The foods that baffle me with my girls...

So I am always struggling with Isabel to get her to eat veggies, and I mean always.  People suggest a lot of tricks to me but I can tell ya a lot of those ideas just won't fly with her.  Puree you ask?  Nope tried that makes not difference, pureed carrot, cooked carrot she will not touch, however peel a carrot for dinner and she will steal it off the counter and eat it, shred it put it raw in salad and again she is unlikely to touch it, stir fry, not a chance...potatoes, only way she will eat them is as fries...no mash, no potato salad not mixed in and hidden in stews, this goes for sweet potatoes too.  Red cabbage, again like carrots same deal.  A lot of times I will just put some salad on her plate just to get her to eat something green.  Yet she eats the plants from my garden go figure.  Then again she will eat poppadoms, cilantro chutney, and tamarind, date chutney that makes even my tongue tingle!

It just boggles my mind it really does but it makes life interesting.
