Get them to eat broccoli
My kids are notoriously picky eaters. I’ve said that pasta and berries are about the only things keeping them alive, and I wasn’t kidding. However, there is one typically despised food that they eat with gusto. Broccoli.
During a recent trip to the grocery store, I put a few florets into the shopping cart, eliciting a cheer from Grace. People looked at us like she was from Mars. As long as I prepare it the right way, she’ll eat it. Here’s the magical recipe.
Boil the broccoli briefly, so that it’s soft but not mushy. Dump it into a bowl and add the juice of one lemon, a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and two finely chopped cloves of garlic. Cover the result and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Serve cold.
I’m telling you, they inhale it. Try it with your kids. The worst that will happen is they’ll say “No.” And you’re used to that by now, right?
