I still remember the controversy in 2007 when Jessica Seinfeld came out with a cookbook about how to sneak vegetable purées into kid-approved dishes like mac and cheese and brownies. It sounded like a bad idea to me. How would a child learn to recognize and eventually enjoy vegetables if they were eating them unknowingly? I wouldn’t do that to my kids, said my late-20s self, probably over a leisurely late Sunday brunch, wearing an outfit not crusted with old oatmeal, and definitely not listening to Dora the Explorer singing “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” on repeat.
A lot can change in nine years, including one’s stance on feeding vegetables to children.
