Toddler Food - Tuna Pea and Pumpkin Kale Croquettes

G. hates peas.

She used to eat peas every day like they were candy. Best thing ever. Peas were better than cereal in a circular shape.

G. turned one. Hates peas.

In true toddler fashion, make them look a little different, they are yummy. The ones on the left are the Tuna Pea Croquettes. The ones on the right are Pumpkin Kale.

1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted and pulsed in a food processor or blender

Mix everything together. Shape into 2 tablespoon patties. Place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.

Pumpkin Kale Croquettes
