Picky Eaters

My kids do not like to eat anything unless it is deep fried or covered in sugar (syrup counts under this) or a combination of both. Tonight I was able to trick my daughter into trying tomato soup. I put it in an orange plastic cup with a straw. It's a trick I learned from a friend. I mention that the cup was orange because this way she could not see what it was. She tried it once and was mad about the trickery but soon realized she likes it. It was so nice to add another thing to the list of approved foods for her. She especially loved dipping her grilled cheese in it and then adding goldfish crackers.

If only I could put food in an orange cup and be fooled.
