Discussion»Questions»Babies and Kids» Parents, did you ever use any clever ways to sneak veggies into your children's food? If so, what were those ways? ~
I didn't have to with my kids, but I do have a trick that works. Finely chop broccoli and carrots and put in tomato sauce for lasagna, spaghetti, etc. I don't really do it to be sneaky, I do it because I think it's delicious. My veggie-hating family members were shocked when I told them why my sauce is so good. :)
Pumpkin was something my kids hated, so I pullled a stunt my parents used on my siblings and I when we were little - orange potatoes. Mix sweet potato in with the regular mash, then when the kids are used to the colour, switch it. Other vegies were never a problem.
My children would eat pasta sauce and macaroni/cheese regardless what I added to it. I, of course, never added anything gross.
