Emily is not one to try new things. If she even THINKS she won't like a food, she'll gag before it reaches her mouth. Thus, it has been very difficult to get her to eat vegetables and anything else with any nutritional benefits. I have gotten sick of hearing doctors and other child specialists tell me that I have to give it to her at least 10 times before she'll eat it. Well, she'd never put it in her mouth, so she was never going to develop a taste for it, period!! I discovered a wonderful new best friend on this battlefront. Couscous!!
I don't remember ever having couscous until I was at BYU and they served it during one of our "cultural" days in French class. I loved it then and I've had it in many different ways since. However, I've never made it for my family until tonight. Emily actually devoured hers and even ate almost ALL of her veggies (corn, peas, carrots) when I mixed it in with it!! She ate it all and nothing was spit back out! I think I'll be stocking up on the stuff asap.

I tried to get my kids to eat couscous and they didn't like it at all. Maybe I made it wrong? I'll have to try it again. That is awesome that you could 'hide' veggies in it!
