hiden veggies recipes

[MrsH]

I was thinking more about us. Hide veggies in other dishes as a way of getting more veggies in our diet.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up MrsH. I have no problem hiding fruits and vegetables as long as everybody else knows about it.

It is easily broken, yes. They are so trusting. I was never tricked into eating things and I haven't done that either. I remember not liking things and being told to just try it to see if maybe I could like it. Sometimes it took many tries over the years (peas and chili come to mind ) but it worked... I enjoy chili and peas very much now.

I wish I could find some foods that disguise the taste of vegetables for myself. I've always been a picky eater, and even when I was a kid I couldn't stand the taste of most vegetables. My mother had to do some pretty fast talking to keep me healthy.

My father did this to me once as well. Telling me that black olives were fish eyes and that they were watching you as you ate them. I was so little that I was actually scared and to this day I absolutely refuse to eat any kind of olives.
