My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>.

These days, however, it is out of favor. A growing body of evidence suggests wheat and specifically gluten, the major protein of wheat, can be damaging to some people’s health. Conditions such as celiac disease, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23937528\">non-celiac gluten sensitivity\u003c/a> (NCGS) and wheat allergy are becoming increasingly common. These conditions affect adults and children alike, but for children the transition to a gluten-free diet can be especially challenging. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many children seem to live on pasta and bread. Parents may be afraid that without these favorite foods their kids will go hungry. Social gatherings and holidays are especially awkward and having to refuse or substitute food at birthday parties is a constant chore. Luckily resources are available and with increased public awareness, nourishing our children regardless of their dietary restrictions is getting easier.

Another important test is the cross-reactive foods panel. This test looks for reactivity to foods with very similar proteins to those found in gluten, so they practice molecular mimicry.

My kids have been gluten-free for the past 5 years. Many parents will feel overwhelmed; that it is impossible. I tell them to start by purging their kitchen and laying all of the foods with gluten out on the counter. Once you look at it you realize that most of it is food that you shouldn’t be eating anyway, at least it shouldn’t be the mainstay of your diet. Food should come from your fridge or your fruit basket. I’m not one who advocates going gluten-free and replacing all of the doughnuts in your house with gluten-free doughnuts. However, if you need to do that as a special treat there are plenty of options.

These days, however, it is out of favor. A growing body of evidence suggests wheat and specifically gluten, the major protein of wheat, can be damaging to some people’s health. Conditions such as celiac disease, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23937528\">non-celiac gluten sensitivity\u003c/a> (NCGS) and wheat allergy are becoming increasingly common. These conditions affect adults and children alike, but for children the transition to a gluten-free diet can be especially challenging. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many children seem to live on pasta and bread. Parents may be afraid that without these favorite foods their kids will go hungry. Social gatherings and holidays are especially awkward and having to refuse or substitute food at birthday parties is a constant chore. Luckily resources are available and with increased public awareness, nourishing our children regardless of their dietary restrictions is getting easier.

