Getting my girls to eat green vegetables has been a huge struggle. The both like corn, but haven't eaten the green veggies well since they(the vegetables) were mashed in a jar and spoon fed.
We had cheesy rice with broccoli tonight and Nate and I brought out every trick in the book to try to get Jenna to eat the broccoli. We only asked her to eat one bite, and she usually does, but not tonight.
So, I told her that I'd make her some other green vegetables. She suggested frozen peas. I was a little confused, wondering where she had eaten frozen peas before. Apparently, one of our sitters got her to eat peas if they were frozen!
She ate more frozen peas tonight than all the peas she's ever eaten, I think. Abby apparently likes them too. She asked for some and ate an entire bowl as well.
So if any of you are moms out there who have trouble getting their kids to eat green veggies . . .try frozen peas. My kids eat them like candy ! Who knew?

I'd rather eat brocolli! I hate peas! I think I would hate them frozen too! (They hurt my eyes :) )
Adorable! You know, I actually really like to add cold peas (frozen peas) to my salad sometimes... so I guess I can understand her liking them. Maybe just because it's more "exciting" to eat something that is frozen! Regardless, at least she is eating them! (and keeping your life entertaining!) Love you, KLK
