On the Plate..

This morning we went to the grocery store and the cashier was amazed by the vegetables that my children would eat. My kids love brussel sprouts, eggplant, salads and bok choy. The cashier was shocked when I said that Dragon asked to try leeks today. Squirrel brought me the eggplant and Tracker's favorite veggie is brussel sprouts.

This got me thinking what they won't eat. Squirrel does not like raw onions, cooked mushrooms or eggs. Tracker does not like lettuce on his sandwiches and Dragon does not like cooked onions or cooked mushrooms. He is not a huge fan of black beans, but loves the canned beans on salads and he loves fresh spinach on salads & sandwiches instead of lettuce.

Now I have a question for you... what will your children not eat and what veggies do they love?

How's this for Math?

Squirrel and I made this for math yesterday. I must say that it was delicious. I let her do most of the work.
