You know, as mothers we think we know what our kids will eat and what they just won't...or so we think we do! Last night I was making dinner and asked Stuart to go down to the freezer and get a frozen vegetable. He came up with what he thought were frozen peas. I said, "Stuart, these are Lima beans. I don't think you guys will eat these!" I asked him if there were any other vegetable and he said no so I thought what the heck I guess I'll try.
I know I didn't buy the Lima beans. I believe they were from Camp Susan and we ended up with them when we divided the left over food.
I cooked them in the microwave, sprinkled them with salt and put a pat of butter on them. I almost didn't even put them on the table because I thought there was no way they were going to eat them, but they were all willing to try... which surprised me as well.
It was a success! They ate them and some even said that they were their new favorite vegetable!
I let that be a lesson for me...if you don't try, you'll never know!

You always hear, don't give your kids pre-conceptions about food before they try them. It's hard not to! Mine often surprise me (Conner more then Spencer, but I think he's growing out of the pickier staage).
My kids are the same way with sprouts. They think they're the best thing in the world, who knew?
