The ladies are pretty open to new flavors as it stands - their Godparents are from the Ivory Coast, I have a close friend from India, My ex is always taking them to different kinds of places and their step mom now has a lot of friends from different places. Here's a tip...........You can cram shredded carrots in ANYTHING. Enchiladas, tacos, hamburger patties, etc! I am dead serious.

The kids (all 3) love smoothies when I make them at home and I cram all kinds of stuff in those suckers. I use plain yogurt, frozen berries, wheat germ, etc. Rarely, I will use ice cream and make a big deal of it. What they don't know is that Ice Cream covers up lots of other flavors such as the broccoli and carrots I sneak in there! My miracle solution is smoothies.

Apparently, there's some hub-bub about Jessica plagiarizing the book, but frankly the recipes looked good -- I mean a way to put beets into cookies so that you can't taste the difference, that's just brilliant! Apparently the plagiarized book was called "The Sneaky Chef" so perhaps they're both worth checking out.
