Just recently I’ve come across a number of blog posts and what-nots on how to get your picky eaters (kids) to eat their fruit and veggies.
They’ve all got all kinds of helpful tips and things to try, ways to sneak it all in to other yummy foods and everything a mom would need to get their kids eating all the healthy goodness from fruits and veggies.
Which is all good.
But tell me this….
Where are the blog posts for mom’s like me; How to keep your kids from eating all the (as in before anyone else can get any) fruits and veggies?
I know that is a weird request but honestly, I can’t keep up with the consumption of fruits and veggies in this house. Seriously the minute a 2 pound bag of grapes hit the fridge they are gone. When I bring home a bag of apples my kids won’t stop asking for them until there is no more to ask for. For a quick snack they choose carrots. They sneak in the kitchen and steal bananas. I mean I have to actually think of ways to hide it so they don’t eat it all, and it doesn’t just stop there. In cooked dishes they will pick out the carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower and going back for more before you can even sit down and start eating. At restaurants they choose the steamed veggies over french fries every time and sometimes they would rather just order a big salad. My son consumes whole cartons of cherry tomatoes when I buy them. My girls love grilled onions and peppers.
So where is my blog post? I need to know how to keep up with it, and more importantly, how to AFFORD it!!
