3 Cheers for Veggies! (& Meatloaf)


In my never ending and fruitless (ha ha) quest to get some little people around here to eat their veggies, I picked up a copy of Rah, Rah, Radishes!: A Vegetable Chant.  It has beautiful photographs and is fun to read ("Onion. Scallion. Leak and shallot.  Grab that garlic. Please your palate!")  I myself wasn't a cheerleader so probably didn't do it justice but my three year old was surprisingly into it.

I decided to create a quick veggie scavenger hunt for our next trip to the grocery store.  You can find it here if you want your own copy.
After we find them all and check them off, my plan is to have him choose one.  We'll buy it and try a new recipe.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Will he actually eat it or won't he?????  Is the suspense just killing you??

Also, today is the second day of the Fall Crawl!  Kellie at Happy Baby Chronicles is making a meatloaf.  The perfect comfort food for cool fall weather!  Go visit her to check out the recipe!

Pin It!
