Veg Out

I'm not one for hiding vegetables into kids foods. I figured with Nico that I'd be better off introducing him straight on to veggies and so far we've been lucky. I do make "kid friendly" dishes now and then and add veggies into the dish. I wanted to share my 5 favorite veggie boosts for the most kid friendly plates.I'd love to hear what you green up!

1. I always add raw spinach to our fruit smoothies.
2. I cook raw spinach directly into our scrambled eggs. The more the better.
3. I steam and finely mince broccoli onto pizza. Nico doesn't know that pizza is not green!
4. I add spinach or kale into grilled cheese sandwiches.
5. I add alot of frozen peas to mac and cheese.

Bonus round: I wanted Nico to eat a bowl of tomato bisque. He's still not too experienced with soups, it's a bit messy. I popped some Newman's Own plain popcorn (no salt or butter) and put a few of them on the soup like croutons. We played " go fish". He had a good time focusing on his spoon skills. He finished a whole bowl and asked for seconds. I saved the popcorn for snacks the following day.
