My youngest son is an extremely picky eater. Thankfully, his older brother recently let him in on the wonders of the quesadilla, and this has opened up a whole new world of veggie-sneaking options for me. I mean, you can only sneak so many things into a bowl of oatmeal, but a quesadilla, now that's a different story. Today it was sweet potatoes. Looks like cheese, isn't crunchy (heaven forbid I should serve him anything crunchy!) and tastes wonderful. Why anybody would need to be sneaked sweet potatoes is beyond me ...I also had big plans for the bag of prunes I bought today, and spent a while scheming on what I could sneak them into. (A lifetime of not eating vegetables can cause a baby to need some prunes in his life, if you know what I mean.) As I was deciding between prune muffins or prune oatmeal, Titus walked up, popped one in his mouth, loved it, and asked for more. That was easy! If any of you bloggy friends have more suggestions on how to get veggies into this boy, let me know! (I have THE BOOK already ... and it's helpful for kids who eat the regular things like cheese and casserole, noodles, etc. but not for the kid who will only eat berries and crackers and would rather starve than take a bite of something new. Hm.) I am actually contemplating making Kale Chips, ala The Smitten Kitchen. Who knows - maybe it will work!
