My cousin’s baby girl is turning 1 in a few days. When searching for a gift for her, I had a surprisingly difficult time.

1. These adorable T-shirts from Etsy: Happyfamily are perfect for the birthday boy or girl!

2. This adorable hand-knitted hat is perfect for the little monkey in your life. Monkey hat and fruit rattles from Cocoa Crayon.

You Tell Us: The Great Veggie Deception

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Chocolate avocado pudding. Grilled cheese-and-squash sandwiches. Spinach blueberry smoothies. What do all of these bizarre food combinations have in common? They are a part of the growing trend among the parents of picky eaters that involves “hiding” pureed fruits and vegetables in foods that their kids find more palatable.

If your three year old refuses to eat broccoli (or even smell it, look at it or sit at the table when it’s on his plate), these parents suggest slipping the lovely green vegetable into his chicken nuggets. There are several cookbooks dedicated to the subject out on the market today, and even food makers are catching on to the trend by offering juice, milk and frozen foods full of hidden nutrition.

This trend is so prevalent among parents today, in fact, that the LA Times published an article at the beginning of the summer weighing the pros and cons of hiding fruits and veggies in your kids’ meals. On the one hand, you can be sure they get the vitamins and minerals they need. On the other, you are deceiving your children, indulging in their fear of the unknown and possibly hindering their ability to make healthier choices later in life.

What do you think about slipping some squash into your child’s oatmeal? You tell us!

Fridays are for fun times dreaming about the weekend! So let’s get you started with these unusual finds on the Internet.

1. These colorful and unusually shaped products are called, “Whizz Kid Weeblock” and are from Bel Bambini. Can you figure out what they’re for? Yes, if you have a baby boy these washable cups keep you from getting wet during diaper changing.
