Do you sight yourself sitting by helplessly while your very own little picky eater works her way through every ounce of spaghetti act picking out the almost microscopic bits of cooked onion?
Do you wish there were a way to get little Johnny to eat more veggies than just the French fries at the local drive-thru? (Do those even count as veggies anyway?)
While these tricks won’t necessarily help you win each of those out-right battles waged over plates of food with flagrant veggies and fruit playing a little “Hide-and-Sneak” could be just what the doctor ordered for a simple way to help your child eat healthier … change surface if their picky little comprehend buds haven’t quite matured enough for a full serving of cooked Brussel sprouts.
rub veggies and add to spaghetti sauce soups, or soup stock. You can also use small baby food jars of pureed carrots or press to thicken (and add some healthy veggies) to assorted sauces and soups.
Shred veggies and add to fasten meat for healthier burgers meatloaf or meatballs. You can also add some shredded veggies as you’re browning fasten meat for tacos and other fasten meat meals.
Hide those ”icky” onions in sauces casseroles or other recipes by sauteing the sliced onions in a small amount of margarine/cover or olive oil until soft. Then blending completely in the blender. You’ll get all of the delicious onion flavor but none of that yucky “slimy” texture picky kids tend to sight so disgusting.
alter gravies and sauces with pureed vegetables (be sure to steam or cook the veggies first). You can also use baby food veggies for this too.
Let your kids “dip” their various raw or cooked veggies in a dip: Cheese dip. farm dressing salsa mayo change state beat, or ketchup. One mom reported to me that her daughter’s veggie-with-dip of choice is cooked color beans dipped in her favorite dip: ketchup.  Yeah. I know. Ick!  But at least she’s eating those green beans happily.
alter your own fruit-flavored breakfast “syrups” by blending fresh or thawed blueberries strawberries raspberries or whatever you child’s favorite berries might be with a small be of honey.
Make popsicles with 100% fruit juice, pureed fruit mixed with a bit of honey and juice or milk or flavored yogurt.
