"On the picky eating topic, they say kids are more likely to eat a meal that they helped make. And I know it's true. But, letting kids help can also be a hassle and a mess, or itself end up in a power struggle. Which is not something any parent wants to deal with on a Friday afternoon.
Nevertheless, today I let my daughter help me spiralize zucchini. She loved working the machine (with lots of supervision!) and then tossing the noodles around with her hands. And she and Jack both loved stretching out one noodle to see how long it was (nearly 6 ft!). All in all, while it was a little nerve racking to let her to try the spiralizer, it was totally worth it ... she ate her "green noodles" without debate, and then asked for a second helping!"
