Do you ever give funny names to foods, to encourage your kids to eat them?
Pookie does not like Bratwurst, but he loves “Football Hotdogs” , so named because Daddy eats them at the football games.
Neither kid likes Baked Sweet Potato Slices, but they love “Orange French Fries.”
Prunes are yucky, but gosh how they love those “Giant Raisins.”
Hard Boiled Eggs are also yucky, but not when you call them “Easter Eggs.”
Boca Burgers go down easier when called “Krabby Patties.”
Breaded Chicken Cutlets are just plain funny when you call them Chicken Boogers (”burgers”). Everyone gets the joke and is so busy laughing, they forget to complain.
I tried the Broccoli as “Little Green Trees” one, but no one fell for it. That surprised me. Know of any other good ones?

My daughter doesn’t like mushrooms but I got her to eat cream of mushroom soup by calling it “milk soup” when she was younger and she loved it.
She caught on about a year ago and wont eat it anymore since she realized there are mushrooms in it LOL!

Oh, I like that one. I tried “Yogurt Milkshake” for a mixture of yogurt and skim milk, but they did not fall for it. I like it, though.
