Well as you know, the Lexiphage has problems with getting the smurfs to eat. Getting them to eat anything at all is a challenge, but vegetables is an impossibility.
Granny has gone on the nutritional warpath and appears to be having some success. Preparing unusual food is an adventure, and a challenge undertaken with great enthusiasm.
The goal, eliminate any ingredient that may have effects on autism, yet make irresistably yummy foods.
1) No milk, cheese, butter, sugar or wheat (and now apparently no soy).
2) Include as many nutritional powerhouse vegetables as possible.
Granny has been busily making the children treats. The younger smurf heartily gobbled the first batch them down with great gusto.
Who knew?!?! The arsenal:
Broccoli and Cinnamon Muffins with Raisins, made with spelt flour and sucanat for sweetening.
Rutabaga and Ginger Muffins, made with kamut flour, oatmeal and honey for sweetening.
Today's offering ... Spinach and Squash Muffins with Raisins, made with chick pea flour and rice flour, also sweetened with sucanat. (Probably the best so far!)
I'm just getting started, it is unbelievable how delicious these are despite the unusual ingredients. These little babies are smurf-magnets - but surprisingly enough, they are disappearing from the cooling rack when there are no smurfs around ... and the dog can't reach them.

Oh do let me know how you get on! We have terrible issues with food. I could do with all the help I can get. Drop on over when you have a cup of coffee.

Those smurfs are lucky to have such an adventurious Granny. This may be your opportunity to write your first cook book. I'm sure it would be a big seller, there are lots of parents struggling to find something to feed their autistic children.
Keep an eye on the woofit (whoever may be takin' the bakin' off the cooling rack and isn't the dog!)
Sounds delicious.....just not for me..
But I'm so glad the Smurfs are enjoying them...Keep up the good work Granny.
Recipe sounds interesting. Maybe forward them on.
They sound really interesting... I can't wait to see someone else try them!
Can I borrow granny please? Express Mail - buyer collects. Best wishes
