Seriously?  Is that even possible?  Well, maybe in some households, but in our house it has been a challenge indeed. So, I had to take a gander at Leann Forst's new cookbook titled "How to Get Your Kids to Beg for Veggies" and see if it seemed to solve every mom's problem (helping the kids get enough veggies in their daily routine) without the hassle of extra preparation.  Her trick?  Leann shows how to use veggies in the form of baby food and organic vegetable powders to sneak additional nutrients into favorite recipes in ONE STEP!  (And we're giving away a copy of her book in the contest below.) how to get your kids to beg for veggies, cookbook, leann forst, kids recipes, healthy recipes Could this be the thing that will make picky eaters a thing of the past and bring harmony to the dinner table?  With veggies "hidden" in recipes, the kids will be begging for their favorite dishes and not whining about having to finish their veggies. The cookbook is packed with gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo recipe options, and even has a section titled Kids Nutrition 101 as a guide for helping kids get the nutrition they need each day.
