vegetable cake

E has been required to eat vegetables every night this week and has earned 20 stickers on her chart. This means we're going to make a cake in the morning! (Not really a vegetable cake.) Tonight she tried a piece of raw mushroom (after scraping off the dark brown part under the cap) and a piece of lettuce, which took forever to chew and distressed her greatly. She has eaten sweet potatoes with marshmallows, baby carrots drenched in honey, single garden peas sandwiched between slices of hot dog, and corn mixed into her scrambled eggs. She actually eats corn quite happily now, very proud of herself for eating something that's "on the healthy list" that they have up at preschool. She still doesn't LIKE anything green but at least she knows she can get it down and "be brave".
