when giving my kids new food I try to make it fun. Like sword fighting with celery or cutting food into shapes.
What a great giveaway, Elizabeth! If I am serving a new food, or something I think my son won’t like, I try to wrap my dinner around a theme, whether it be ethnic or otherwise. My son especially liked when I announced a “carbo-load” dinner the night before his Jr. Tackle football game. There were pasta dishes with garlic, squash, spinach, etc. — things I thought he might not like. But giving it a special twist made him want to try everything!
This has been a great gesture Elizabeth. Well my wife do take care of my little one (3 year old) and he uses a nice little trick to get him with new dish. She just takes him outside the house and shows the sky as limit and take him there if he eats it.
Serving something with dip always seems to help.
But we just make them do 3 bites of something, then they can say “no thank you” and have something like PB&J or yogurt or something equally easy that the dinner-maker didn’t have to prep (we’re not a diner with multiple dinners available). Still keep offering things though – took 2 years, but my 5yo finally decided he liked green beans (I grow our own and can it myself, so it’s way better than anything store bought).

We have a 2-3 bite and no thank you rule. Of course along with this we have healthy dips to put veggies in to help them along.

I give them the food first, before they’ve had lunch or dinner (right before whatever meal is next). They’re more likely to try something new if they are hungry.

What a wonderful giveaway! When I give my girls veggies, I give them light ranch dip to go with them, that way I know they’ll eat them, they love ranch. I also tell them to try a bite or two of something before they tell me they don’t like it. My oldest wrinkles up her nose to a lot of stuff because she is so picky and doesn’t taste it first, he just says that she doesn’t like it. Thanks so much for the chance to win this giveaway!

I introduce the kids to new foods by getting them involved- with shopping or making or both. Even just sitting at the counter and watching they get to say I helped mom make this, and they are excited to at least try the new foods. Everyone is not going to like everything but at least try is my policy.

My kids see by example that it is fun to try new foods. My husband and I like to try different ethnic recipes, and by us showing them how much fun it is to prepare and eat food, they join in. They even help in the prep work.

I normally will make the same thing for everyone and if they see us eating it they will be more likely to eat it themselves. But when they put up a fuss I always tell them to try a bite you never know you might like it.

Call me a bad mommy, but I really don’t give my children a choice. I have always told them; you don’t like it-don’t eat it, but don’t come crying to me that you’re hungry in thirty minutes cause the kitchen will be closed…
That usually works, because they eat it.

I keep on re-presenting my kids the new food over several meals, prepared differently (or the same) until they take to it.
Sometimes (when I have the time), I try to make them fun/funny by cutting them into animals/shapes, etc.
I’m suscribed in Google Reader.
I have them try the food at least one time. Some foods that they turned their noses up previously, they found with one bite that they were good

If they don’t want to eat black beans. I usually make Black Bean Soup and rice. By the way, Great Giveaway!

We try to compare new foods to something he already likes so he has an idea of the taste, texture, etc. That way, he is more comfortable with trying new things.
I’m a happy subscriber!
If begging them to try it doesnt work (just kidding)….I ask them to try one bite. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to eat it. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

I eat it, fuss about how I love it, and I know it’s good for me. They become intrigued, taste it and voila.

Fun giveaway! I’ve convinced Gabe that he has to take one bite, just to taste it, and that’s it. He almost always eats more!
I get my daughters to eat their veggies by pureeing them and adding them to recipes. An emample is pureeing squash and adding it to homemade mac and cheese

I’m really lucky that I’ve got no picky eaters at my house. When I serve a new food, I just put it on their plate and if DH and I are enjoying it then the kids just eat it too.
Thanks for the chance to win!
