Many parents scour the internet searching for ideas and recipes with real foods to help them incorporate veggies into their meals for their picky eater kids. One need look no further than this post for some excellent ideas for getting kids to eat their veggies.
"One of my favorite whole food recipes I shared in the post was the zucchini banana bread. My mother made this recipe many times growing up. Baking this bread was a way for us to work together and use our garden-fresh veggies," says Erin nostalgically. "My favorite idea for the veggies list was adding a little cheese or some brown sugar to make them tastier. Butternut squash just isn't as good without a dash of brown sugar!"
Referring to the Super Healthy Kids team, Eat Real Stay Sane co-owner Erin Smith said, "We're excited to form this partnership with Super Healthy Kids. They are clearly one of the most authoritative and well-respected blogs on this topic."
Mrs. Smith commented, "We hope that together we can teach more parents that feeding their children nutrient-dense real foods doesn't have to be a chore." Summing the experience up Erin said, "We had a lot of fun coming up with this list of healthy meals and tasty snacks to help kids enjoy their veggies."
One of the most important things for parents to remember is that sometimes it takes several exposures to a new food before kids will eat it. Parents should not feel put out when their kids don't like the veggies that were prepared for them and should keep trying different ways to serve them.
With these tips, the Eat Real Stay Sane blog aspires to teach parents interesting and delicious ways to present vegetables to their children. This blog post will become a parents' go to list for getting ideas for serving veggies for kids and healthier eating in general.
