This bread recipe is very different from the ones I had tried, it did not crumble. The bread have a springy texture. My daughter loves having this with her peanut butter spread on top. I glad she is able to enjoy her toast.

I tried to cook the vegetables differently make it differently or more tasty. Sometimes my kids like what I did with the vegetable but not all the time. I think the next best option is to make a smoothie which might hide the vegetable in the smoothie. My kids love fruits; it is sweet and juicy. Smoothie is a good option. Smoothie will blend everything together so my kids can take in all the nutrient from both the fruit and the vegetables. Also, the fruit might hide the vegetable or mask it.
