Giveaway!!! Giveaway!!!
Tune in Monday for my very first giveaway!What is it?
I'll give you a hint...it's something fun for a rainy or snowy day. It's educational and it comes from a great new website I discovered that has over 200 online stores, including one for kids bedding! Now I have you thinking, huh? You'll have to wait ALL weekend to find out what it is.

How do you sneak in some veggies with those kids?
Well, my son is a little unique. He likes broccoli but won't touch a pea with a ten foot pole. So the other night, I made a chicken noodle casserole that he likes and I snuck in some peas. I usually put broccoli in the casserole, but this time I chopped up some peas (yes, I chopped up little tiny baby peas) and added it to the broccoli. He thought the green stuff was just broccoli. Boy, did I fool him! I felt almost giddy from pulling off that switch.
Here it is cooked:
And all chopped up:
See you can't tell the difference now, can you?

brilliant! sometimes i feel a little guilty being deceitful, but when you have picky eaters, there is really no other way around it.. i have a 7 year old that won't eat CHEESE. or vegetables! i even have to puree spagetti sauce so there are NO chunks of tomato, or he won't eat it. sometimes i feel its not worth the hassle, but when i see posts like this, i get motivated :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you are GOOD!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious that you chopped up peas. I can't even imagine how long that took you! Glad he ate them though, I bet if you do that a couple more times he might actually start eating peas. My secret is butter. I put a bit of butter on any veggies the kids don't like. They could eat butter straight - so disgusting, I know. So it helps a bit.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your giveaway!
What a sneaky mommy you are! Good job! Gotta get those veggies in them somehow!
ReplyDeleteGood idea Cathy! I do this kind of thing all the time too. I add grated carrot and courgettes to everything, even muffins!!
