Feeding Healthy Families: Going Global - by Stacey Krawcyzk / Chambana Moms - At my house, we definitely eat globally. My kids don't have a choice. I love all types of cuisine and on any given night we could be eating a meal inspired by India, Thailand, England, China, or Germany. Last night, I made a Chinese inspired dinner and placed it in front of my little guy (who just turned 3). He took one look at it and said "Yuck". I told him to try it and then I just walked away. The next thing I knew, half of his dinner was gone. I didn't feed into his first impression, and he loved his meal. This blog post, Feeding Healthy Families: Going Global, on Chambana Moms, talks about what Moms can do to broaden their children's palette and experiment with new foods at home. Plus, there is also a recipe for Mexican Green Chile Pork Posole which I definitely would like to try. You can find it all here.
