Polka Dot Peas and Ribbons
10 Comments
OK Moms and Dads! If the kids are going to eat their vegetables, we have to make them taste good! Is the only way you’ve offered cooked carrots is chopped and sauteed? I have actually never enjoyed my carrots that way. If you are a “texture” person, like Erica (my 9 year old), cooked carrots are often too mushy, because of their size. These carrots are cooked, yet have no mushiness about them!
So first, some frozen peas (thawed), and as many carrots as you want to peel.

that looks so yummy and easy! i’m going to try it this week! thanks!
My daughter will love, love, love this. She’s the kid that picks all of the carrots out of her soup before eating the rest. My son and husband…hmmm…they’re much bigger fans of raw carrots than cooked ones. Still, it’s a minor victory around here if just one kids likes something! Can’t wait to try it!
this looks good, and a great idea to try. will be doing this very soon!
What a clever idea. My 11-year old doesn’t love carrots, but I think he’d really enjoy them this way. BTW, thanks for entering our waffle maker giveaway (you were the first person to enter!) and thanks for sharing your whole wheat waffle recipe (we linked to it in today’s post). We picked the winner randomly today, and a mom from VA won. This Wed., we’re offering the Rancho La Puerta cookbook as giveaway, so come visit us again!
This is a brilliant idea! I love it (and your daughters name ;))
I love the title of this dish!! I love polka-dots and ribbons so this is something I want to eat just based on the title! I’m not a fan of peas, but think I would eat them because they’re called something fun and not just peas and carrots! Goes to show, doesn’t it?! 🙂
