Zucchini Pancakes

Zucchini Pancakes is a simple recipe for vegetables you can use to trick your kids into eating their vegetables. Pretend you are creating a recipe (knowing the ingredients ahead of time) and let the kids find things to put into it. Give them choices like, “which cheese do you think would cook better?” and “Which herbs do you think would mix with this vegetable?” Then let them smell the herbs and make the choices. Inventing something is more inviting to having them try it. Explain why you put eggs into the pancakes and what different oils and fats there are to cook with and which can be heated, etc. Then let them tell you which fat to cook the pancakes in. It worked for me with my step kids (once!)
