My passion and goal is to get the kids to want to eat healthy!  We won’t be with them throughout their lives pushing the healthy stuff on them and rewarding them with a cookie if they take one bite of their green beans.  Once your kids start making their own choices, they should be choosing healthy food, because they know it makes them feel better, have more energy, and because it tastes good.  Sharing ideas on how you accomplish this in real houses in real families will help all of us.  And I’ll start by saying, my kids don’t actually like pita bread dipped in hummus.  Nor do they like chopped prunes mixed with cottage cheese (which was an idea I read in a magazine this morning.)  But I will share ideas with you about things my kids will eat, what they love, and what they ask for seconds of!
