I'm out of town today, but I called home to see how everyone was doing. My husband made mousaka for dinner. There are a lot of things about this dish that our kids do not like (casserole for one and sauce on top as another). When the dish was served to my daughters, they both said "I don't like it" as soon as they saw it. So my husband decided to wrap bites of the mousaka in dinosaur leaves (aka spinach) and served it to the girls that way. They ate it up. So it just goes to show once you get your kids to get a certain vegetable, you can use that as a vessel to get other food digested.
Way to go, honey! Good work.

It’s OK to play favorites
We all have our favorites…and no, I’m not talking about which kid is your favorite. I’m talking about your favorite vegetables. Your kids have their favorites, too. Make sure you play off them. If you child loves green beans, serve them (of course). But you may try to add in shredded carrots or peas. Now it is very likely your child will pick out his favorite and leave the other vegetable. This is where the marketing campaign starts. You’ll most likely need to sell the new vegetable. But you can make up a story that their favorite vegetable sometimes gets lonely in your child’s stomach and needs a friend. Tell your child that you spoke with the green beans and they said they LOVE carrots. The green beans asked you to see if the green beans and carrots can have a play date. My experience is that the biggest challenge with vegetables is getting your child to try them. Once they realize that their favorite vegetable has a friend, that may be all that is needed. Before long your child will love the “best friend” vegetable, and you’ve added another vegetable to your shopping list.

The Little Helper
My son has always asked to help cook/make dinner/set the table. I know it probably won't last, but I definitely take advantage of it now. The one thing that is very easy to have a child help with is washing the vegetables. The first time I asked my son to help wash the vegetables, we were having kale. He asked if he could eat some of it. I said sure, expecting him to take one bite and spit it out. But he ended up eating 2 or 3 stalks. Another time we were washing bok choy, and he ate a couple heads of that too. Then, of course, when his sisters see him eating the raw vegetables they want some too. On these days, my kids have their servings of vegetables before we even sit down at the table for dinner.
When your child has some hand in helping with dinner, they take pride in it. They are much more likely to eat it, also. I also find that when kids feel "forced" to eat their vegetables, it's a good idea to get them involved. Bring them to the grocery store and let them pick the vegetables. Give them choices. If all they ever choose is corn, go with that for a while, then ask them to try one new vegetable a week. Once you get home, ask them to help cook the vegetable (or ask how they would like it). Giving your child some say in the food they are eating (within reason) will let them feel in control. Then the "eat your vegetables" conversation isn't so difficult.

Textures
Textures (and ways of cooking a vegetable) make a big difference in whether your child will eat it. My son will eat potato chips, hash browns, and french fries, but he won't touch mashed potatoes. He physically gags when he puts it in his mouth.
Before we went on a trip to Florida, I baked kale chips (recipe to come later) to take along in the car. No, I don't try to torture my kids with kale chips. I had a ton of kale and I needed to make it before we left. There was no way we'd eat it all for dinner, so I made the chips. They travel very well. Cooked kale is sometimes a hit at the dinner table, but at times falls flat. It is a very strong-flavored vegetable. So I really did expect that I would be the one that ate the kale chips. But in the middle of the road trip one of my daughters was hungry and we didn't have too many other items left in the car. So I gave her the gallon ziplock bag filled with kale chips. I turned back around to watch the road and forgot that she had the bag. About 30 minutes later I looked back and my daughter had eaten more than half the bag. She had little green kale flakes all over her. She almost cried when I took the bag away from her.
So the point of this is to try different ways of preparing the vegetable if your child doesn't like it one way. Try cooking, sauteing, roasting, grilling, steaming, baking, blanching, dehydrating, pureeing (this won't go over in our house, but maybe yours) or just plain raw.

To Spice or Not to Spice...
I grew up in a family where salt and pepper were the spices. Sometimes we'd get crazy and have garlic powder. We didn't put a lot of spice in our food and that's how I liked it (and still do from time to time). Now my husband on the other hand puts spices in everything. He has his fire salt, his hot sauce, his creole seasoning. Everything he eats has some type of spice on it. He also loves things that are spicy hot. Lots of jalapenos.
Well, pretty much every baby food recipe book I read said not to put spices in the baby's food. So I didn't. Most of the food was pretty bland and I wouldn't even eat it. Sometimes the kids wouldn't eat it. Then as the kids got older they liked eating what was on our plates (which had the spices since my husband does a lot of the cooking). They loved it.
Once we were at a Mexican restaurant and of course the kids were eating the chips. The girls were about 18 months old. They insisted that we let them dip their chips in the salsa (just like we were doing). I was hesitant because the salsa was pretty spicy for me. But after much begging, crying and causing a scene. I finally said, "Fine. Let them try it. We've got milk to cool them down afterwards." To my surprise the girls loved it and continued dipping their chips in the salsa. They have obviously inherited my husband's taste buds.
So now when I cook vegetables I make them the way I like them or the way my husband likes them. And the kids tend to like them much better than the plain bland ones I used to cook.
Your children most likely have the same tastes as you or your spouse. If you like garlic, it is very possible that your kids will too. So spice it up a bit. Get out the ginger, garlic, cumin, tamarind, sage, thyme, basil, etc. This is also easier in that you don't have to prepare a bland vegetable for your kids and a flavorful one for yourself.