Consider the 2-year-old to-do list: Get tantrums under control. Potty train. Transition from whole milk to low-fat milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from experience, only \u003cem>one\u003c/em> of these things was easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As my daughter turned 2 in January, we made the simple switch to reduced-fat milk. Done. Don't need to overthink this one, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, I'm following the evidence-based advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2008-1349\">guidance\u003c/a> is based on studies that found children who consumed low-fat milk as part of a reduced-saturated-fat diet had lower concentrations of LDL cholesterol. Given the body of evidence in adults linking high cholesterol to increased risk of heart disease, it makes sense to keep an eye on cholesterol, beginning in childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you take fat out of milk, you've also reduced calories, which should help protect kids against becoming overweight. At least, that's been the assumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here's where things gets confusing. A \u003ca href=\"http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2013/02/13/archdischild-2012-302941.short?g=w_adc_ahead_tab\">new study\u003c/a> of preschool-aged children published in the \u003cem>Archives of Disease in Childhood\u003c/em>, a sister publication of the \u003cem>British Medical Journal\u003c/em>, finds that low-fat milk was associated with higher weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's right, kids drinking low-fat milk tended to be heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were quite surprised\" by the findings, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/371\">Mark DeBoer\u003c/a> told me in an email. He and his co-author, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/rebeca-scharf\">Rebecca Scharf\u003c/a>, both of the University of Virginia, had hypothesized just the opposite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they found the relationship between skim-milk drinkers and higher body weights held up across all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. DeBoer says their data also show that low-fat milk did not restrain weight gain in preschoolers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study included about 10,700 children in the United States. Parents were interviewed about their child's beverage consumption on two occasions: once when the children were 2 years old and again at 4 years. Direct measurements of height and weight (to calculate body mass index) were taken by researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, this is not the first study to point in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2005\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Berkey+Milk%2C+dietary+calcium+and+weight+gain\"> study\u003c/a>, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital reported that skim and 1 percent milk were associated with weight gain among 9-to-14-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Huh+milk+adiposity\">study\u003c/a> by researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston, which also looked at preschool-aged children, found that higher intake of whole milk at age 2 was associated with a slightly lower BMI (body mass index). The researchers concluded that switching from whole milk to reduced-fat milk at 2 years did not appear to prevent weight problems in early childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at these studies together, DeBoer's findings become more intriguing, though it's unclear how higher fat could lead to lower weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One theory: It's possible that whole milk gives us a greater sense of satiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is speculative,\" says DeBoer, but if you feel fuller after drinking whole-fat milk, \"it may be protective if the other food options are high in calories.\" In other words, if whole-fat milk saves a kid from eating an extra cookie or a second serving of mashed potatoes, he or she may end up eating fewer calories overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the authors acknowledge, one of the shortcomings of the new study is that the researchers did not know how many calories the children were consuming overall or what types of foods they were eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is it time to think anew about switching toddlers to low-fat milk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think there is harm in rethinking a recommendation, particularly if there weren't rigorous data behind it,\" says DeBoer. He says he hopes his results lead to further, more definitive studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced. \"I do think that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">\u003c/a>recommendation to give low-fat milk at age 2 is sound advice,\" says Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">Stephen Daniels\u003c/a>, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado and member of the AAP's Committee on Nutrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the \u003cem>link\u003c/em> between low-fat milk and higher weight makes much sense from a biological perspective,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the earliest studies evaluating diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol did find a link to less obesity among girls. And Daniels points out that in the new study, the toddlers who were on low-fat milk were already heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This leaves open the real chance that parents may have been choosing low-fat milk as a weight-management strategy for those who were already overweight,\" Daniels says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents, if this leaves you confused, one thing to keep in mind is that — whether it's whole, 2 percent or skim — milk is probably not a major driver when it comes to childhood weight problems.

Consider the 2-year-old to-do list: Get tantrums under control. Potty train. Transition from whole milk to low-fat milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from experience, only \u003cem>one\u003c/em> of these things was easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As my daughter turned 2 in January, we made the simple switch to reduced-fat milk. Done. Don't need to overthink this one, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, I'm following the evidence-based advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2008-1349\">guidance\u003c/a> is based on studies that found children who consumed low-fat milk as part of a reduced-saturated-fat diet had lower concentrations of LDL cholesterol. Given the body of evidence in adults linking high cholesterol to increased risk of heart disease, it makes sense to keep an eye on cholesterol, beginning in childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you take fat out of milk, you've also reduced calories, which should help protect kids against becoming overweight. At least, that's been the assumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here's where things gets confusing. A \u003ca href=\"http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2013/02/13/archdischild-2012-302941.short?g=w_adc_ahead_tab\">new study\u003c/a> of preschool-aged children published in the \u003cem>Archives of Disease in Childhood\u003c/em>, a sister publication of the \u003cem>British Medical Journal\u003c/em>, finds that low-fat milk was associated with higher weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's right, kids drinking low-fat milk tended to be heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were quite surprised\" by the findings, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/371\">Mark DeBoer\u003c/a> told me in an email. He and his co-author, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/rebeca-scharf\">Rebecca Scharf\u003c/a>, both of the University of Virginia, had hypothesized just the opposite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they found the relationship between skim-milk drinkers and higher body weights held up across all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. DeBoer says their data also show that low-fat milk did not restrain weight gain in preschoolers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study included about 10,700 children in the United States. Parents were interviewed about their child's beverage consumption on two occasions: once when the children were 2 years old and again at 4 years. Direct measurements of height and weight (to calculate body mass index) were taken by researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, this is not the first study to point in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2005\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Berkey+Milk%2C+dietary+calcium+and+weight+gain\"> study\u003c/a>, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital reported that skim and 1 percent milk were associated with weight gain among 9-to-14-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Huh+milk+adiposity\">study\u003c/a> by researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston, which also looked at preschool-aged children, found that higher intake of whole milk at age 2 was associated with a slightly lower BMI (body mass index). The researchers concluded that switching from whole milk to reduced-fat milk at 2 years did not appear to prevent weight problems in early childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at these studies together, DeBoer's findings become more intriguing, though it's unclear how higher fat could lead to lower weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One theory: It's possible that whole milk gives us a greater sense of satiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is speculative,\" says DeBoer, but if you feel fuller after drinking whole-fat milk, \"it may be protective if the other food options are high in calories.\" In other words, if whole-fat milk saves a kid from eating an extra cookie or a second serving of mashed potatoes, he or she may end up eating fewer calories overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the authors acknowledge, one of the shortcomings of the new study is that the researchers did not know how many calories the children were consuming overall or what types of foods they were eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is it time to think anew about switching toddlers to low-fat milk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think there is harm in rethinking a recommendation, particularly if there weren't rigorous data behind it,\" says DeBoer. He says he hopes his results lead to further, more definitive studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced. \"I do think that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">\u003c/a>recommendation to give low-fat milk at age 2 is sound advice,\" says Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">Stephen Daniels\u003c/a>, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado and member of the AAP's Committee on Nutrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the \u003cem>link\u003c/em> between low-fat milk and higher weight makes much sense from a biological perspective,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the earliest studies evaluating diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol did find a link to less obesity among girls. And Daniels points out that in the new study, the toddlers who were on low-fat milk were already heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This leaves open the real chance that parents may have been choosing low-fat milk as a weight-management strategy for those who were already overweight,\" Daniels says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents, if this leaves you confused, one thing to keep in mind is that — whether it's whole, 2 percent or skim — milk is probably not a major driver when it comes to childhood weight problems.

