I have seen tons of recipes for zucchini brownies or banana zucchini bread you could try! Or google skinny chunky monkey cookies - banana, PB, applesauce, cocoa powder and oats! Re: the stainless steel, what do you use to clean it? Someone gave me actual stainless steel spray cleaner that foams a bit and it makes everything sparkly and shiny instantly! I'm sure you have a lot more surface to clean, though, so that might not be cost efficient. And then you wouldn't get quite the workout lol. Good luck!!

Unfortunately I can only use approved chemicals for the milkhouse. All of which will take a dried bit of milk off in a second but leave stupid water marks so it doesn't look like you cleaned anything! Stupid water marks.

Oh and thanks for the recipe ideas! I'm googling skinny chunky monkey cookies now. lol This could get me in trouble.. maybe I should only google recipes at lunchtime so I'm shoving food in my mouth when I do it.

Wishing you continued luck with your quest for veggie consumption. And with that inspection as well - dispensing elbow grease will be a good work out!

DFW-males never question toots or their origin, they are only pleased to have toots and a plentiful supply of them. All will be well, they'll never suspect a thing.

Success! Keep it up! If I lived closer, I would help you with the barn cleaning. Chin up - just think of all the calories you will burn and how well you will sleep! :)

I hate veggies so I bought a cookbook called Stealth Health. It's amazing how you can hide the veggies and still have a tasty dish. Been around a few dairy farms...don't envy your task. Farm On girl.

Cleaning will definitely be a workout. Keep hiding those veggies, they'll thank you later, even if they have the toots. I make a chocolate zucchini cookie that is really cake-y and the kids love it. I think I found the recipe on-line, but can't remember if it was here or elsewhere. Good luck cleaning and hiding the veggies!!

HA! I got my 30 minute walk in so now anything else I do today is gravy. :) So long as I stay away the oreos...

Good job on the walk! And the barn cleaning sounds like quite a workout! Cleaning, the workout you have to do, but no one ever feels like it IS their workout, lol. Muppetsmom-I'm going to have to check out that cookbook, I need to get my family to eat more veggies and if I have to sneak it into their food, so be it, they'll thank me later :)

Getting your walk in was great - I will have to get mine in tomorrow. Don't want to fail the challenge this early in the game. I have some sponge/cloth things that fit over your hands made especially for stainless steel. I use them with my "Barkeepers Friend" cleanser in the kitchen on pots and my SS garbage can. I bet they would work with your dairy approved cleaners.

I have a recipe when you puree a whole can of black beans pureed and add to brownies mix and no one knows.

I have a recipe for cookies using whole wheat flour, oats, organic applesauce, chopped dried fruit, nuts, honey, & maple syrup (chocolate chips are an option). Hmm, I also have an old Susan Powter kids cookbook somewhere that has just the kind of recipes you need; I'll try to find it. My Cost Rican friend talks about chopping veggies really fine so her husband doesn't notice them; kids of all ages, right?

"Hey Mom, I'm Hungry" is the name of that cookbook; good stuff in it.

I have heard about those black bean brownies, that they are FANTASTIC! I think I'll see if I can find that book at the library.
