I agree on green bean casserole. We like broccoli casserole too as broccoli is a very healthy veggis plus tastes delicious this way. It isn't difficult to make either. Both can be made the day before.

Thanks for the nice comment! Broccoli casserole also sounds good, I wonder if my kids would eat it? I love Thanksgiving as there's always so much to choose from!


You're welcome. Broccoli casserole has always been popular to the children I've served it to. It has many delicious flavors that combine as well as textures.Letting them help prepare it as helpers (wash hands thoroughly and a teachable moment about why) encourages them to feel a sense of pride and also to taste it.

It's true that many people don't like plain broccoli, but I guess things are different based upon how children (and hence adults) are raised. I've taught children to say a short prayer of thanks as veggies were harvested somethings as simple as, "Thank you God for providing us with food, and thank you plant for growing for our bodies..." As they worked in the garden, they understood the beauty of the garden, and were braver about flavors.

I actually knew a family that taught that salad was dessert, and hence the kids knew no differently and loved it.