They grab at anything within reach. They swivel their heads as they walk, twirling constantly to see what's happening behind them, mindful that they're always missing something. Things fall apart; the line cannot hold. The other day, we were leaving the farmer's market, heading for the lobster tanks inside, when a girl prone to dawdling dawdled. I asked her to catch up. She stared up at me and offered a retort for which I had no rote teacher-ly rejoinder \"I'm just looking at the world.\" At that moment, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Cosentino\">Incanto chef, Boccalone owner, and Food Network presence Chris Cosentino\u003c/a> glided by, pushing a produce-stacked cart. A small blond boy sat on top of the cart, giggling. \"Weeeee,\" said the kid. I thought of Old Mcdonald's Farm -- the mooing cows, quacking ducks, and oinking pigs, and what Chris Cosentino would do with them if he had the chance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, we checked out the mushroom mini-farms at \u003ca href=\"http://www.farwestfungi.com/\">Far West Fungi\u003c/a>. \"Eeek, blech,\" said a girl, scrunching her eyes and nose, tilting her head to properly appraise the craggy shitake caps poking out from what looked like a wizened loaf of pumpernickel. \"You don't like mushrooms?\" I asked. \"I like mushrooms, but not ones with yucky shells,\" she explained, cackling, waving her hands at me as if I were a dunce and she was making perfect sense. She noticed a poster of wild mushrooms hanging outside the store. \"I like this one,\" she said, pointing to a particular 'shroom. \"That is a shitake,\" I said. \"It's just like the ones on the log you said were yucky.\" Three hours later, she woke up from a nap and grabbed my leg as I walked past her mat. \"Actually, I only like two kinds of mushrooms,\" she said, as if to clear up a misunderstanding. \"I like the big ones and the little round ones.\" \"Okay,\" I responded.

The kids make choices, which is good for them to do.

