[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 85051, member: 3647"] I saw the Oprah show yesterday too. The lady with the cookbook is Jerry Seinfeld's wife. I've seen a ton of chefs try to either disguise veggies or make them fun for kids. With Tink (and I am sure with Missy and others here), JUST not gonna happen. But I gotta say, she was onto something. She purees broccoli. Makes chicken fingers, and before dredging them in crumbs, she dips them in the puree first. She adds beet puree to brownies, zucchini puree to oatmeal cookies, wow, I can't remember everything. I'm sure going to try it though. Then she had a doctor on, who gave a medical explanation as to why kids don't like veggies. Something about adults have 3000 taste buds, and kids have 10,000. Most of those are sweet. And that goes back however many years to when we ate food from in the wild, and a bitter fruit was normally poisonous. A sweet fruit was generally safe. So here we are all these years later. We still have our appendix, still have our adenoids...and kids still gag on their veggies. [/QUOTE]
