Small miracles


My daughter likes salad. Hooray! She requests it "without any vegetables" and I'm happy to oblige. See, I like everything under the sun in my salad - carrots, cucumbers, onion, tomato, olives, etc. - but she would prefer simply greens, croutons, and ranch dressing or a nice viniagrette. I'm happy giving her the "plain" salad because I have my own secret - 50% lovely mixed greens and 50% baby spinach. I feel so smart and savvy when serving this to my child who gags if she sees me add cooked spinach to a pasta dish. The only veggies I can convince her to eat on any regular basis are green beans and baby carrots, so this is truly a small miracle.

If I could just figure a way to puree squash into peanut butter . . .
