I have a little one who won't eat potatoes, so maybe she will try this. The other night I made a dish that my mother always called Beef-a-roni - dreadful name, I always thought. I've tweaked it a little over the years: browned ground turkey cooked with diced onion and a generous scoop of minced garlic, add a can of diced tomatoes, or fresh if you have them, and some basil. Mix with cooked pasta and top with grated parmesan. Quick, cheap, and homemade - and few complaints from the kids.

Like you say it is an excellent way of incorporating vegetables in a child's diet. My four children all love the cottage pie-variations. I am going to try the sweet potato - pumpkin in the topping, what a gorgeous colour! I think your meals are really great for all ages. I always feel hungry when you talk about what you have cooked/baked!

We don't force our kids to eat things they genuinely do not care for, but we do ask that they taste one bite of everything--every time, even if they haven't liked it in the past--because sometimes tastes do change. (And sometimes they don't--I still can't stand lima beans!)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173788247672691139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-88110084466975589092016-09-21T12:38:19.096+10:002016-09-21T12:38:19.096+10:00I chuckled as I read this today Rhonda.

When the kids were little we would make lasagne that had pumpkin or sweet potato puree instead of white sauce. Zucchini was something that would melt down in the meat sauce between the layers. Bak choy also was placed on top of the meat, prior to the pureed pumpkin then the pasta sheets. Was and is delicious.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-57564946804250375622016-09-21T10:03:05.912+10:002016-09-21T10:03:05.912+10:00I so agree Paula, people today are encouraged to t...I so agree Paula, people today are encouraged to try and cook like chef's which is impossible on a day to day basis, no wonder people opt for take away.

This is on my agenda once autumn actually hits here in the States. Thanks for the recipe and tutorial.<br /><br />One way my mom got us to eat vegetables when we were kids (many years ago) was to make each kid take a tablespoon full on our plates. "Just taste it." She had to see each of us take just one bite of each new food she prepared. If we didn't like it, it was OK with her. The next time we saw the dreaded whatever, we had to take just one bite again. Before we knew it, we were happily trying just about everything she cooked. She also made us feel welcome in the kitchen and taught me and two of my three brothers to cook. marypetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635441749337640738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-86544623266897176082016-09-21T08:23:51.844+10:002016-09-21T08:23:51.844+10:00mmm that sounds really good.

I took one look and knew straight away that I'll be giving this one a go. A great one too to use up any leftover vegetables in the fridge before your next shop.
