Arizona Midday

Hello Everyone!

I am very excited to be on Arizona Midday today. I will be talking about getting more veggies into your kids diet.

I am all for just putting the veggies on your kids plate and not giving them the option of eating/not eating what I cooked for them. I believe that if you always give your kids healthy food- there will be no fighting or picky eaters! I only make one meal for my family and if my son decides he does not want to eat what I make him, that is fine. I do not make another meal. He just does not get to eat anything else until I make his next meal. Try this with your kids. I guarantee that they will not skip too many meals...hunger will set in and they will be grateful for any food you put in front of them and eat it up!

However, if you are only now giving healthy foods to your family and making a big switch, it could be hard to go from chicken nuggets and fries to grilled chicken and broccoli. SO- that is when I think that "hiding" healthy foods could be useful. But I do not think anyone should go through the effort of making separate meals for every family member. Hopefully, you can just incorporate some healthy options into the menu and not make more work for yourself!! (Like any Mom or Dad has time to make 4 different meals!?!)

Here are some great sites to help you with healthy food recipes:

Need some ideas...

Next week, I am going to be on Arizona Midday. The topic for the segment is "hiding nutritious foods" and "Getting your kids to eat healthy foods".

Now, I much prefer to just give your kids healthy food and not hide it. I think if you always only offer healthy choices, your kids will naturally love them and you won't need to hide anything. BUT I can imagine that there are lots of parents who are now being way more health conscious and making the switch for their families and need help getting their kids to make the switch.

Or maybe, you really do have a child who is picky and doesn't eat much to begin with...

So- I am needing at least 3 different recipes/ideas for how to get healthy foods into your kids meals without them just staring at a plate of brussel sprouts and lima beans.

What are some of your ideas?? Leave me a comment, and I will share your ideas LIVE on Arizona Midday next week!!
