experiment

Those of you who know Clark well know that he is a VERY picky eater. The list of foods that he will eat is pretty short - sadly. However, he LOVES honey. In fact, it's pretty much his favorite thing these days. He wants honey on everything. So, I devised a plan to get him to expand his food selection. I made chicken fingers that looked a little like fries and told them he could dip them in honey. We talked it up all day and everybody was excited to have 'honey dippers' for dinner. Clark is a self imposed vegetarian so we were holding our breath to see if he'd actually eat the chicken. And guess what - he ate 5 bites! We were shocked and thrilled! It worked. And no, he didn't touch that broccoli!

Anybody else have picky eaters? Any other tricky suggestions? We need help!

I sure do......MY WIFE!! It's hard to believe how one of the worlds biggest carnivores can be married to a vegie. On the plus side of things, Kelli is very accommodating as she will prepare and cook most flesh for me AND having a vegie for a wife makes for a fairly cheap date!!! LOL

I am not sure about the whole Vegie thing. I know that new book Deceptively Delicious from Jerry Seinfelds wife just came out and she shows you how to puree veggies into your food. My sister loves it! But how do you get a kid to eat meat? keep letting him dip it into honey I guess!
