Meatless Cordon Bleu
You must know at least one kid that declared a war against a healthy vegetable. Once he’s there, it takes hard work and sometimes years until he will include that vegetable in his meals again.
Yeap, I too was that kid. My enemy? The carrot. Even now I can’t eat plain raw carrots. However, I have nothing against boiled or sautéed carrots. A lot of parents around here try to trick their kids into eating carrots by telling them that carrots help them whistle. I had my share of that story. What kid doesn’t want to whistle? When grandma told me the big secret I wanted to make sure my sacrifice won’t be in vain. Since she ate carrots pretty often I asked her to whistle. But there was a problem my friends: grandma couldn’t whistle. I was deceived :(. Years later the story repeated itself with my little cousin, but this time I was only a spectator with a bitter-sweet smile on my face.
In time though, I became more interested in nutrition facts and I couldn’t ignore the carrot’s benefits. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still very picky when the rabbits’ favourite comes into the picture, but I try to get my “recommended daily allowance” by including it in very tempting meals. The meatless cordon bleu serves my strategy well.
