The other night as we sat down to dinner (yeah us ! actually made it to the dinning room for sit down dinner) and I had an old fashion meat and potatoes kind of meal (or so everyone thought!) until my daughter took a bite of her "mashed potatoes" only to find I had used only one potato and the rest was cauliflower. I even put a litte bit of the non- fat but very yummy gravy on them for her. She recently discovered gravy when on date night with grandma to Swiss Chalet.
She lifts her spoon to her mouth, puts it in and... GAGS.. yup right there - she has NEVER done that. She spits it out very calmly looks at me and says "stop hiding cauliflower I don't like it" . I smile and say okay no problem.
My little five year old girl looks again at me and then says "For real mom, I don't like cauliflower! If she only knew what I hide in meatballs!
Good thing she likes pumpkin -- because that is what is in her very yummy low fat high fiber brownie bites!
