Learn How To Get Kids To Eat Vegetables With These 4 Easy Tips

by Kristen 1 Comment

I am always trying to learn how to get kids to eat vegetables.  Fruits haven’t been too much of a problem, but anything green? No way! When you ask my little guy what his favorite food is, he will almost always say “peas.”  Seriously. If he ever tells you that, do NOT believe him. I’ve called his bluff many times and given him peas. His reply, “never said that.” Bless his heart.

Despite my little guy’s apparent pea obsession, I’m always on the hunt for a new way to get my boys to eat more vegetables, and so I took a class on Child Nutrition from Stanford University. It was relatively simple, but there were four good takeaways. I’ve been using these tips for a year now, and honestly believe that I learned how to get kids to eat vegetables.

Duke's Mayonnaise Pin

I can still remember the day in early December. I was doing my typical online grocery shopping, and there it was, something I had heard of for years but had never actually seen — Duke’s mayonnaise.

I can honestly say that it lived up to the hype. It added a fresh taste to everything I used it in. And I used it a lot! I posted my love for it on Facebook, talked to my friends about it. I was obsessed.  

Want to learn all about my newest obsession, Duke’s mayonnaise? How does it taste? How does it compare to Hellman’s?
