V is for Vegetables

Yesterday in preschool we learned that vegetables start with V. So we colored some vegetables to put on our plate. Then for our snack we enjoyed TASTY-somewhat healthy-carrot muffins (we called them "carrot cupcakes") and raw carrots on the side. Yummy.  





You can see I'm a frosting slatherer.  I don't take time to decorate, good thing my preschool students don't judge me. :)

**Here's the recipe for those interested:

Carrot Muffins

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup white flour
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup carrot puree

Mix all ingredients until moistened. Bake in 350 oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Frost with 4 oz light cream cheese and 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla blended.

Makes 12 muffins (or I used a mini muffin tin and it made about 28)

I am so jealous you get to teach preschool at home to 6 cute girls! I bet you love it! And I KNOW you are wonderful at it.

YUMMM!!! Those look delish!! Next time you make some let me know I will be over in a heartbeat!! And I promise I won't even notice the fact that you didn't beautify them. As they will probably be shoved into my mouth in 2 seconds flat! LOL

You are such a great preschool teacher!

Hey Jenna, sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment. The quilting store is The Quilted Cactus and it is over by Mountainside Fitness in one of the little shops next to it. They have some pretty cute fabric!
