I know I’m not the only parent who struggles to get their child (one child in particular) to eat anything other than cheese and yogurt, so I thought I’d share this recent household favorite. Spinach pasta is very simple: puree a bunch of spinach with a little salt and sour cream or plain yogurt, then add parmesan cheese, garbanzo beans, and shredded chicken. My kids like it better than pasta with pesto, and the iron content in the spinach is especially helpful since my fussiest eater is also slightly anemic.
Do you have a healthy recipe your kids love?

Ok I am pinning this one to give it a try :-)

Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! I love it!

Oh, good idea about pinning it, Kylie! This sounds like something my kids would love, too.

What a great idea! I don’t think I could get away with the garbanzo beans but my kids may actually eat the rest of this.

Never mind the kids, I want to eat this! Thanks, MaryAnne. I’m going to pin it now.

Yum! That looks amazing and sounds delicious!

Yummy! I also put garbanzo beans in our pasta. But, those, the kids won’t eat!

Beans are actually on the (limited) list of things my kids WILL eat, most of the time at least! Luckily!

That’s a great idea! I think I’ll try this.

This looks really healthy indeed. Unfortunately, daughter is not a greens eater, but she does eat some other veggies. She prefers raw veggies to anything cooked.

This looks really good! I’m not sure if the kids would eat it, or not – but it’s worth a try.

Mine wouldn’t fall for that, but if I put raw spinach in salad they’ll devour it. Anything that is leafy and served in salad is eaten quickly.

good recipe! I’ll have to try this!

This looks yummy – I want to make it just for myself! I actually think Matthew might try this, despite the green color. Sounds delicious!

Looks wonderful! I actually think the green color is a plus!
