Thanks for comments Matt. Yes, getting kids to be part of the cooking process is great advice – a future post I think!

Really like the advice about getting the kids to be part of the cooking process. They feel like it’s more of a choice when they contribute. Sometimes “hiding” things like veggies in a recipe gets kids used to the taste without realizing they are eating it.

Hi Hilary – yes, smoothies are fantastic – my boys have them regularly – I may add that to my post! Thanks

Hi Jan,
Interesting read, and so very true. I do have to encourage my children to eat fruit. I try to preempt their hunger, by chopping up some fresh fruit, and having it readily available on the table.
My mum always baked cakes from scratch, and really as you continue to demonstrate , it doesn’t take much time, and that way, you know exactly what they’re eating.
Another trick of mine is smoothies, as I can add greens such as spinach, without much resistance! It might look green, but the children hardly notice the taste.
