Recipe

For my kids to eat healthily I always do yearn,

But veggies and whole wheat are foods that they spurn.

I have some tricks up my sleeve, I must confess,

To sneak in wholesome ingredients, so they’ll never guess!

Grated zucchini in meatballs can be disguised really well,

Replace bread crumbs with wheat germ and no one can tell.

For this oatmeal cookie recipe whole wheat flour you will use,

Add chocolate chips, nuts, craisins; whatever you choose!

After school my kids grab these when they race through the door,

Double the recipe; they’ll be asking for more!
