Healthy Vegetables Side Dish That Your Toddler Will Eat

Healthy Vegetables Side Dish That Your Toddler Will Eat!
Sweet Potato Biscuits

This post makes me laugh.  I actually completely ruined this recipe.  I found it on my go-to web site for healthy recipes to try on my toddler.  It is on Weelicious.com.

I had some sweet potatoes waiting to be used and I wanted to try something different other than my go-to muffins.  So I went to Weelicious.com and simply typed in sweet potatoes.  My results were a ton of great things I need to try. 

I settled on the recipe Sweet Potato Biscuits.  Other than muffins, I don’t make many bread recipes.  I don’t have the patience for the yeast rising and up until recently I haven’t been able to do the whole floured surface and rolling thing.  I finally started using a pastry mat – what a dream come true. Before, I was using my counter which no matter how many times I washed it it was never clean enough and no amount of flour stopped things from sticking. But when using a pastry mat and not needing to use yeast and wait I thought this recipe might be doable.  I was wrong.

My first mistake was not really reading the instructions.  Now I normally forget an ingredient or two when I screw up a recipe but not this time.  This time I felt I knew better. Actually it was - I don’t have the patience to do it the way the recipe says.  So instead of pulsing the dry ingredients and then dough I just turned the food processor on.  Well over mixing my dough did one thing – it caused my biscuits not to rise.  They looked like pancakes.  I was hesitant to even try them out.  But if I expected my toddler to try them I had to do the same.  So my husband and I gave them a shot.  For the dense-ness of them not rising they were actually pretty good.  Will (our toddler) actually ate his too.  So surprisingly this was a success for the tasting just not for the chef.  Lesson learned to follow the instructions, well hopefully.
