Thanks for the help! I appreciate it and I’m definitely going to try it.

Also, if my kids don’t want to even try what we’re having, they get to have a piece of dry toast instead. Because I’m mean like that!

Rachel,

Thanks for your question. As far as feeding the kids, it’s a gradual process. With my youngest I threw caution to the wind and I never really gave him any “kid” food to get used to. He just eats what I eat and it’s working out great. My oldest is the hardest, but when I get him involved in the cooking and prep process he’s more likely to eat it. The rule in our house is you just have to try it, you don’t have to eat it. If you don’t like what is for dinner and you try it and still don’t like it you can have a PB&J sandwich for dinner instead. Experts say it takes on average 12 -15 attempts for a young child to get used to a food, they have way more taste buds than adults, so keep on trying!!!

Good luck!

Stir fry really is the only way I can get my parents to eat veggies. This looks delicious!

I learned that,too.

Kids will eat their veggies if they’re still crunchy. I think the mushy just is too freaky for them, youknow?

Plus, the great smell of the wok makes them READY for dinner.

Lovely pix.

This sounds yummy. My sister does stir fry all the time. I know it doesn’t look hard, but it still intimidates me.

I am always in the market for a good stir fry! We eat stir fry a lot and it is such a great way to get the veggies in!

Cheryl, to answer you question the trick to cornstarch is to mix it with COLD water before you pour it into your sauce, that way it won’t clump and it’ll thicken nicely. Be sure back the heat off when you add it as well. See if that does the trick.
