Food Friday: Sneaking In Veggies

My oldest son, Liam (5), hates vegetables. He once tried to convince his Pediatrician that he was allergic to vegetables.
Doctor laughed and said, "You like fruit, right?"
Liam agreed.
Doctor said, "Well, fruits and vegetables are cousins."
Liam's ears perked up..."I have cousins and I like them!"
Doctor said, "So you should like vegetables!"

That worked for about a week. And then I came across a coupon for Barilla pasta. It wasn't just "regular" pasta but it had a whole serving of vegetables in each serving. Not sure how they do it, but they include carrots and squash IN the pasta.


And it was test time. I made one of our favorite meals (Parmesan/Italian dressing chicken) with buttered noodles. And Liam LOVED them. He begged for more noodles. And the next day, he ate them as a leftover for lunch.

Test complete. Win. So if you've got a picky vegetable eater, try these...just don't let them see the box.
