Our son has a wheat intolerance and we've been searching for more answers for about a year. We've hadn't taken the Entero test yet b/c of cost and not knowing what to ask so this is really helpful. Our son seems to react to the GF oats, too, and we are about to test him at home again. Thanks again for sharing so much info and for all the links.

Hope you're having a great vacation too. And you will be proud, this past week while my in-laws were here I tried beets - my MIL loves them. She just boiled them and we put butter and S&P on them. Tasty! I want to try roasting them next. Thanks for encouraging me too! Thanks for the link love, Heidi! Hope you’re having a great vacation too.

That is what I aim to do, get people started and then make a recipe their own. And yours looks great. Either version, yours and mine, would work with other sweet root veggies. Like carrots and parsnips. On getting kids to try new things, I have seen so often the kids don't try because the parents don't. That is a tough one. In my own household, I didn't try new things until the kids were in grade school. It seemed to me, one of the kids didn't eat much of anything, and it was very distressing to me. I ended up putting a plant in the middle of the table. One big enough that I couldn't see what she was eating or not eating. I kept serving new things, but there was no nagging on my part, and dinner was more enjoyable. She didn't starve, and now as an adult, she eats everything. She is espcially fond of sushi, tofu, squash soup, dried beans, you name it. Some times you just need patience. I am so thrilled you riffed off my beet salad recipe.

And by trouble I mean cleaning the kitchen. I have no good feeding kids tips. My 3yo will eat most anything though she doesn't sit still so I have to chase her with food. My 6yo is very picky. Veggies and protein are a huge challenge. We have tried to have the just taste rule but it was a battle of wills and we decided it was more important to support the foods she does like and have a pleasant meal time.

I want to try that dressing!! I have yet to venture into the land of beets. I am in a veggie rut. Need to expand my territory. But I love love love certain foods and can just eat the same thing without ever growing tired of it. I know I need too reach a little!! As for picky kids, sometimes (not always I am sure) but sometimes it isn't the parents lack of trying. Kids are just super picky. We have done a similar rule in our house. Our son is a fairly good eater and will at least try his veggies. But, even with the rule in place, we have a lot of tears, gagging and yes vomit at the table from our girls. It's not a lack of trying on our part, they just get so worked up over even trying it! We are starting to think Liv might have sensory issues with texture. She would gag and vomit on baby food. Too this day texture is a major issue with her. Norah too will chew food up, store it in her cheeks and leave it there until the end of dinner. Then she begs to spit it out...and if we don't let her you can just use your imagination ;) So, yes, exposure from an early age is important. Parents pushing the issue is also so important. But I truly believe that some parents are just blessed with great eaters. My sister has one of each. They were both done the exact same way. Her youngest will eat anything you put in front of him, but her eldest is a whole other story. This is so long, and I haven't even offered a solution. But maybe some food for thought :) Looks so good Heidi! I want to try that dressing!! I have yet to venture into the land of beets. I am in a veggie rut. Need to expand my territory.
