Daily Mission: Find Dessert!

Cupcakes to the Rescue!

A beautiful spring day and after a long 3 hours of playing outside my daughters really wanted a treat.  I mean a real treat.  Not some oranges cut up fancy or strawberry kabobs.  I had to bring out the “good” stuff.  So what were my choices?

A. Go to old-fashioned ice cream place on the corner for small cones with sprinkles.

B. Get out the fruit and tell the kids how good it was for them and listen to whining.

C.  Dig to the back of the pantry where I keep the organic cupcake mix.

YEAH, for Choice C!

Yep, organic cupcakes, one box equals 24 tiny cupcakes.  No icing needed and in 25 minutes the girls had their fix for their sweet tooth.  Sure it’s not perfect, but hey they’re kids and as we speak they are eating their fruit for their evening dessert.

How we keep our meals balanced on days when healthy food options seem to be suffering.
