![]() ![]() With that said, my four year old willingly jumped on the band wagon and put down her fork in agreement. The real kicker is that she has heavy influence over my four year old, so when I prepared the mac and cheese and put it on the table, to my delight, my four year old took a bite and said “mmmm, yummy.” My eight year old looked at her suspiciously and took a bite herself, and first said “mmm,” to my surprise, then the “I don’t know, I don’t think I like this” followed. She is my beige eater and is much less open to trying new foods. Her preferred meal is plain buttered pasta with buttered bread and milk. My eight year old, eats like she is training for a marathon. Although she likes Pad Thai and salad, she will clean up the entire playroom for a bowl of ice cream from Mora, the popular decadent ice cream shop in Bainbridge Island, where we live. My four year old is more open to a variety of flavors, but has her favorites and those favorites look a lot like fast food and sweets. ![]() Now, I must pause to say that my children are typical kid eaters. The first recipe I tried was the famous mac and cheese, Macaroni and Cheese 1, to quote the book exactly. My husband bought me Jessica Seinfeld’s (Jerry’s wife) new book Deceptively Delicious for Christmas.The book is attractive and well put together and has many clever ideas about how to sneak healthy food into popular kid’s meals.Most commonly, it uses the concept of pureed vegetable or fruits mixed into batters or toppings.For example, butternut squash puree is mixed into the ever popular kid’s meal, macaroni and cheese.Īfter receiving the book, I parked myself on the couch and read through it tagging pages with recipes I thought I could trick my kids into eating.With a half dozen chosen, I later headed to the store and found it quite easy to pick up a few more carrots, squash, and zucchini, nothing too weird or out of the ordinary.
