Help! My kids do not like vegetables!
It is challenging to feed my children because they do not like vegetables. They eat only egg with rice or any meat with rice. Though I have been partly to blame for this, since I did not really train them to eat veggies when they were little, I am in a mission to turn this around.
Since I started staying home and was trying to become a "noble" housewife, I have been concocting recipes that my children will be tricked into eating vegetables. SHHHHHH ! This is just between us, okey? I have been trying to sneak in some vegetables into their meals.
This recipe below is my version of sneaky chef. My son loves this. I chuckle sometimes when he raves about this. Not knowing that garlic, onion, carrots, pepper,veggies he abhor, are present in this meal. I purposely add in the veggies a little late to so that it will be kind of raw when they eat it. I also mince the ingredients so that it will not be obvious.
Whole Grain Bowtie Pasta
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast ( thinly sliced)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 bulb garlic ( mince )
3 sticks carrot (mince)
1 bell pepper (mince)
1 medium size onion (mince)
1 large bell pepper (mince )
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 24 oz can tomato sauce plus
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
Directions:
Cook bowtie pasta per box's instruction.
Heat oil in a huge pan. Add in chicken and let it brown. Brown each side. Add water. Cover the pan and let the chicken cook.
