Dina Deleasa Instagram – The way she says “Oookaaay” is still exactly the same!!! And this strawberry salad is still a family favorite. The ingredients and dressing recipe is below!
This is for the OG DishItGirl crew- In honor of the impending holiday I thought this deserved to be let out of the vault! This video is from a little Mommy and Me series I did awhile back with my favorite Sous Chef. Siena and I ate all of our meals together until she went to preschool. Sometimes she would end up grabbing things off my plate. I think eating with her often encouraged her to try new things because she wanted to do what I was doing. Not the case anymore, but while she was little, it worked! So often when I would cook I would structure our meals with this in mind. I would take the adult version and deconstruct it on her plate. Make it a bit more kid friendly without it being total “kid food.”
Now she gags over grilled cheese but will eat broccoli. It seems they all go through picky stages, she’s been in one for about the past two years! What is one meal you and your kids can both enjoy together?!
10 oz of baby spinach and butter lettuce or mixed greens
1 cup strawberries, sliced
