If I see another sneaky chef book I might scream.  A sneaky chef book is one of the new crop of recipe books in which you hide yummy delicious greens and beta-carotenes by a method of blending pureeing and other various schemes so that your kids don’t even know they have just fulfilled their Vitamin A requirements all while eating a couple of chewy brownies.

I’ll admit I am old school.  I am of the “Eat your vegetables because I told you so school”.  I grew up in an era when my parents never ever felt like they had to convince me to do what was right.  They told me to do what was right and I did it. 

And then I spit out the vegetables into a napkin when they weren’t looking. 

Which brings me to my point. 

Making your child eat vegetables by sheer force doesn’t work and neither does sneaking veggies in.  How can they learn to like them if they don’t even know they are eating them?  So what’s the answer?

Anyone?  Anyone?
