‘Do one thing every day that scares you’ – Eleanor Roosevelt
Little has started his fussy phase with veggies. Don’t get me wrong, he eats a lot of veggies, yesterday I put broccoli, salad, corn, and pizza on the table, and he ate it in that order. But there are days where he just doesn’t want to eat a vegetable that he recognises. This is when these recipes come in handy.
I am inspired a lot by Instagram recipes for this, as it seems to be the plight of many a parent and there are some great nutritious recipes to try. This one comes from @feeding tiny bellies.
I asked my mum to make these as she is staying with me. She doesn’t like trying new recipes as she likes the outcome to be practiced and perfect, but she does it anyway. I really appreciate that she puts herself out there when she is uncomfortable. She doesn’t have the confidence but her food tastes amazing and whatever she puts her hand to comes out perfectly.
Thanks, Granny, for loving us enough to try.
