Guacamole Snack, Sauerkraut Snack

steamed carrots and green beans with guacamole for dipping, sliced radishes, apple chunk

I have learned so many tricks about feeding toddlers this year. Here's one: kids will eat anything if they can dip it into something. Pick your healthy poison--guacamole, hummus, cottage cheese with a little garlic and herbs (or just plain cottage cheese), peanut butter, a little warm pool of garlic butter...

Then bring on the veggies.

Remember that sauerkraut from the other week? Well, Darwin is INTO IT. He'll steal it off my plate if I don't give him his own.