The saying has drifted through my mind at snack-time, though in this case, it expresses patience, not exasperation. To rope in another livestock platitude, the vegetables kids adamantly refuse -- no matter how sustainable, delicious, and healthy they may be -- are not pearls cast before proverbial swine. You can't force much with kids and food. You can lead them to water, and while you can't make them drink, you can drink yourself, in front of them, and tell them how good it is. If you're funny and sincere enough, sooner or later, they'll get thirsty. Breathlessly extolling their virtues between bites, I practically wore out my molars chomping purple peppers before a boy took pity on me, kind of shaking his head as he reached out a small pudgy paw for his own sliver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4-year-olds don't know that much yet. They also have a pretty limited vocabulary. Yet they're -- like \u003ca href=\"http://creativegreenius.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/curious-george-movie.jpg\">George\u003c/a> -- endlessly curious, and constantly -- unlike George -- growing and honing new tools for comprehension and conversation. As a result, they're very good at asking obvious, simple questions that actually require difficult, complex answers. On Tuesday, halfway through the afternoon, two children, a boy and a girl, argued. The boy yelped imperiously, \"Did you know that if dinosaurs were alive now, they would eat us?\" The girl guffawed in disbelief. \"Eat us?\" she snorted, probably, for once, not on purpose. \"No way! Why would they eat us? We're not food.\" The boy nodded solemnly, closing his eyes as his head swung up and down. \"They would. Do you know why? Because we have meat in our bodies.\" The girl started to say something, then paused, her eyes wandering down to the arms hanging at her sides. She lifted her left arm with her right hand and let it flop down, limp. She picked it up again and squeezed it slowly and deliberately, feeling bone and muscle, her fingers crawling all the way up to her tiny shoulder. You could tell her brain was working hard. She was thinking about meat -- what she knew of it, where she thought it came from, what it looked like, what it tasted like. Grilled chicken. Pepperoni on pizza. Ham sandwiches. Shrimp. She yelled at me from halfway across the room: \"Do we have meat in our bodies for real?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I tried to pretend I hadn't heard. She yelled again.

