Perhaps the kiddies will only enjoy the Green beans from the mix of vegetables but its worth putting a selection on their plate! Remember that as we grow our palate changes and what the kids enjoy one day is not the same the next! The trick is to keep trying and if they don’t enjoy the vegetables well then there are leftovers for mum and dad! 🙂
For the kiddies – You can also replace the Brussel sprouts and kale with green peas and baby carrots or corn!
