A COOKING DIARY

October 1st - The boys cOOK DINNER - RATATOUILLE

Your picky eater will be more open to adding a new vegetable to their repertoire if you take them to the food market. Our human bodies are designed to look at beautiful, colorful vegetables and say, "Yum! Put that in my body! That looks like it's good for me!"

 

Take them with you to your local farmer's market or the produce section of your grocery store, and ask them to choose one new vegetable per week for one month. You'll see results.
