Katie has recently decided that she doesn't want to eat green peppers. She has gotten very good at identifying peppers wherever they are in our food. I made my favorite dish today, chili, which absolutely requires green peppers.

I successfully got her to eat them!

Here's how: I put them in my food chopper, a la the Sneaky Chef. I didn't liquefy them completely, but they were pretty small pieces. I thought I had lost when I set it in front of her and she quickly and correctly identified them. First I tried to convince her that it was green meat (you never know what might work on a two-year-old), but she looked at me like I had lost my head. She finally tasted it when I told her I had chopped it up so small that she wouldn't be able to taste it. And she ate almost an entire bowl. Score!