A vegetable by any other name...
OK. So now you've bought organic, local, seasonal vegetables to serve. You've cooked them (I'll post some recipes later), but your kids still won't eat them! Uggghhh! Does anyone else get extremely frustrated when you cook a delicious, healthy meal and your kids take one bite and say they are full? That is one of my biggest pet peeves. More on that later with troubleshooting.
So what do you do? My next few entries will be sharing my techniques that I've used with my children. Many of them I have shared with friends who have tried them on their children. So these are tried and true methods.
Here's my favorite and tends to work really well:
Make up a story around the vegetable. If you've read my first entry in the blog (or seen the title, "Dinosaur Leaves," you'll understand where I'm coming from). Kids have wonderful imaginations. If you make believe the vegetables are something else, they love it. For instance, any kind of leafy greens are dinosaur leaves. My son loves dinosaurs and we made up a story that this is what the dinosaurs ate. Since he loves to pretend to be a dinosaur, he loves to eat the "dinosaur leaves."
Now I warn you, sometimes it doesn't work as well as you'd like. One night my husband made a delicious spinach soup, but it was green and creamy. Our kids have a hard time with soups. There is something about the consistency that they don't like. So I knew it was a long shot that they would eat it, but I thought I'd try. So I told them that the soup was monster boogers. Of course, that made them all smile and groan. But they were all curious of how it would taste. I think my son maybe had three bites and my daughters one each. But had I not made that up, the kids would have automatically said "I don't like this" and not even tried it. Later on I'll talk about having your kids try a vegetable 10 times before you can determine that they really don't like it. So I have one down for spinach soup. Nine more to go.
Other foods and stories that I've made up:
1. Beets - If you have girls (or boys that like lipstick), this is a great game. During the spring and fall we get a ton of beets in our veggie share. I love them and my husband hates them. But I can't eat them all, so I recruit my little ones to help. Because they are so sweet and very nutritious, I wanted to encourage my kids to eat them. I told my daughters that the can use the beets as lipstick. They jumped on this and we had red beet kisses all dinner long. My son joined in also.
2. Romaine leaves - Sometimes I don't have enough time to do a warm vegetable at dinner, so I'll serve lettuce. Rather than chop it up as a salad, I keep the romaine leaves whole and serve them as bunny ears. I usually throw in a carrot, too. This works really well around Easter.
3. Broccoli can be dinosaur trees.
4. Brussels Sprouts are dinosaur cabbages.
5. Shredded carrots are hay stacks or treasure hunt covers.
6. Asparagus are tiny swords
7. Pea pods are cannons with little cannon balls in them - make sure no one loses an eye with this one.
After using this technique for a while, you'll notice that you may not need to "name" the vegetable any more. My kids are so used to eating broccoli and spinach that I don't need to play a game to get them to eat these. They love them and will eat them un-coerced. This also proves my theory that kids will develop the taste for vegetables, like them, and choose to eat them (rather than being forced).

Organic or Conventional?
I'm always looking for the bargain. When I go to the grocery store it is physically painful to pay more for a vegetable that looks the same (mostly) as its conventional counterpart. What I have to remind myself over and over is that I'm paying to make sure my kids are not ingesting pesticide residue. Also, by buying organic it supports the small farm (usually local farm) and helps the environment.
Can I taste a difference in the vegetables? Sometimes yes. We bought some organic celery and it was the best celery I'd ever had. It was almost sweet. It wasn't too stringy. I cut the whole bunch up and put it on the table before dinner. Between me and the kids we ate the whole thing. There was no dip, just plain sweet organic celery. I have never done that with conventional celery. I usually will only eat it in a salad, cooked in a recipe or with peanut butter on it.
Now I understand that a lot of you are just as frugal as I am. So here's a list of the vegetables that should be bought organic and those that you can go conventional:
What should be bought organic?
Celery
Sweet bell peppers
Potatoes
Spinach
Kale
Lettuce
Carrots
What doesn’t need to be organic?
Asparagus
Avocados
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Sweet corn
Onions
Sweet peas
Eggplant
Cabbage
Sweet potatoes
Also, before you buy fruit check out what should be bought organic (strawberries and grapes on the list). Just google "buying organic fruit."

