Eat Yer Veggies

Some attempts to get Wyatt to eat more veggies....

Uno:
Lisa and Dylan taught me this one.  Lightly coat spinach with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay flat on a baking sheet and cook at 250 degrees for about 20 minutes.  They are like little papery salty chips.  I loved them.  Hunter tolerated them.  Wyatt spit them out. FAIL!

Two:
I plan to try the chard chip version like so.  What are your favorite chard recipes? 

C:
We had snap peas and flank steak sliced thinly and marinated in soy sauce.  Dee-lish-us and Wyatt actually liked the snap peas.  Perhaps he just needed some tasty steak to tempt him. (Sorry veggie-tarians).

Four:
Do tomatoes count as vegetables because Wyatt will eat a container of grape tomatoes in 2 days?

Six Minus One:
Dare I try turnips again? I like turnip greens.  I do not care for turnips.  The in laws have an amazing garden so I came home with about 6 turnips.  I googled "how to make turnips taste good".  Maybe some of these?  Maybe this turnip puff?  Maybe diced and cooked like breakfast potatoes as recommended by my mommy-in-law?  Wish me luck...bleh!


Send me your toddler or adult veggie tricks on the double.  Now that we live close to the in laws we will have a lifetime supply of veggies.  I am not kidding.
