I have blogged before about my picky toddler -- green veggies are clearly the enemy. We had a minor breakthrough on Sunday, however, enjoying some asparagus at dinner. Several things that may have contributed to the success:
- Walt and I went shopping together, and he picked out the asparagus. It was particularly fresh and beautiful, and turned out to be mighty tasty.
- He helped me wash the veggies and watched me cook. No fancy preparation, just salt, pepper, and olive oil and blast it under the broiler for about 5 minutes.
- We used loads of parmesan cheese, his favorite.
This might have been a fluke, but you can always do your best to include your child in shopping, preparation, and meal time.
