Purple Rice Eater
A couple nights ago, I made a lentil-sweet potato stew. It was good but kind of bland and as usual, Gab didn't eat much of it. We had enough left over to make another meal, so I added some bacon to give it some more flavor and made some purple rice (found on the fair trade aisle of the grocery store) so that we could eat the stew over it.
When Gab saw the purple rice, he said "What's his momma?" and I answered "It's like candy, you'll really like it" (I told myself I would never manipulate my kids like that, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do), he tried it with a spoonful of stew and said "Momma, this is really good" and finished his plate.
He slept until 7:30 this morning.
Purple rice for picky eaters- it does the trick!
Perhaps you'll become one of those moms that adds food color to mashed potatoes and the like...
