@Marta- I...Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!<br /><br />@Marta- I'm glad this helped someone's kid eat some carrots! I'm going to try the recipe again next week and see if Pumpkin still likes them. She can be very fickle about food.<br /><br />@Nej- Pumpkin won't eat potatoes in most forms, either. I can't get my head around a child of mine who does not love potatoes. I practically lived on them when I was a kid!Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-45304552684869393852010-02-17T20:29:14.423-08:002010-02-17T20:29:14.423-08:00Cloud,

These pancakes make my very picky eater ingest ACTUAL CARROTS. This was a huge win for me. Thanks for making it happen.<br />Marta :)MLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187317305652056053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-13669797537633941342010-02-17T11:01:24.592-08:002010-02-17T11:01:24.592-08:00Hey, I think one WIN is all you need some days!Hey, I think one WIN is all you need some days!caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-38089854994167485232010-02-17T04:30:55.307-08:002010-02-17T04:30:55.307-08:00I also think it was a win, specially because now y...I also think it was a win, specially because now you can vary this recipe and add some other sweet-tasting vegetables like zucchini or pumkin and see how she reacts! <br />My C loves to cook! Whenever he sees me getting ready, he'll grab a stool, and climb on to it and start "helping" soo cute!. I think it's a great way for him to get familiar with food and its transformations. I have also noticed that he tends to eat everything we prepare together (vegetable or not), so even if it's a little bit slower to cook with him, I always welcome him as my "sous chef".Aubergine Kenobinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-12821585357023948932010-02-16T14:20:26.365-08:002010-02-16T14:20:26.365-08:00Oh Cloud, this one made me chuckle with familiarit...Oh Cloud, this one made me chuckle with familiarity. Sometimes I wish I had a stereotypical "wife" (i.e. someone who can execute a household plan w/out needing me too wipe their proverbial ass) instead of a husband! Though I love DH dearly, sometimes I just wonder WTF was this dude thinking? ;)<br /><br />@nej - I am salivating at those suggestions!hushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-49547132251091711612010-02-15T19:06:08.386-08:002010-02-15T19:06:08.386-08:00Yup, that's how it is over here, too. We have...Yup, that's how it is over here, too. We have a problem with the dinner schedule, and the bedtime schedule, and the breakfast schedule and the lunch and snack schedules...basically, I try not to micromanage dad and E time but then little by little everything gets pushed further and further back and before you know it, E's going to bed at 8:30...until I kind of snap and spend a week getting everything back on regular schedule and then let it slowly get away from us again so as not to spend all of my time being the enforcer. <br /><br />Have you tried making kale chips? It's super easy and E loves them - probably because they have the highly coveted "chip" in the name. Take a head of kale, wash and dry it, chop it up into small pieces, toss it with olive oil and the seasoning of your choice (sea salt is our favorite) and bake at 375 for about 15 minutes. <br /><br />And I don't know what part of the country you live in, but if you can get your hands on malanga (taro) or cassava (yuca) they make delicious fries and chips. When I lived in FL, they were everywhere and now and then I can find them at the natural food store. They're both root vegetables very similar in taste and texture to the potato, but higher in fiber and maybe better in other ways, if none other than being something other than more potatoes.nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847088250687320006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-60925774769513767362010-02-15T07:39:38.621-08:002010-02-15T07:39:38.621-08:00Hah, sounds pretty much like my house. My husband ...Hah, sounds pretty much like my house. My husband does the majority of the cooking because if I try to cook, The Kid will not leave me alone. <br /><br />We don't even attempt to eat dinner at a consistent time. Sometimes dinner is pizza or Chipotle burritos, and he picks it up on his way home with The Kid and we eat right away (around 6:30). Sometimes dinner is something quick and easy, and we eat around 7ish. Sometimes dinner is something fun/ambitious/complicated, and we eat closer to 8:00, which is problematic because The Kid's bedtime routine starts at 8:10.<br /><br />Oh, and despite occasional attempts to do so, we've NEVER been able to shop in advance and buy a week's worth of food and have dinners all planned out. Oh well.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763085299053200761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-29142214870110167042010-02-15T06:24:01.697-08:002010-02-15T06:24:01.697-08:00Ahh the joys of cooking with two.

Does she like cheese? If she does, you could say it was shredded cheese.Noren Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074810642467981444noreply@blogger.com