I need to say up front that the idea of hiding vegetables in food has always made me cringe. Although I would like to think my dislike for being \"deceptive\" is due to my belief that parents should always be honest with their children, I must admit my sensibility as a true vegetable lover is offended as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am also confused as to why this book was such a big hit. I realize that the author is Jerry Seinfeld's wife, and that the exposure she received from her publisher is pretty impressive, but is there more to the story (\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/02/26/entertainment/e034740S58.DTL&hw=seinfeld+plagiarism&sn=002&sc=988\">other than another cookbook author suing both Seinfelds for plagiarism\u003c/a>)? My question is: why has the vegetable become persona non grata at the family dinner table?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can think of many reasons why parents should avoid hiding vegetables in their kids' food. For one thing, if the veggies are hidden, kids have no idea they’re actually eating them. Although this may seem to be the point of masquerading them in the first place, it sets up a scenario where children grow up thinking they can live vegetable-free lives. Okay, maybe not vegetable free entirely, but if vegetables aren't a part of a child's regular daily food consumption, she (or he) won't acquire a taste for them and so won't necessarily want to eat them as an adult. Stealth recipes, as Ms. Seinfeld calls them, can eventually backfire. The trick of pureeing and chopping up vegetables so children don't notice them will only work for so long. At some point, those little smarties will figure it out and when they do, they'll get the message that vegetables are \"gross\" and inedible, worthy only of being smashed to bits and hidden in meat, pasta or cheese. I realize that many parents themselves aren't vegetables lovers, but instead of throwing in the towel and passing on an aversion to an essential food group, I suggest exploring new and different ways of eating and preparing vegetables with the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, here are some suggestions for serving vegetables in an open and honest way with your family. They may not all work for you, but the chances that one or two of these suggestions could make even a small impact is worth a try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X9VM5xDVI/AAAAAAAAACk/8vHV_HxNqr0/s1600-h/veggies.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X9VM5xDVI/AAAAAAAAACk/8vHV_HxNqr0/s320/veggies.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Take your children with you to the store or \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/food/farmersmarkets/\">farmer’s market\u003c/a> to pick out the vegetables themselves. Show them the variety of vegetables available, as well as the vibrant colors and different textures. When you get home, your kids will be more excited about the vegetables they've chosen for the family dinner table and more likely to eat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Take your child to the farmer’s market and speak with the farmer or sales person about the vegetables that are currently in season. This will help your children to build a curiosity about where their food comes from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Grow your own vegetables if you have a yard. And, even if you don't, try growing some small container plants like cherry tomatoes or peppers. After growing a vegetable for weeks to months, your child will be excited to get to pick it her or himself and, more importantly, eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: Gardening doesn't have to be labor intensive. If you want to spend a lot of time in your yard, you can have a beautiful garden, but this isn't necessary. Just pick a few plants to grow and be sure to water them every couple of days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Ask your child to help you cook. They can help you wash the vegetables, peel them, chop with supervision, and actually do some of the cooking. If your child feels a sense of pride about the meal your family is eating, he or she is more likely to want to eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: One way to do this, now that it's almost Spring, is to buy fresh English peas in the pod and spend time with your kids shelling them. This is a fun hands-on experience that my daughters love. Oh, and be sure to let them taste them raw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Bs5xDTI/AAAAAAAAACU/HREaO2R2F_s/s1600-h/maddiepea.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Bs5xDTI/AAAAAAAAACU/HREaO2R2F_s/s320/maddiepea.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Make vegetables fun by purchasing them in a new way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: Try buying purple potatoes or different colored carrots to spark your child's interest. In the Fall, you can also buy \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/produce/brusselssprouts.html\">Brussels sprouts\u003c/a> on the stalk. When my daughters were about four, they weren't thrilled with sprouts until we bought them this way; but, after an afternoon of plucking them off the stem and then pretending the stem was a scepter, they loved them. I now try to buy the sprouts on the stalk as often as I can. Buying Brussels sprouts has become an event instead of a hated side dish (I don't have a picture of Brussels sprouts on the stem here as they’re not in season, but check out those purple carrots!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Nc5xDUI/AAAAAAAAACc/wgIWOrsSq2A/s1600-h/maddiecarrots.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Nc5xDUI/AAAAAAAAACc/wgIWOrsSq2A/s320/maddiecarrots.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Respect that your child will not love every vegetable and allow them to name one or two that they prefer not to eat. Then ask them which vegetables they love and make a point to eat one of them that evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Try serving some vegetables raw with dip as part of your meal or as a snack. Great vegetables to use are carrots, peppers, cucumbers, snap peas, green beans, broccoli, and fennel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Try cooking vegetables in a different way. Sometimes a child's aversion may be to the texture or preparation of a dish, rather than the vegetable itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: Instead of steaming cauliflower, try chopping it up into small florets and roasting it with olive oil and butter topped with some fresh bread crumbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Serve vegetables every day so they become a natural part of the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Be sure to eat your own plate of vegetables in front of your child so they see you enjoying them yourself.

