It is amazing how this works. If my child sees me eating it, they know it is good.<br /><br />kathrynbaby2004@yahoo.comKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731230053431217175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-54706360681552133362010-07-01T10:07:32.373-04:002010-07-01T10:07:32.373-04:00The easiest tip is to always offer nutritious food...The easiest tip is to always offer nutritious food even if you think there is no way they will eat it.

Love your blog! I do not have a recipe ...Hey Kelly! Love your blog! I do not have a recipe to share; however, I can share some simple things that I do. 1. I have switched to all whole grains. 2. I strongly encourage Nora to eat her veggies or her fruit if she wants that popsicle later or some other treat she might get that day and even the popsicles I buy are not too bad (Edy's whole fruit.)or she loves bread and sometimes I won't even put it on the table until she eats her fresh veggies. 3. I think the most important thing parents can do is eat plenty of healthy foods themselves. Eventually the kids will catch on if they see the parents eating and enjoying their fruits and veggies. My biggest problem with making sure she eats well is all the outside influences!!Leslie Bohanonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-41224517462336412282010-06-29T22:24:50.164-04:002010-06-29T22:24:50.164-04:00We've made some headway in trying new things w...We've made some headway in trying new things with having the girls take "no thank you bites." No matter what we're having they have to try at least one bite of it. And they have to try it every time we have it (hoping they learn to like it.) If it's something they don't love but tolerate, like asparagus, I give them 3 or 4 pieces. They have to eat it. If they don't, they don't get anything else for dinner (once they've finished what is on their plate that they do like) and that's also their snack later. I'm pretty sure they won't starve to death and I don't do separate dinner. So far, they've both started eating some new things, with the biggest change being that Mackenzie will now eat meat (chicken, beef) when before she refused it.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131026086866748205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-10034614977900094022010-06-23T22:39:39.319-04:002010-06-23T22:39:39.319-04:00I just found this blog!

He is much more likely to try new things if he helps me cook them. He is also a big part of shopping with me as well. As far as good recipes...well I have those all on my blog. <br /><br />Rebekah @ www.kidsdoeathealthy.blogspot.comRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516696382773828462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-60059680524767512152010-06-22T21:49:23.994-04:002010-06-22T21:49:23.994-04:00Yay Kelly!

Stock the freezer full of the steam fresh veggies and some frozen grilled chicken breasts. Then when you have a BUSY morning and can't seem to get it all done...just grab a bag and a piece of chicken to pop in the microwave and give a splash of hot sauce!!

An easy healthy recipe that my kids LOVE is grilled salmon: <br />farm raised or atlantic salmon, marinated in 1 cup white wine, lemon juice (1/2 cup or so), brown sugar (1/4 cup or so), and soy sauce. Grill on cedar board with seafood grilling spice or rub. Such a healthy meal, hope the kids love it as much as mine!Sandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-7208159156211396232010-06-17T10:50:40.755-04:002010-06-17T10:50:40.755-04:00Kelly, I love your blog and have referre quite a f...Kelly, I love your blog and have referre quite a few people to it! One thing I've done recently with Bryce is have him try something he doesn't like (or a new thing) while eating a bite of something he does like. For instance he is in a don't-like-pineapple kick so I had him try a bite of pineapple with a bite of banana and he loved it! :o) My blog is private, so you won't be able to contact me through there.

He also likes to chew mint to make his breath fresh. He does that several times a day!

A big way to get him interested in healthy food is to use fun cookie cutters to cut his food into cute shapes... He just can't resist the cuteness of a pooh bear shaped piece of cheese or a dino shaped sandwich :)Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433893011201960377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-76345577265600146752010-06-15T09:57:49.560-04:002010-06-15T09:57:49.560-04:00Each of my girls got their own garden this year. ...Each of my girls got their own garden this year. They got to choose what to plant. I can't wait for them to start harvesting and cooking their own produce! <br />They are also involved in raising our chickens. They help feed, take kitchen scraps out, will eventually be responsible for collecting eggs. And (*GULP*) are looking forward to butchering day. :-/BBV Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194860898869487663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870680534874914825.post-82240385066667153392010-06-15T09:46:42.915-04:002010-06-15T09:46:42.915-04:00Kelly this so awesome!

Its been so hard trying to get him to eat veggies but his occupational therapist found this awesome veggie crunchers that only have 2 extra ingredients. They are dehydrated pieces of green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, and a couple other ones and Connor loves them! So far the only place I know that has them is Costco.anemtchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399425666441642998noreply@blogger.com
