Yummy Mummy Cindy in Ottawa asks:I have 2 year old triplet girls and they will not eat veggies. I have tried putting them in other foods| raw| cooked| and I am worried that they aren't
Dear Cindy|
I am replying to your question exactly as it was written because I think this says it all! I can just hear some screech or crash calling you away just as you press send. Triplets are a formidable force that most of us can only imagine.
Your answer is soup.
In the biggest slow cooker you can find| simmer beef bones| onions| carrots| turnip (but neither broccoli nor cauliflower| they are too suphurous). Simmer for 12 hours or so. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bones and veg (reserve for the dog!) Now you have a very nutritious broth with which to make soup.
Add some elbow or alphabet noodles along with grated carrots| parsnips etc. Add only enough salt to give it the flavor that they are used to. Let them stir in some grated cheese and dunk in some whole grain crackers. Total active time will be less than 30 minutes but you will have a weeks worth of lunch.
As they learn to like another vegetable| add it in. Peas| squash and tiny bit s of broccoli are good ones to try first.
And| Cindy| I wish you all the best of lu
