Potato and Butternut Squash Tots
Do you have a picky eater like my son? My one year old doesn't want to eat anything with a spoon. Even if I give him finger food and he doesn't like the texture, he wont even try the taste. It just ends up on the floor.
But I made this Potato and Butternut Squash the other day and he loved it!!! I didn't have a chance to take picture but here is the recipe. I will make sure to have picture for my next batch... 😊
Ingredients:
But I made this Potato and Butternut Squash the other day and he loved it!!! I didn't have a chance to take picture but here is the recipe. I will make sure to have picture for my next batch... 😊
Ingredients:
- 2 cups potato, peeled
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1.5 tbsp flour
- 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
Direction:
- Chop the butternut squash and potato into small bite size. In a large saucepan boil water and cook the potato and butternut squash for approx 10 minutes until soft.
- Drain the potato and butternut squash completely and return to the saucepan. Mash with hand masher and then add cheese, flour, garlic and herbs and mix well. (you can also season with salt and pepper)
- Let the potato and butternut squash to cool.
- Spray a baking sheet with Cooking Spray. Sprinkle half the dried breadcrumbs and layer the potato and butternut squash a very thin layer to make it crispy.
- Pre-heat own to 350. Bake for 30 minutes. Then lower heat to 200 degree and bake additional to make crispy.
**I make them thin and crispy because thats the only way my son eats anything but you can shape them thicker and don't have to bake as much.
**You can also shape them like Potato Tots and fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Are you doing anything special for your child, spouse or family?
Do you buy a Valentine's Day gift for your baby or just your spouse?
Are you going to have a Valentine's Day Photo Shoot for your baby?
Little Man is ONE!!!!
I can't believe that a whole year has passed already. My little guy is all grown up (well not really but in my eyes he is so much bigger now).
We did his birthday last weekend and we had about 100 of our family and friends there to celebrate with us. Everything turned out great. His birthday theme was Mr. One-derful. I loved it!!! it was so different. Even when I went to order his birthday cake the lady there kept asking me am I sure that's what I want for a one year old's birthday.

Here is the adorable invitations I made.
And here is the amazing cake... Yumm...
Even the centerpieces I had created where not the typical 1 year old's birthday theme but everything was so elegant. It was all gold vases with a black bow tie and a mini top hat on the flowers.
Here is the overall dessert table... which I am not going to lie... I am very proud of...
Here are close up of all the pastries:
bow tie and tie cookies
cake pops
brownies with adorable gold bows
I had ordered his cake from Vrej Pastry in Pasadena, CA
If you love Armenian, Middle Eastern Pastries you must stop by and try all their yummy sweets.
I had the rest of the desserts made by a lovely mom : Shushan Gezalian - L.M.D Designs
