Dinnertime can be such an adventure with our three little boys. They are pretty good sports about trying new things, but when I brought this one to the table, Little Boy #2 quickly declared,
“MOM, I do NOT like HOT FRUIT!”
Oh boy… “But seeeeeriously little man, that is the best part of this whole meal! Pinky promise!”
He puts on his mad/determined face. Nope. No way. He’s not going to eat it.
“Sorry bud, no treat then.”
“Okay, I’ll try one bite.”
He takes one bite, and the juice runs down his chin.
Then his eyes get big, and his face breaks into a huge smile.
THE END. (pinky promise you’ll love it too)

So cute! When mine were younger, every time I served steak, Boy #3 would say “Mom, I don’t like pink meat”. Pink meat, hmmm. That memory came rushing back to me when I read this post. This is exactly how we create healthy and adventurous eaters – by throwing all kinds of things at them while they are young.
These kabobs are just beautiful!
Julie says
Haha! Pink meat! Funny how kids perceive things. And I agree wholeheartedly with how you adventurous eaters! Thanks Valerie.