I need to say up front that the idea of hiding vegetables in food has always made me cringe. Although I would like to think my dislike for being \"deceptive\" is due to my belief that parents should always be honest with their children, I must admit my sensibility as a true vegetable lover is offended as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am also confused as to why this book was such a big hit. I realize that the author is Jerry Seinfeld's wife, and that the exposure she received from her publisher is pretty impressive, but is there more to the story (\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/02/26/entertainment/e034740S58.DTL&hw=seinfeld+plagiarism&sn=002&sc=988\">other than another cookbook author suing both Seinfelds for plagiarism\u003c/a>)? My question is: why has the vegetable become persona non grata at the family dinner table?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can think of many reasons why parents should avoid hiding vegetables in their kids' food. For one thing, if the veggies are hidden, kids have no idea they’re actually eating them. Although this may seem to be the point of masquerading them in the first place, it sets up a scenario where children grow up thinking they can live vegetable-free lives. Okay, maybe not vegetable free entirely, but if vegetables aren't a part of a child's regular daily food consumption, she (or he) won't acquire a taste for them and so won't necessarily want to eat them as an adult. Stealth recipes, as Ms. Seinfeld calls them, can eventually backfire. The trick of pureeing and chopping up vegetables so children don't notice them will only work for so long. At some point, those little smarties will figure it out and when they do, they'll get the message that vegetables are \"gross\" and inedible, worthy only of being smashed to bits and hidden in meat, pasta or cheese. I realize that many parents themselves aren't vegetables lovers, but instead of throwing in the towel and passing on an aversion to an essential food group, I suggest exploring new and different ways of eating and preparing vegetables with the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, here are some suggestions for serving vegetables in an open and honest way with your family. They may not all work for you, but the chances that one or two of these suggestions could make even a small impact is worth a try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X9VM5xDVI/AAAAAAAAACk/8vHV_HxNqr0/s1600-h/veggies.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X9VM5xDVI/AAAAAAAAACk/8vHV_HxNqr0/s320/veggies.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Take your children with you to the store or \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/food/farmersmarkets/\">farmer’s market\u003c/a> to pick out the vegetables themselves. Show them the variety of vegetables available, as well as the vibrant colors and different textures. When you get home, your kids will be more excited about the vegetables they've chosen for the family dinner table and more likely to eat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Take your child to the farmer’s market and speak with the farmer or sales person about the vegetables that are currently in season. This will help your children to build a curiosity about where their food comes from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Grow your own vegetables if you have a yard. And, even if you don't, try growing some small container plants like cherry tomatoes or peppers. After growing a vegetable for weeks to months, your child will be excited to get to pick it her or himself and, more importantly, eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: Gardening doesn't have to be labor intensive. If you want to spend a lot of time in your yard, you can have a beautiful garden, but this isn't necessary. Just pick a few plants to grow and be sure to water them every couple of days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Ask your child to help you cook. They can help you wash the vegetables, peel them, chop with supervision, and actually do some of the cooking. If your child feels a sense of pride about the meal your family is eating, he or she is more likely to want to eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: One way to do this, now that it's almost Spring, is to buy fresh English peas in the pod and spend time with your kids shelling them. This is a fun hands-on experience that my daughters love. Oh, and be sure to let them taste them raw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Bs5xDTI/AAAAAAAAACU/HREaO2R2F_s/s1600-h/maddiepea.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Bs5xDTI/AAAAAAAAACU/HREaO2R2F_s/s320/maddiepea.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Make vegetables fun by purchasing them in a new way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: Try buying purple potatoes or different colored carrots to spark your child's interest. In the Fall, you can also buy \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/produce/brusselssprouts.html\">Brussels sprouts\u003c/a> on the stalk. When my daughters were about four, they weren't thrilled with sprouts until we bought them this way; but, after an afternoon of plucking them off the stem and then pretending the stem was a scepter, they loved them. I now try to buy the sprouts on the stalk as often as I can. Buying Brussels sprouts has become an event instead of a hated side dish (I don't have a picture of Brussels sprouts on the stem here as they’re not in season, but check out those purple carrots!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Nc5xDUI/AAAAAAAAACc/wgIWOrsSq2A/s1600-h/maddiecarrots.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/blogger/_tOgNuMWXhTk/R8X8Nc5xDUI/AAAAAAAAACc/wgIWOrsSq2A/s320/maddiecarrots.jpg\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Respect that your child will not love every vegetable and allow them to name one or two that they prefer not to eat. Then ask them which vegetables they love and make a point to eat one of them that evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Try serving some vegetables raw with dip as part of your meal or as a snack. Great vegetables to use are carrots, peppers, cucumbers, snap peas, green beans, broccoli, and fennel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Try cooking vegetables in a different way. Sometimes a child's aversion may be to the texture or preparation of a dish, rather than the vegetable itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Idea: Instead of steaming cauliflower, try chopping it up into small florets and roasting it with olive oil and butter topped with some fresh bread crumbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9.
