To get more vegetables into my picky eaters, I use Veggie Smart Prego

Spaghetti and Pizza sauces. Both of these contain 10 servings of

vegetables per jar. We use a whole jar on each pizza. I usually cut the

pizza into 6 pieces. So that is approximately 2 servings per slice of

pizza. Katarina eats about 3 slices for a total of 6 vegetable servings.

You can not tell the difference from the Heart Smart versions I used to

buy. Also you can add ground vegetables to cakes in place of the oils.

I can't remember seeing a cook book with ways to hide vegetables.

My recommendations:Stop making a drama at the table.Every meal, portion veggies

to the " picky eater " (98% of all the kids are and they " grow out " " of it,

eventually) and as he makes a " face " and starts the " drama " say something to the

effect: this is what mom made for dinner. No one is forcing it at you. YOu can

leave it at the plate or try it, maybe you'll like it. if the kid eats - great.

No praise, no punishment, no drama.If he doesn't - same response.Most

importantly - mom and dad are eating the veggies and maybe take seconds. Setting

an example. Monkey sees monkey do. Eventually, some kids sooner then others,

will try the " forbidden fruit " . Just be consistent. No drama, no fuss, and

continue to portion to their plate whatever is served to the rest of the dinners

(only in smaller portion).

I don't like deception. Maybe because I see it as a form of lying. When the kids

will discover that, the parent will lose credit and trust.I was around that age

(5) when I discovered that the coffee I wanted was tea with milk. Back then my

parents believed it is better for me then coffee, so they did what they thought

was right. But after I discovered that - not only I stopped drinking that

" coffee " , I lost some trust, even if temporarily in my parents. DOn't

underestimate the little ones. They outsmart us every generation!Thank's G-d we

don't live in a 3rd world country. The kid would not die of hunger (at least not

in this case, it seems, though yes, unfortunately, many kids in our nation do

struggle with hunger, and that, is beyond sad). If she can afford that - tell

her to get Pediasure. It will ease her mind and the kid would love it. Problem

solved (2-3X/day), all Vit and minerals provided. Eventually - the kid will try

new foods and eat some veggies if not all.

My daughter used to eat only mashed potato, rice (white!) and chic nuggets. No

veggie in sight. I did all of the above with her, who is now 18 and would NOT

sit for dinner w/o a fresh salad!

Merav, thank you. I hesitated to join the comments but I cannot see hiding

foods and passing them off as other foods. I'm now teaching my seniors

(elder seniors not a class grade seniors) this same concept and some find it

amazing. Why hide good food under something else?

I would suggest having a child grow a garden from a seedling on up to the

fruit or vegetable. It doesn't take long, or lots of room. If they grow it

they'll trust it and at least taste it. I slso will not serve other than the

vegetable assortment for that day. If they eat it they eat it, if they

don't, well, tomorrow is another day and maybe I'll have another vegetable

on the menu that they'll like.

Exactly! and many times when they grow the veg or help making the meal they feel

more " connected " to it and as you said " at least try it " .My motto also was

" don't say 'no' before you tried it " and to this day my daughter will try

anything (that's how she grew to love chix feet and other dimsusm items ,which

are not something originally in our Middle Eastern/Mediterranean culture).

I agree with Digna and Merav....I grew up in a family of 5 where " options " were

not an option...you ate what was put in front of you. My mom was an adventurous

cook for women in the 60's and 70's. We learned to eat many different and

varied foods. None of which, myself, nor my siblings ever whined about. Me, I

hated ham jambalaya; but I ate it...my sister...she hated souffle.....but she

ate it. As stated so well by Merav....no fuss, no drama.

Thanks Cece, and you know what else- you, your siblings, Digna and me- we are a

different generation.we had more respect for what our parents put on the table.

We respected the hard work that got the food on the table and that's why we

didn't whine , as you said, but ate what was served.

We also ate together as a family every night...no television on, put our napkins

in our laps, no elbows on the table and had to be excused from the table when

finished......took our dishes to the sink, rinsed them and put them in the

dishwasher. Thanks for this walk down my memory lane!

[Guest guest]

We also ate together as a family every night...no television on, put our napkins

in our laps, no elbows on the table and had to be excused from the table when

finished......took our dishes to the sink, rinsed them and put them in the

dishwasher. Thanks for this walk down my memory lane!

My kids know they have to take a " No Thank you bite " . If after one bite they

don't like it that day they can say " No Thank you, I don't want anymore of that

right now " . My kids are young...preschool age but seems to work pretty well.

