10 Ways To Get Your Kids To Eat More Vegetables

Some good ideas, but other atrocious ones. Cover them in cheese? Are you kidding? What's the point of that. If you cook fresh vegetables all the time, kids just eat them, especially if you do it from day one. My kids' favorite dishes - broccoli soup, roasted red pepper soup, scrambled eggs with roasted aspargus, and while technically not a vegetable, tomatoes eaten like an apple. The problem kids have with vegetables is that they come to them flavorless (not bought fresh) and over cooked. I HATED peas as a kid because my mom cooked the frozen ones until they were grey. Grab a fresh snap pea and watch your kids and you eat them like candy.
