It’s almost dinner time, the kids are doing homework, and everyone is a little grouchy. A crudite tray is my solution to this problem. I always try to keep fresh fruit and veggies sliced so I can place them out as dinner times approaches. My kids know that they are allowed to come to the table and munch away as I finish up dinner. This keeps them from whining before dinner, and it also fills them up on a variety of fruits and veggies so we are not battling over eating them during dinner. I am sometimes asked how I get my kids to eat vegetables. This is one of the best solutions I have!
