My 16 month old son just ate this up. It is cool, refreshing, healthy and easy! Check out my page on picky eating therapy, if you think this is something your child would not eat.

Looks like he loved it !!
Reading your blog last week led me to make kale and potato cakes, which were a hit with my family. I’m a fan, and now a follower….
Peace and good
Oooh, how I wish I ate quinoa because this looks amazing.

Thanks for sharing that..I should try this at home.
Wow. The looks on the kiddo’s face is telling the story of how yummy this must have been.
