by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

getting kids to eat more vegetables

You want your child to eat his broccoli. He’d rather feed it to the dog. How do you reach a middle ground (you know, one where he eats ALL of his broccoli)? I’ve got an answer, one that involves getting kids to eat more vegetables consistently without an objection ever crossing their mind. When I…

A Vegetable Turkey Loaf that is Divine

by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

Vegetables are the most important and nutritious food available. It’s important to get them into our diet as much as possible, so I often incorporate them into recipes that typically don’t include them. I shared pictures of a veggie turkey loaf I had made for dinner on my personal FB page two weeks ago and people…

Healthy Muffins Kids Will Love

by Dawn Lorenz Leave a Comment

Getting Kids Into Veggies

by Dawn Lorenz 1 Comment

Lips sealed, arms crossed, “I don’t like this.” Meanwhile, he’s never even tried it before. Sound familiar? All of my kids love fruit and they each have a few select vegetables that they will ask for, but none of them willingly eat a wide variety of vegetables. Being that I want them to get the nutrients…

Better for You Brownies
