He is pickier than my daughter ever dreamed of. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday I made cheese quesidillas in my sandwhich maker and added small pieces of brocolie. My daughter actually ate it, but my son. Nope. He threw his sandwich on the floor. The dog ate it. :(Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240113783462640605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-63074200755000866872009-02-19T12:29:00.000-05:002009-02-19T12:29:00.000-05:00LOLI sneak fruit and veggies into my dishes.

Now my kids love fresh spinach and their favorite salad is spinach, with romaine lettuce, then we like to add crumbled feta cheese, raisins, almonds and sometimes bacon bits!

It works for the time being (wipes forehead) and I agree, sneaking in veggies will work for my son. Although, my nephew is an entirely different story. He will immediately spit out his food if there's a molecule of veggies in it, it's an amazing talent of his :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-52431334172595522122009-02-18T11:11:00.000-05:002009-02-18T11:11:00.000-05:00I've been trying to add more veggies into our thin...I've been trying to add more veggies into our things, too.

Added some sweetness and no one ever noticed the extra nutrition. I fooled her into eating mushrooms recently by dicing them up for the sauce, LOL. You can also put grated carrots in brown gravy, meat loaf and a lot of other foods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
