Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 We cook broccoli, cauliflower and carrots until they are very soft and each kid has their own masher to mash the colors into the mashed potatoes before dinner. I'm sure this robs the veggies of many nutrients, however(the overcooking). They try to combine colors, etc. Maybe you could do it with baby food because they're not supposed to lose their nutrients but are still soft? Anyway, my NT son is proud of this, like an art project, and shows Daddy when he gets home. More mess! Helene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
