Kitchenista: Primordial Ooze

Posted by Adrienne Martini

Can't get your kids to eat any sort of fruit? Do said children like dinosaurs? Then I've got the answer for you.

Make your own dinosaur swamp, which features plastic dinos and a spin on guacamole that includes avocados and tofu. While it might look a little, um, oogy to adult eyes, some kids would really groove on the idea, especially if given dinosaur scales (plain triangular corn chips) to dip in the goo.

The mom who came up with used it for a whole Jurassic-themed birthday. But there's no reason why you couldn't just serve it on an ordinary Thursday. And if you're really feeling kicky, save the pit and use it as the asteroid that destroys this dino habitat.

or you could just have your kids finish thier veggies like i did when i was little instead of catering to them... Like my Memere always said, this is not a restaurant.

This sounds like a good idea to me, my 5 year old boy would love this idea. To "KM", this dip would be better than guacamole because tofu adds many nutrients and protein. To "Becky"--your comment makes me laugh! I can just picture you force feeding broccoli to your children (do you really have any because if you did, you'd know that you can't reasonably 'make' your child eat something...). Nothing sets a kid up for a lifetime love of veggies like shovin' em' down their throats! Hahahaha!
