My kids are little. Our battles are big. To get these small, strong-willed people to eat things that are healthful, and sometimes (gasp!) green, I draw on creativity, cookie cutters, and the stealthy placement of veggies. I may have to dress up my kids’ food as animals and cute monsters, but I’m actually enjoying myself in the process. If you want to give it a try, there’s no better time than the junk food fest that is Halloween. Once kids are under the spell of the creepy creatures here, they’ll never notice the healthful ingredients lurking beneath.
