Do your kids hate veggies? Because I know the kids I cook for do. At work, we are on the third kid, so the concerns are waning, especially because we have kept two alive this far. But sometimes, those potty training toddlers need some fiber….if you know what I mean. Furthermore, I hate eating veggies, so this is a great way to lie to myself as well.
Some knife skills are required for this recipe, or at the very least, a good food processor.
You will love this dish and appreciate all the added fiber.
