When my children were toddlers they were so fussy with vegetables and if there was a way to hide vegetables in food, I desperately tried it. It was such a frustrating season. I am sure many of you can relate or are in that season right now. Today 2 of my children eat all their vegetables and one is still too fussy in my books but making progress. These are so delicious I could eat the whole batch myself. Such a flexible recipe, which lends itself to many variations and combinations of vegetables.
