Zucchini Pizza Muffins

1 Zucchini

1 cup of shredded Ham

1 Egg

1 Cup of Cheese

1 1/2 Cups of SR Flour (Of course you can use GF, wholemeal…whatever you fancy!)

1/4 Cup of Coconut Oil

1/2 cup of pasta sauce ( If you feel like it)

Grate zucchini up. If your kids have an aversion to colour then I recommend peeling the green off first. ( handy for sensory issues)

Combine the zucchini with flour, egg, oil and cheese but leave some cheese to sprinkle on top. Add in the ham while stirring the rest through. Sometimes I will add some pasta sauce in the mix if it is too dry and that gives it a real pizza taste! It’s delicious without but my kids are sauce mad plus it covers any colour issues.

Stir through thoroughly and spoon into a muffin tray OR cup cake cases (Perfect for school lunches)

Once you have spooned it in just sprinkle a little cheese on top and pop in the oven at 180 for about 20 minutes.

Keep an eye on them. Just bake it till it rises and is golden.

Done!

Note: I also will put a tiny amount of sauce on top before the cheese if I have the time.

These bad boys freeze really well so whack them in a snap lock bag and pull them out in the morning before school. They are super fresh and yummy by the time lunch time hits!

Kids sausage rolls

From the blog post….

So in order to get both meat and veggies into him I did a quick plan in my head and came up with the only veggie I knew he wouldn’t suspect to find and that I could easily hide into his food. Zucchini. Once you peel the green off it’s a perfect veggie to grate into anything.

So….

500grams of lean beef mince

1 diced onion

2 peeled and grated zucchini’s

2 tablespoons of tomato sauce

1 table spoon of minced garlic

6 sheets of puff pastry

Half a cup of bread crumbs if desired

1 egg ( lightly beaten)

If your child can deal with any other herbs or veggies sneak them in accordingly. You can adapt this to pretty much anything you know your kid will eat!

Mix beef, onion, Zucchini, garlic and tomato sauce into a bowl. Pour egg mixture into bowl an gently mix in with hands. Add in the bread crumbs if desired. Once mixture is thoroughly stirred pull apart pastry sheets and lay out on kitchen bench. Depending on what size you want cut pastry into strips, I can get 3 strips out of one sheet which makes mini ones my toddler loves or you can make bigger portions if you just half the pastry sheet.

On one side of the pastry layer a strip of the beef mixture and roll the pastry over it so that it’s in a neat roll. Usually I indent the pastry roll into portions before i cook it.

Pop in the oven at 180 degrees and cook until golden brown.

For myself, I have to be careful not to let the bottom get to brown or my son won’t eat it. That colour will just not do (FFS)

Note: No I am not a nutritionist and I don’t pretend to be one, Just a mum who has racked up hundreds of hours trying to get my child to eat foods outside his 4 group policy. I have been lectured many times by nutritionists and health conscious folk that you simply just give your child the food they need to eat until they eat it (how easy!) If you have ever tried this with a ASD child and won this battle I will hand you my kidney. Or if you know your child will simply not eat for days on end unless it’s the specified, sensory, colour coded arrangement that only they like…well then I feel ya people  xx