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Before my son was born, if we had a vegetable in the house it was rare. If it was fresh, it was even more rare. So when my son was born, I decided we needed to start eating more vegetables. My philosophy is you can't make your kids eat vegetables if you aren't eating them yourself. Rather than go to the vegetable stand and buy the same old vegetables every week, we decided to buy a share in an organic farm. Of course, we took baby steps and split the share with another couple.
How it works: you buy a share in the farm. What that means is you get a box every week with your share of the harvest. The CSA that we belong to drops the boxes at different sites throughout Chicago. There are many convenient places to pick them up at. Or you can usually go to the farm to pick up your box. You generally know what vegetables you'll be getting (based on the season and the farm's predictions). If the farm does well, you have an overflowing box. If there is a drought or blight, you may not get as many vegetables. Even in the "lean years," we've gotten more than enough vegetables.
That first year we struggled to eat all of our veggies. I didn't even know what the kale was. Most of the greens went in the trash. I had never heard of or seen kohlrabi or sunchokes (I still have a problem figuring out these vegetables). But after getting a cookbook to help figure out how to cook some of the veggies, we started eating more and more. By the fourth year we were eating all of our half of the share. So last year (the fifth year) we got a full share and did a pretty good job of eating all the veggies.
The pros of getting a CSA:
1. No need to go to the store for your vegetables. Just pick up your box on Saturday. Saving 15-20 minutes every week not wandering the vegetable stand trying to determine what vegetables to buy is definitely worth it.
2. Get a variety of vegetables that you may not have otherwise tried. As an example, kale and brussel sprouts are now my favorite vegetables. But I would never have bought either of these in the store.
3. You are supporting your local economy.
4. Your vegetables are fresh and seasonal.
5. You can visit the farm to see the vegetables growing. Our CSA has two open houses and our kids can see where their vegetables come from.
6. The cost is about the same, maybe a little more than going to the grocery store. But see #1 above. The time saved definitely makes up the difference.
Our CSA is Angelic Organics (www.angelicorganics.com), which still had some shares available if you are interested.

Step 1
Step 1 in the words of Special Agent Oso (I love that cute cuddly teddy bear)
Buy vegetables that taste good.
Have you ever had a tomato out of a garden in the middle of the summer? And a tomato from the grocery store in the middle of winter? BIG DIFFERENCE! And that difference is season and travel time. Those grocery store tomatoes in the middle of winter have traveled a very very long time to reach you (unless you live in a warm climate). The tomato has been breed to travel long distances without damage. This need to have tomatoes in the winter has come at a cost...taste. I think the tomato is the most obvious example of my point. But it applies to almost all vegetables (ok, I know a tomato is not a vegetable, but work with me on this).
After you begin to buy your vegetables in season, you'll be able to taste the difference. Go to the farmer's market. Buy the vegetables that are local. On top of getting better taste, you'll also be supporting your local economy.
Oh believe me, there are many times I want asparagus in the fall when I see it in the grocery store (especially when it is on sale). But I need to remind myself that it won't taste like the spring time asparagus. So this time of year, I buy asparagus every time I go to the grocery store. By the time the season has past, I'll have had my fill of asparagus and I'll be ready to move on to the next season - zucchini (zucchini bread, grilled zucchini, zucchini crumble (my husband's favorite dessert)).
One of the easiest ways to get local and eat seasonally is to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)...check out the next blog entry for information on CSA.

Welcome to Dinosaur Leaves
You may be saying, "What the heck are dinosaur leaves!" Well let me tell you...While trying to get my 3 year old son to eat spinach, I made up that they were leaves that the dinosaurs used to eat. Once I explained that, he couldn't get enough of them. Then, he had a friend over and she wasn't interested in any kind of leafy green. When my son explained that they were dinosaur leaves, she ate three helpings of the leaves.
So I started thinking that this is a much easier and better method for coaxing my son (and later my daughters) to eat their vegetables. On this blog I'll be sharing my tips and techniques for making "Eat Your Vegetables" fun for kids. The tips and techniques have been tested and proven on my kids and friends kids. Now it's your chance to try them out.
