Lentil stew disaster

Cooked a lovely and health red lentil stew for the children, with onions, carrots, garlic, spinach and peas, with a bit of Garam Masala to get them used to spices... I felt so virtuous to be cooking something like that while working at the same time (the advantages of working from home...). But I don't think I have ever seen them so determined not to eat something! We managed to get Daniel to eat five spoonfuls, using bribery... Maria just spat it out...

I've realised that I have not been giving them many stews or soups, so that was an attempt to reddress that. Both Daniel and Maria used to really enjoy pureed lentil stews when they were babies. So, I will try again... Maybe I shouldn't give it to them when they get back from nursery, as they both have lots of mid-afternoon snacks, in there. I should starve them and then give it to them... how cruel!

Tonight they have chicken with a mushroom sauce served with pasta... I bet they'll go for that!
