My DD does great with them, but nothing wrong with lots of veggies! kiddosc on "How do you feel about hiding vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-hiding-vegetables#post-1350276 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:52:44 +0000 kiddosc 1350276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E used to eat his veggies without a problem, but has been refusing them lately. I still offer them in their original form and try to get him interested, but I sneak them in to other dishes as well so that he is getting his daily servings. I think sneaking them is a helpful tool for getting kids to eat a balanced diet. yellowbird on "How do you feel about hiding vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-hiding-vegetables#post-1350273 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:52:10 +0000 yellowbird 1350273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I add veggies to everything because my LO won't eat the plain version. I don't feel bad about it at all! lovehoneybee on "How do you feel about hiding vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-hiding-vegetables#post-1350266 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:51:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 1350266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't want to sneak veggies in, but overall I want us to be healthier. So I serve lots of veggies but also "hide" them in different foods. I like zucchini and banana bread, applesauce and oatmeal muffins, spinach in turkey meatballs, and butternut squash pasta sauce. jedeve on "How do you feel about hiding vegetables?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-hiding-vegetables#post-1350255 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:48:06 +0000 jedeve 1350255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So when I first heard about cookbooks for how to hide vegetables in your kids' food, I thought it was a terrible idea. You shouldn't teach kids vegetables are bad! Encourage them to eat their vegetables through talking about colors, shapes, having them cook with you! Then I realized how I love all those pinterest recipes where you are swapping out fruits and veggies for high calorie ingredients. Black bean brownies! Zucchini and greek yogurt muffins! Applesauce oatmeal cake! Cauliflower mac n cheese! I don't want to be "sneaking" veggies in, I suppose. But I don't mind adding them to foods! What do you think? Good or bad? Any favorite hidden veggie recipes?
