Overall, Carson is a pretty decent eater. Sure, he’d assume to live off of Goldfish, yogurt, and Flintstones gummy vitamins, but what kid wouldn’t? The only major complaint I have about his diet is the fact that he won’t touch a single vegetable. Not one. Recently, he’s even been refusing his sweet potato fries. Instead of fretting over his missing food group, I have changed tactics. This summer, I checked Jessica Seinfeld’s book Deceptively Delicious out from the library and was inspired. She’s all about sneaking veggies and fruits in ordinary meals, and after trying a few of her tricks this week, I’m hooked. Not only did I successfully incorporate pureed carrots into Carson’s mac and cheese and spaghetti this week, but he loved them! Much to Matt’s chagrin, I have also introduced our unassuming son to the world of Morningstar veggie burgers, and he devoured an entire burger for lunch today (and asked for more). Next up, brownies laced with spinach… yummo! š
