Participants: Ash, Eli, Mom, Dad, myself

Difficulty: Minimal... if you can handle chopping a lot. It requires dicing sweet potato, onion, and apple.

Prep: So. Much. Chopping. (disclaimer: I really don't particularly like chopping vegetables, whenever possible I try to get someone else to do it) It took probably 10-15 minutes to prep, most of it fetching things from the pantry and chopping. To make my life easier, I chopped things in reverse order and put them in a large measuring cup/mixing bowl. So apple and ham went on the bottom, then sweet potato, then onion on top so they'd go into the pan in the correct order. That also meant I got to chop stinky onion last. Score!
Mess: Not bad - one large pan, one large mixing bowl, a cutting board, knife, a few utensils.
Cleanup: See above...
Age Range: Adult for prep, 1+ for eating (possibly younger)

Verdict: Overall win for the adults - Ash wasn't impressed. He picked out the ham, but the scrambled eggs weren't recognizable enough, and there was the whole issue of food touching. Casseroles don't fly with Ash or the daycare so I knew it was a long shot, but I was hoping that the presence of ham and eggs would help. Personally I thought it needed... something, but I also left out the cayenne because the kids don't do heat. So that could be the missing kick (Eli said he'd like it more with the cayenne). I'll probably make this again for home but not for the daycare.

why have milk OR juice when you can have BOTH at the same time??
