Hi parents
Don't forget...
your children are much more adventurous with food the more involved they are in the shopping and planning process.
Tonight, I had an eggplant we needed to eat. My son and I searched for recipes and he picked an EGGPLANT PIZZA recipe... (link below from allrecipes.com)
the eggplant serves as the crust--
I let him do most of the cooking ...OF COURSE, it takes longer and is MUCH messier
but he ate a food that he normally doesn't enjoy!

(see end of entry for a few changes we made)
What they learn:
-reading & following directions
-measuring/math
-safe food handling (raw eggs)
-LIFE SKILLS!
What I EARNED?
-time with my son!
changes we made:
-we sprayed the coated slices with olive oil spray instead of frying in more oil
-we used less cheese
-I used feta for mine(more flavor, less cheese needed)
-we used white whole wheat flour
-Turkey pepperoni for Daddy's "meat" pizza!
