"More, More!!" Apple Pear Jigglers
"It's a fun finger food for infants and toddlers that packs a little calcium and vitamin punch. Try vegetarian cream cheese and soy yogurt for the lactose intolerant child or children not yet introduced to milk products. Cook time is approximate chill time. Servings are dependent on size of squares or shapes cut, but we cut the pan into 5 rows and 5 columns, yielding 25 squares."

I am not rating with stars here because I wonder if I have done something wrong. I followed the recipe to a T but these never "set" for me. Maybe my envelope of gelatin was the wrong size? DS would only finger paint with it when I tried to give him a bite LOL. Sorry...these sound like such a great idea! Maybe I'll try again sometime.

I am a wife and mom of 2 vibrant little boys. They love to create and cook in the kitchen... I love their curiosity and willingness to try new foods and techniques as I introduce them.
I love to cook... always have. Thanks to my father for this culinary passion! While I am addicted to collecting cookbooks, my dad taught me to experiment in the kitchen and gave me the gift of knowing that creative cooking doesn't have to come from a book.
