[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Because you're not doing your kids any favors by showing them that brownies and cookies are snacks. They don't know that the brownie at the bakery isn't a black bean brownie. As they get older, their memory is that they at brownies as snacks. Better to get them to like black beans on their own and not disguised in food. I get why you'd do this--especially if you have picky eaters who need nutrients they aren't getting on their own--but I don't think it's a great idea to dress a snack up like a treat. I don't know your situation, so you may need to do this to get your kids the nutrients they need, but in general, I disagree with this approach. [/quote] Assuming normal intelligence, just how long do you think it will be before your kids figure out that brownies and cookies are snacks or treats? You might keep a 2-year-old in the dark, but by the time s/he is four and having playdates, s/he will be firmly on the bandwagon![/quote]
