 
Dilly Dip - also known as "weird stuff"
My kids cannot
get enough of this. They love to dip carrots and celery in it and
are always requesting it.
1/2 cup low fat or non fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
1 tablespoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon Bon Appetit*
- Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Serve with your favorite vegetables.
Yield: 1 cup of dip
tot tip: Put a spoonful of mayonnaise and sour cream on
the child's plate. Sprinkle dill weed and Bon Appetit on top and
let them mix it themselves with a carrot or celery stick. For children
under three who may choke on raw vegetables, steam the vegetables
lightly before serving.
* Bon Appetit can be found in the spice section
at the grocery. Instead of Bon Appetit, you could use 1/4 teaspoon
minced onion, 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Applesauce Gel Squares
You'll love
this healthy sugar free finger gelatin. This is a good transitional
food for older babies who are venturing from baby food, but haven't
mastered the use of spoons.
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups apple juice
3 small packages unflavored gelatin*
- In a small bowl, mix cinnamon into applesauce and set aside.
- Pour 1 cup cold apple juice in 8x8 pan and sprinkle gelatin
on top.
- Heat remaining 1 cup of apple juice in the microwave for 3 minutes
or until boiling.
- Stir boiling juice into the gelatin and cold apple juice.
- Stir in applesauce.
- Refrigerate for 1/2 hour and then stir to keep applesauce evenly
distributed. If you omit this step the applesauce settles to the
bottom, but it still tastes great!
- Refrigerate for an additional 2 1/2 hours or until firm.
- Cut into squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters to cut
into shapes, and serve.
* Unflavored gelatin can be found near the jello
at a grocery store. It is great to have on hand for making finger
jello from juice. One envelope (7 grams) gels one cup of liquid.
