Corn Crazy
Sweet corn is a vegetable, but kids don't seem to hold that against it. On or off the cob, they dig in -- getting vitamin A, folate, and potassium along the way. While corn tastes great plain, leverage your kid's preference by pairing it with less-familiar foods. "Since kids feel comfortable eating corn, take advantage of it to introduce other foods and flavors," suggests Craig Johnston, Ph.D. assistant professor of pediatrics-nutrition at Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston. Our recipes use corn as a gateway to get kids to try protein-packed edamame, vitamin C-rich bell peppers, whole-grain cornmeal, and more. Think of it as the start of some a-maize-ing things.
