How to get a 5 year old to eat scrambled eggs.

Maybe you don't have this problem, but I do. R will not eat scrambled eggs. He eats the bacon or sausage, then he is miraculously full. Well, today is a bacon and eggs kind of day, and I had an idea...MAGIC EGGS!!! Yep, that's right! I made my son magic eggs. I think the magic part was he ate them all and asked for seconds! He also said they were the best eggs he ever had. He posed for this picture, so I had to use it, even though it isn't my favorite!
Recipe: Eggs Food coloring First crack 2 eggs into a small bowl. Add food coloring. This time I chose red, and added too much...it actually looked like blood. Scramble the eggs for a few minutes, then add more, non food colored eggs. Mix it all together, and cook until the scrambled eggs are done to your liking. Ta-dah! Magic eggs! Or flamingo eggs as my hubby called them. Either way, my son at them all and asked for more!

Great idea! I didn't have that problem but I would trick my kids into eating their veggies by adding them to their scrambled eggs and other foods. Sure they would pick some out but some got into the tummy! Now I don't have that problem. They all love veggies now :-)
