All good mommies make their children eat their veggies, right? Well- here's what happened tonight: (Background is that Owen basically eats 5% fruit, 25% meat, 25% carbs, 10% milk and the remainder is not worth counting as nutritionally sound. )
Laurel came home from Brownies with a bucket full of cookies and Owen really wanted one. So I told him if he at least tried each item that we had for dinner, he could have one. The pork did not go down well but he got it down. Next, the squash. He gagged, made gross sounds, and created all sorts of drama. I said, "Owen- Just chew it, swallow it and wash it down with a drink." He chewed, he swallowed, he threw-up everything he had eaten in the past two hours- right at the dinner table. GROSS!

Oh no! Here's a trick I read about...puree broccoli and put it in banana bread...or incorporate ground flaxseed (high in Omega-3s) into baked goods, cereals, oatmeal, on top of yogurt etc. I think you are going to have to be sneaky about it...at least you have a story to tell over and over again for years to come!
