I know I know it sounds crazy, right?!

You make a long skinny meatloaf basically, form it into "hot dog" shapes and cook them in a skillet letting each side cook completely before rolling to the next (that keeps them together). Its a great way to sneak veggies in a picky kiddos diet, I put grated carrot in mine along with shredded cheese so they cant tell whats what!! The kids loved the idea of such a silly food. "Aunt Stephi Burgers don't go on hot dog buns!!" LOL! They ate every bit of them. I also like to sneak onion powder and very adult seasonings into food like this to help develop their pallets. i served my "Burger Dogs" with baked french fries and fresh chopped tomatoes from the garden. They loved it!

Sometimes just changing things up will make kids eat their food...

I made plan pancakes but poured them into "Micky" shapes. They were a huge hit!!!



I have also noticed I can get them to eat the thick custard yogurt, they think its pudding!!

Playin with food is one of the best ways to get kids to try new things and be open to food. Pudding paint is a great way to get the littlest kids involved.

I always let the big kids paint and do projects but I cant let the babies because, well, they eat the paint lol!

So I made some "puddin paint" using 2 packages of white chocolate instant pudding and 3 cups of skim milk (adding the extra keeps it thinner). And then divided it up into individual cups and added 4 drops of food coloring to each cup, put the babies in the empty bath tub in diapers and let them go wild!!!! You want to talk about time of their lifes!!!

Here are some pictures for yall...

Yummy...

They had soo much fun...

My messy girl!!
