The truth is overrated when it comes to kids…I think the last lie I told was that I had waited until I was 25 to try pot. I have a 16 year old–I admire you for having the foresight to start practicing now!
Love those boats!
True Story: My daughter hates vegetables so much that when she was a baby and I gave her some Trix cereal to snack on, she picked out all the round little green Trix, thinking they were peas. (do you have Trix in AU?) I regularly tell her that there are no veggies in her food when there really are, but I have not been as creative as you about it.
Here’s my white lie: I regularly pretend to be still asleep when my kids (or husband) is up and I don’t want to get up yet. I am always afraid they’ll find me out because I am a light sleeper, so light that I have to take something to help me stay asleep when my husband snores. But they really think I’m still asleep. It’s not really a lie, per se, but it isn’t the truth either.
Those are so cute I could eat a dozen! I wish my kidlet would eat “real” food. He has a severe texture and food aversion and at nine, he only eats a very small list of foods. We almost had him in a feeding clinic but by the time they had a space for us, he was considered too old and it could have been more detrimental than not. So I struggle. But *I* will make those for me!
I know how you feel with veggies Lori and Anne. My little one picks grated carrot out of fried rice. The peas do not have a hope. She does not like fruit either.
Very cute recipe Chantelle. Maybe I need to try being a bit more creative with the magical properties of vegetables.
Oh I so love the idea of Tuna Vegetable Boats! My boys would love them….regards to hiding food – I dont hide vegetables but I do make “Chicken n Vegetable Soup” once a week with noodles…except there is no chicken! And our boys love it 🙂
I told my 3yo that the ride on car in the shopping centre was broken so she could sit on it but it wouldn’t move. I think every parent uses that one!
Love it! Very cute. I put pureed cauliflower through lasagne and told the whole family it was bechamel!
This is so cute! I need to try that, too, even though I don’t have kids 😉 yet 😀

I white lie about almost every vegetable and tell my boy they’re herbs. He loves herbs!
Will definitely be trying this recipe.
Thanks a million 🙂
I love these!! We are very lucky to have good eaters. My twins eat oysters, I won’t touch them. They often team up with their dad (our family chef) and try to trick me into eating things on my “picky” list.
My last little white lie to the children? One of the boys is obsessed with superheroes. I told him that the Netflix Spiderman was for kids that are 6. They’re turning 5 in a few weeks. I am just not ready for all that comes with watching superhero cartoons…….

Have you seen the lady bug tomatoes on Pinterest? I made some for my little grand’s b’day, so cute! http://forwhatitsworth-jeannie.blogspot.com/2012/04/colour-me-5.html
