What a win; bell peppers for the victory! I love how you kept experimenting and gave her space to explore the new flavour on her own terms. In my last post, I actually wrote about how kids are much more likely to try something new when it’s paired with something familiar. This story is such a perfect example of that in action. I’m all about helping little ones get involved in the kitchen, too - it’s amazing how a bit of ownership (and maybe a pear bribe) can make all the difference.

I shamelessly used a little bribing back in the day. Glad the yellow peppers were a hit!

Also, huge yes to pan-fried halloumi—one of my favs!

It really shouldn't have been such a problem ingredient! Which was why the win feels so sweet