Merav, thank you. I hesitated to join the comments but I cannot see hiding

foods and passing them off as other foods. I'm now teaching my seniors

(elder seniors not a class grade seniors) this same concept and some find it

amazing. Why hide good food under something else?

I would suggest having a child grow a garden from a seedling on up to the

fruit or vegetable. It doesn't take long, or lots of room. If they grow it

they'll trust it and at least taste it. I slso will not serve other than the

vegetable assortment for that day. If they eat it they eat it, if they

don't, well, tomorrow is another day and maybe I'll have another vegetable

on the menu that they'll like.

Re: Recommendations for getting children to eat

vegetables

To get more vegetables into my picky eaters, I use Veggie Smart Prego

Spaghetti and Pizza sauces. Both of these contain 10 servings of

vegetables per jar. We use a whole jar on each pizza. I usually cut the

pizza into 6 pieces. So that is approximately 2 servings per slice of

pizza. Katarina eats about 3 slices for a total of 6 vegetable servings.

You can not tell the difference from the Heart Smart versions I used to

buy. Also you can add ground vegetables to cakes in place of the oils.

I can't remember seeing a cook book with ways to hide vegetables.

My very wise daughter-in-law addressed this problem much better than I did.

When my children were at the 'I hate veggies' stage, I used to serve them

rigatoni and have the veggies 'hidden' inside. To this day they are all

suspicious of tubular pastas!

My DIL simply told the children that they had to take the same number of

vegetable bites as their age. It really worked. She began this as soon as they

learned to count. Of course if after the prescribed number of bites they found

that they did like some veggies and wanted more she would 'permit' the treat!

My recommendations:Stop making a drama at the table.Every meal, portion veggies

to  the " picky eater " (98% of all the kids are and they " grow out " " of it,

eventually) and as he makes a " face " and starts the " drama " say something to the

effect: this is what mom made for dinner. No one is forcing it at you. YOu can

leave it at the plate or try it, maybe you'll like it. if the kid eats -  great.

No praise, no punishment, no drama.If he doesn't - same response.Most

importantly - mom and dad are eating the veggies and maybe take seconds. Setting

an example. Monkey sees monkey do. Eventually, some kids sooner then others,

will try the " forbidden fruit " . Just be consistent. No drama, no fuss, and

continue to portion to their plate whatever is served to the rest of the dinners

(only in smaller portion).

I don't like deception. Maybe because I see it as a form of lying. When the kids

will discover that, the parent will lose credit and trust.I was around that age

(5) when I discovered that the coffee I wanted was tea with milk. Back then my

parents believed it is better for me then coffee, so they did what they thought

was right. But after I discovered that -  not only I stopped drinking that

" coffee " , I lost some trust, even if temporarily in my parents. DOn't

underestimate the little ones. They outsmart us every generation!Thank's G-d we

don't live in a 3rd world country. The kid would not die of hunger (at least not

in this case, it seems, though yes, unfortunately, many kids in our nation do

struggle with hunger, and that, is beyond sad). If she can afford that - tell

her to get Pediasure. It will ease her mind and the kid would love it. Problem

solved (2-3X/day), all Vit and minerals provided. Eventually - the kid will try

new foods and eat some

veggies if not all.

My daughter used to eat only mashed potato, rice (white!) and chic nuggets. No

veggie in sight. I did all of the above with her, who is now 18 and would NOT

sit for dinner w/o a fresh salad!

To get more vegetables into my picky eaters, I use Veggie Smart Prego

Spaghetti and Pizza sauces. Both of these contain 10 servings of

vegetables per jar. We use a whole jar on each pizza. I usually cut the

pizza into 6 pieces. So that is approximately 2 servings per slice of

pizza. Katarina eats about 3 slices for a total of 6 vegetable servings.

You can not tell the difference from the Heart Smart versions I used to

buy. Also you can add ground vegetables to cakes in place of the oils.

I can't remember seeing a cook book with ways to hide vegetables.

That's good news right? Wish you'd hear back from the US hr lady right now!!!

Any word from your parents yet about aunt Ruth ? I don't suppose you've had a

chance to talk to your brother yet about the funeral/cremation? If you do talk

to him ,do you want to ask him about Disney as well and find out their plans? Or

i can always talk to colleen about it. At some point we'll need to make a

decision about whether we are going to go or not with either them at spring

break or at another time with your folks. Things are booking up fast for spring

break as almost all schools in the country have that week off....

MR

Ps. No drinks tonite with the girls....should I find a sitter for tomorrow nite

or ask Jeanne & greg if they & the kids want to come over?
