Like Ice-Cream Only Healthier

Last Christmas the girls and I received that book "The Sneaky Chef" from my sister Jess (also the owner of Petexpertise.com - check it out if you need pet supplies, wink wink).

The book lists tons of recipes for kid-friendly type food but with added healthy ingredients that they won't detect!  It's awfully fun to read through the book and see how this mom had used cauliflower in her home-made Mac n' Cheese without her kids ever knowing!  Hence the name "Sneaky Chef".

I've been excited to try some of the lunch and dinner recipes but this week I let my oldest pick and she decided to go with some "breakfast ice-cream".  It's so super simple and only requires some fruit, honey and yogurt!

We chose strawberries and raspberries since those are Natty's favorite and they were on sale (haha).  You just throw about 1.5 cups of fruit into the food processor...

Then add 2 tablespoons of yogurt and 1 tablespoon of honey:

Then simply blend it up until it's nice and smooth and place in a glass dish and then into the freezer.  Natty was super excited to help and even more excited to eat it!

It definitely doesn't get as thick as ice-cream (or maybe I did it wrong) so you may want to have a few SmartSeat Chair Covers on hand when you go to serve the kiddos.  However, it tastes sweet and fresh and both girls loved it.

Featured mom-inventor Rebecca Rabson of the SmartSeat Chair Protectors

This month our featured mom-inventor is Rebecca Rabson, inventor of the SmartSeat Washable Dining Chair Seat Covers! You can check out a little piece of the interview below, and then visit Living My Moment to read the full article. Rebecca has been such a pleasure to work with and she is now my hero after inventing this very practical product that has saved my dining room chair from 1,000,000 squished hotdog and macaroni stains, heehee.



* When did you first come up with the idea for the SmartSeat Chair Cover and why?
I came up with the idea for the SmartSeat Chair Protector when we renovated our dining room and bought our first nice dining room set.  I wanted to eat meals together as a family, but didn’t want my kids to ruin my new chairs.  I looked but couldn’t find an attractive, waterproof protective cover.  I didn’t want a sticky vinyl cover that flopped over the seat and squeaked when sat on.  If you’ve got kids, then you know how much they hate sticky plastic seat covers!  And, having purchased upholstery that I loved, I didn’t want a slipcover that would completely change the look of the chairs.  The SmartSeat Chair Protector was my solution: a discreet, attractive, waterproof protective cover for upholstered dining room and kitchen chairs.
