This is a great post! Although I’m not picky and neither is my toddler (she loves her tofu and kale) this post is really getting to the heart of what it means to teach kids healthy habits in a wholistic way. I’m a big fan of not pushing healthy habits as a list of ‘shoulds,’ but rather just making them a natural part of a rich life. Kids (and adults too) will feel so good when they make healthy decisions. It’s my goal that my kids will want to make such decisions because they love how they feel! Thank you for this post. I appreciated it ☺️
I love this and can definitely say your recipes are delicious!! I don’t have a picky eater, but I used to be fairly picky as a child and there are still plenty of foods I just don’t like (green peppers 🤮). But my daughter tries pretty much everything. She eats basil leaves and uncooked collard greens as a snack she gets while we are in the garden. She truly loves eating them and then tries to get me to try them. She will say “try them Mama, they are good.” 😂 I can’t get myself to do that. But we’ve never made a big deal of eating veggies or fruits or different cuisines. It’s just what we serve. I doubt it made a huge difference as I think my daughter is just a more adventurous eater, but if there is something she just says I don’t like that without trying it we will make her take at least one bite before she can say she doesn’t like it. A friend of mine said that growing up, her parents never let her order off the childrens menu. It inspired me and I try to do the same when we eat out.
This is so good! The chicken dish from earlier this year - change your life sheet pan- my kids helped with it all and they ate it all. It was so fun. They actually ask for me to cook certain veggies because they want to help.
I love the idea- one veggie a year. I’m often too lofty like one a month and that’s just not realistic. Great tips. We live on snacking/ charcuterie boards 🫣
