Food refusal
Friday, 4th March 2011

For some unknown reasons, young kids, including my grandchild, abhor vegetables. 

To entice her, I would arrange a mixture of vegetables into a simple picture on her plate.  One of her favourite is "Smiley". 

To make Smiley, spread a portion of pasta, evenly on a dinner plate.  A  sausage can be used for his iconic smile. 2 small mounds of buttered spinach  makes his eyes.  Use a small steamed carrot for his nose.

Ta dah,  a picture of Smiley is done.

Try serving this to your young grand children. 

Watch them wolfing down this well balanced meal without fuss.
