Monsters on Repeat

So my little one has reached a phase where he wants to watch the same video over and over again.  It reminds me of my sis who made me watch Sound of Music and a Care Bears movie we had on VHS over and over and over again.  His chosen movie is Monsters, Inc.  Sadly I only had 2 cartoons in my dvd collection.  It was Monsters, Inc. vs. Kung Fu Panda and it looks like Monsters, Inc. totally won out.  Kung Fu Panda was a little violent for him anyway as I see how he imitates what he sees on screen.  I'd rather he not try to jump kick me in the face.  I mean this kid is all video'd out.  Not only does he have Monster's Inc on replay but he also still has his roster of youtube cartoons that he likes to watch: Pocoyo, Peppa Pig, Mother Goose Club, Caillou (who I find really whiny and annoying).  I know he really shouldn't watch so much of this stuff.  Maybe I need to be more regimented about what he does.  I mean my hubby's bro only let's his kids watch 10-15 minutes of tv a day.  Now that is regimented.

I made German Apple Cake the other day.  I got the recipe from the below link.

I chopped up 3 fairly large apples, used 1/2 a cup of oil, 1 1/2 cup sugar (I used brown sugar for the 1/2 a cup of sugar instead of regular), I also used 3 tsp of cinnamon like one of the commenters suggested instead of the original recipe and I also put it into a bundt pan and it came out pretty darn good.  There was a suggestion to add a caramel sauce but considering every time I bake anything, my son eats it 24/7, I was trying to make this as healthy as possible so I left out any sauce or icing.  My son and my hubby like it, so it's a winner.

I tried a healthier version of carrot cake and also one of apple cake using apple sauce instead of oil but for some reason to me, there was a dirt like aftertaste (not that I eat dirt regularly but it had an aftertaste of how potted soil smells).  When I cooked the above German Apple Cake using oil, there was no trace of that "dirt" like taste.
