Each child has a cooking day. They get to pick what we make from recipes I have chosen. Usually it is something we have not tried yet. I find that if they have helped prepare the dish they will eat it. Even if there is something in there they don’t like.

They are so full of vitamin C and so expensive to waste. So I have started making red pepper puree and once the ketchup is 1/2 empty I mix it w/ a puree. My kids LOVE it! My youngest eats it plain on tortilla chips. One veggie I just can’t seem to get my kids to try, eat, or like (the youngest hears the protest of the older two and won’t even try) is red bell peppers.
