Ants On A Log
This is one of the simplest recipes ever and attractive at the same time. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to a stick of celery, and top with raisins.
Potato Face
Your work here is only to bake a potato or a sweet potato. Let your child decorate it with their favorite vegetables and make a face on it. Make lips with cherry tomatoes, eyes with olives, earrings out of broccoli, and hair can be done with shredded cheese.
Veggy Caterpillars
Use different kinds of colorful veggies- cucumber, squash, bell peppers, and zucchini. Put them in a row to make them appear as a caterpillar. Adding purple beets and cherry tomato hunks gives a rainbow effect to your caterpillar.
Veggie Quesadillas
Take a tortilla and pile half of it with bell peppers, carrots, shredded cheese, and cooked black beans. Pan fry each side until they are crusty and brown.
Make Your Child Eat Vegetables
It is observed in surveys many times that whatever activity we perform for several days, our brain automatically increases our interest in that particular activity. Build your child’s interest in vegetables by involving them in all the steps involved with their consumption. Have them help you pick them out at the store, and involve them in cleaning and cooking them.
Do not try to make them eat vegetables in raw form. Shred or dice them into small pieces and add them to your child’s favorite cuisine. This way, your child won’t even notice them.
Also, change your food’s look. Present the veggies in such a way that your child doesn’t notice how healthy his meal truly is and just can’t control himself.
