We’re following the rules and staying inside, but our favorite part of cooking is there are no rules!

When cooking, think of recipes as a framework, not a set of rules, that can be adjusted to meet your family’s needs. You can make changes based on your family’s tastes, what’s on sale, and what’s in season! When planning menus, start with an idea like “stir-fry” or “soup,” and choose specific ingredients to use based on what’s in your pantry, what your family likes, and what leftovers you already have.

Parents consider vegetables and fruits tremendously important and feel they have to get their children to eat them. As a result, many children don’t eat vegetables; others don’t eat fruits. Still others don’t eat either. Settle down! Your child will not experience nutritional catastrophe if he doesn’t eat them. If he gets sick, it is from something else.

Relax and enjoy your own fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables carry the same nutrients, so you and your child can be well-nourished on either.

Eventually, if you eat them, your child will learn to eat them, too.

Tone down strong vegetable flavors with salt, fat, sauces, bread crumbs, herbs and spices.

Tone down fruit textures by making sauces, desserts, using canned rather than fresh.
