I had the yummiest lunch the other day. My mom was a tad grossed out when I told her but I stand by the fact that it was quite tasty. :) I topped a baked potato with black beans and a mixture of sour cream and pureed pumpkin. Wonderful!!
My partial success comes with my attempt at homemade Cheez-it crackers. So why the attempt?
Store bought Cheez-it ingredients:
Homemade Cheez-it ingredients:
*Cheese
*Flour
*Butter
*Salt
Makes sense I would want to try my own, right?
Well, first off, I thought my creation was fantastic!!! I think using sharp cheese was key. The mistake I made was in telling Cameron (not Kendall, she liked them) that they were homemade "Cheez-it crackers". I should have just called them some new cute name and then he wouldn't compare them. They are more biscuit like and less hard, but I think the flavor is awesome. And despite asking for the "regular ones", he will eat them.
So my conclusion is that I will continue to make them and at least feed them to him more often than the regular ones. Maybe he'll eventually learn to LOVE them as much as I do!! So I would try them, but just call them something different. :)

More power to you in figuring out ways to avoid y'all eating the foods with a mile-long ingredient list. The cheez-its are probably good--especially with sharp cheese.

They were a success with Matt and I, lol. We loved them.
We are eliminating as much processed foods as possible and my kids complain some too but I tell them to give it time and thier taste buds will adjust. Breven isin't liking whole wheat organic bread but when I read what was in the 45 calorie bread I was not a happy camper yea its low cal bu full of junk! They do adjust to it soon.
