“Yummy Sketch of the Day” by Diana Evans
The lovely Irene of Bloesem Kids has just added a new regular column to her blog called Cooking For Kids. The column is guest-authored by caterer and former personal chef Jenny Stegall, and if the first recipe is anything to go by, this is definitely going to be a column to watch! Beyond the absolute deliciousness of the recipe, Jenny has some great tips to share about introducing your children to new (healthy!) foods: “Don’t start by putting a bowl full of roasted beets in front of them; they might sit there until they get married.” Instead, she recommends gradually introducing new flavors by incorporating them into familiar dishes one at a time.
When Jenny’s children were babies, she made these vegetable pancakes all of the time – gradually increasing the amount of vegetables until it was “mostly vegetables with just the batter to hold them together. They love the batter/bread and without realizing it, are becoming aware of flavors that they will later enjoy in a more adult version.” The recipe uses a mix of yummy grated root vegetables like beets and carrots along with a bit of apple and zucchini to liven up traditional pancakes.
