best tips I have read in a while. as a guy who cooked professionally for many years, and whose 2 daughters have (mostly) positive body self-images, the tips about trying new foods is perfect, backup meal is great, let them eat as much or as little as they want. after a while, they pick and choose when to have a soda or some chips or some candy.
quick story: my daughter is a college softball player, has been since age 11. we didn't do candy, but she got some as an after game snack. we decided games were when she could have some candy. she's a senior this year, and had a bad game last week. I sent her some candy. i asked how it tasted. she said its not game day, she'll let me know when she opens it. just give them the tools and stand back, they figure it out
As someone who didn’t like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or broccoli as a kid, my dad always served them to my brother and me with mayonnaise on the side. There was no ranch dressing in the early ‘60s and who wants to dip green veggies in ketchup? Anyway, the mayonnaise trick worked!
Excellent tip on the dips! my 18 month old is a dipping FIEND. Haven't thought to encourage her towards veggies instead of her usual fries and ketchup, but I will now!
The bolognese is one of my most used thanks to the freezeability (probably not a word but whatever). I used it to make a version of pizza beans last night (cannellini, bolognese, kale in a pan then topped with cheese and thrown in the over for a few minutes) - amazing 2nd meal with it. Thank you!
