MONDAY: Fruits and Vegetables
The vehicles that help you add vegetables to your kids diet I call the 5 S’s. Soups, Salads, Stir-Fry, sandwiches, and smoothies. Tonight, I chose Soup.
I literally took all the vegetables left in my fridge, chopped them and made into soup. I used green onions, carrots, onion, garlic, potatoes, some yellow squash I puree’d and froze last summer, and celery. Then with a some cooked chicken, cheese, and a packet of ranch dressing, (to make it appetizing for my little guys) it turned out great. Hereis the recipe.
The two older kids thought it was delicious. They ate everything I served up to them. My Ketchup boy (who turned 6 on Friday) ate only 6 bites so he could have leftover Ice cream from his birthday.
My secret vegetable tip of the day is to shred rather than chop. Shredding the carrots in this soup recipe make it hard for the kids to pull it out. The texture is also more preferable to me. I don’t care for mushy, chopped carrots, but shredded carrots I’ll gobble up!
