The Secret to Eating Green Beans


Ok, I first have to admit how much Morgan LOVES green beans, but not just any kind. It has to be her Nonnie's special green beans. And let's just face it, I don't cook, so they are definitely NOT going to have the special Southern seasoning my mom uses. I tried to warn my hungry daughter of this, but she persisted on eating the veggie. And just as I predicted, the food critic gave it a poor review. Not wanting to waste what the Good Lord had provided regardless if it came in a can from the grocery store, I reminded my daughter of the Danimal Crush Cups sitting in the refrigerator. That's the secret - the ability to squeeze a plastic cup so yogurt pops right out into your mouth... or around it as her photo so clearly shows. She (and Mason) loved the taste so much, they ran to the kitchen for spoons in order to scrap every last bit. What I find ironic is she ate green beans in order to get... not candy, not ice cream, not cake, but yogurt!!! Shhhhh! Don't tell her that's healthy and good for her too or I'll have to find another way to bribe her!

If you have a kid that willingly eats green beans, I say you bite the bullet and get your mom's secret recipe!
Love the yogurt pics.
