I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week so I've been taking the easy route on meals, so unfortunately, I have nothing of interest to share.

What I do have is a little trick I've come up with to sneak a few little extras to the kiddo. Delilah LOVES flavored milks. After a couple week of catering to her strawberry milk addicton, I finally grew tired of the extra sugar and crap as well as the extra cost of ridiculously overpriced flavored milks...so I finally got smart.

I always keep yogurt on hand, but unfortunately Delilah refuses to be fed... little Miss Independent can't be bothered to sit still and be fed. I found these excellent 3-n-1 meals from Stonyfield Farms (yogurt, fruit AND veggies all in one!!). I've started adding half a container to half a cup of milk and the kiddo is in l-o-v-e. She thinks she's getting her beloved flavored milk, but she's actually getting extra calcium as well as a little extra fruit and veggies. Awesome.

Welcome!

Welcome to A Dash of Jen. I'm Jen, a full-time stay-at-home Momma 20 month, finiky eater, Delilah. I also feed a grown-up kid, Eric. In a former life, I was an strict recipe follower, but now I've adopted more of a "Eh, toss this in, too.. " mentality. I've experienced some success as Eric is forever telling me that I need to start my own food blog (I listened for once honey, are you happy?).

So my food blog journey begins here. I hope you find some good recipes here and if I fail miserably, at least you'll know not to waste your own time...
