My kids, Liam in particular, love the food challenges on Food Network, so I challenged them to the Ultimate Salad Battle. We get our vegetable delivery on Wednesday and they had to see how many of the items in the box they could use to create the best salad ever. At first they didn't think about using the fruit, for them dinner and salad means vegetables. We have fruit salad for breakfast or lunch, the idea of oranges and apples at dinner was a little strange for them, and this is why I like cooking with my kids, it helps me realize what I am teaching them without knowing it. I have taught them that fruits are not part of dinner, this is not something I have ever said, but have taught them this by not making fruits a part of dinner. Now that I know this I can now make an effort to find ways to include fruits and vegetables into our evening meals. What do you teach your kids about food without realizing?
