Daddy giving Cohen some peas and carrots!
Cohen squishing some saucy raviolis in between his fingers...nice!
"Yes, I've covered myself in sauce...whatcha gonna do about it?!"
"Pink" pancakes - made with beet puree'...
...aaaaand, this is where those ended up! (Gross!)
Brownies with spinach and carrot puree'...(there should be another picture of the garbage bin below this one, because these were gross, too!)
Banana bread with cauliflower puree'. Finally a small victory!
As you can see above, we're trying to encourage Cohen to try new things!! He loves ravioli, but typically only likes it without any sauce on it, however that night, the sauce wasn't too bad - that was until he rubbed it into his eyes and to the bathtub he went! I have a cookbook called Deceptively Delicious and the gist of it is to incorporate vegetable purees into "every day" foods/meals to be sneaky about what you give your kids - that way they're getting the nutrition inside something delicious. Needless to say, pink pancakes (with beets) were disgusting - I'd never make Cohen eat them. The brownies with spinach and carrots, eh, they were okay, but the longer they sat, the less appealing they became. The banana bread with the cauliflower puree was a small success - Cohen will eat it with a little bit of strawberry jam on it, but not an entire piece. We celebrate small victories in our house - and that one is definitely one to celebrate! :)
