Great contest and an issue that I deal with daily. I can't wait to try Little Blends.
Here's my posting: A Carnivore's Mom's Dilemma:
http://www.googoobuybuy.com/2009/09/carnivores-moms-dilemma.html
Summary:
I had such high hopes that my son, Jackson, would be a "good eater."
When he was ready for "real" food, I fed him apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, beans and other good-for-you fruits and veggies. And Jackson devoured them. But somewhere along the say, our little monkey went cold turkey on fruits and vegetables. Needless to say, I fret a lot that my meat-loving kid is getting enough fruits and vegetables and essential nutrients in his diet. That said, I try not to beat myself up about it. I can't force feed him lettuce! But I have discovered some sneaky ways to make sure he gets the essential fruits and veggies he needs to be healthy and strong.

We're pretty lucky.....Ethan's not really too picky of an eater. The main thing is that he needs to see us eating it as well.

I don't have a blog page but my tricks were and still are: add basil, spinach and grated carrots to spaghetti sauce. My youngest will eat all veggies except mushrooms and salad with dressing. She has minimal fruit choices: apples, grapes and watermelon.
My mom would make a deli plate with decorative toothpicks for my picky sister's appetitie - it works sometimes here too!
Chocolate chip banana bread with extra wheat germ is good too!
Thanks for all the tips!
Announce yourself!
