Recipe of the Week: Child's Play from Busy Dad
We’ve enjoyed offering a parent’s perspective here on the Mushroom Channel from time to time. Why it’s important to incorporate mushrooms into a child’s diet, ways that families have found they can enjoy mushroom-inclusive meals, tips for picky palates, etc. In fact, I can safely say we’ll be continuing to look for advice from Moms and Dads in those areas. That said?
Seeing Busy Dad’s 7 year old, “Fury”, request and cook sauteed mushrooms to go on top of his burger was probably the highlight of my week (he was supervised). I like it because it shows how easy it is to plus up a meal from both a taste and health perspective and it shows that despite what you may have heard, kids like mushrooms.
I’m not denying the existence of picky eaters in the least. My brother, for one, would not eat anything without ketchup and/or applesauce on it from ages 3-8. But I think the general idea is that if you have a child in the kitchen, letting them help to make nutritious meals from “whole foods”? You’ll be surprised by what starts to appear on their “favorite foods” list.
