I small diced red peppers and sprinkled them on pineapple cubes. Told them it was a candy topping and they asked for more,.. 4 kids went through 1/3 a red pepper!!!! (dont like vegatable my hootie!). You just have to present it right!

veggies
HA HA! Funny, and I agree, if you toss them in they will eat them! We add canned corn into our goulash and the kids gobble it right up. It also helps to add red and green bell pepper into grilled chesse sandwhiches!

Good thinking!
The best trick I've ever found to getting kids to eat any vegetable.....Velveeta cheese. But that stuff on anything, and kids will scarf it up.Spouse of a daycare provider....which I guess makes me one too!

I do the same thing at home with homemade pizza... all kinds of vegetables are hidden under my cheese, finely chopped so the kids have no idea. I love your red pepper idea--I will definitely give that a shot!Comment

pizza
we do this as well, its a great place to hide all kinds of "healthy things" In the minds of kiddos, pizza is pizza!!! HA HA!!
I am located in Iowa and with chilly weather on its way, it will soon be stew and soup season...I always add extra canned or fresh carrots/corn/g.beans to soups for 2 reasons..its healthy and it makes it stretch a little further!Comment
