These potatoes were super simple to make

These potatoes were super simple to make

If you’re sick of mashed potatoes this one might be worth a try. All of the ingredients were already on hand and some going bad so I gave it a go.

Finishing them in the oven kind of sucks because you have to dirty another dish. Maybe I’d skip that and just warm and mix in the potatoes next time. Never tried manual mode so maybe this is the recipe I give it a go with.

Otherwise the flavor is great. If serving to kids, definitely reduce the garlic (or use smaller cloves, mine were fairly large). My kids were overwhelmed by the garlic flavor.

Nice concept but lacks flavor

Continuing on my search for a recipe that’s great first time through. This one is a nice concept for parents trying to maximize nutrition for their kiddos. The texture is a bit off from regular pancakes but still enjoyable.
Biggest problem with the recipe is it lacks flavor. There’s a hint of banana from time to time but otherwise, bland. A little salt and cinnamon would go a long way. Or cut up bananas and pour the batter around it for the caramelized sugars.
We ate these with coconut yogurt and the kids liked them.

I don’t think that picture is for this recipe

No confidence these chunks of carrots will magically turn to cookies. Another bad recipe but I keep trying and hoping

Biking around Canmore/Banff with kids (ages 2–4) & looking for advice

Hi everyone, hoping to get some local advice. We’re visiting in September with 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 2–4) and hoping to do some biking while we’re there.

The kids are used to riding in rear bike seats, and we regularly bike around cities and forests at home. We can comfortably do ~20 km/day with stops but it is all flat for the most part. Their seats recline so they can also nap in the seat while we’re on the move.

For those who’ve biked with young kids around Canmore/Banff:

- What bike setup would you recommend for exploring the area?

- Any routes you’d particularly recommend with kids this age?

- Any good rental companies that can provide bikes + child seats?

Thanks!
