Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta fools my picky eater

If you are a parent of a picky eater I'm certain you tire of the nightly routine sometimes required to get your kids to eat nutrient-rich foods? My daughter is the "picky one" among our 5 and I suspect one of the twins is heading down that path as well. Even the slightest change in how a food looks is enough to get her to flat out refuse to even try the item. She's improved greatly over the past few years, but she certainly still has her quirks.

The New Ronzoni Smart Taste with Vitamin D pasta was clearly made with a child like my Cordelia in mind. It contains three times the fiber of regular white pasta and the same amount of calcium as an eight-ounce glass of milk, and is now an excellent source of Vitamin D. The "key" though is that it looks and tastes just like traditional white pasta, so kids will never know the difference. 

I'm happy to report that the samples sent to us passed the "Cordelia" food test. She did not detect a difference in the pasta and gobbled it up without delay.

Below is a humorous video of everything one mom goes through to get her kids to eat healthy. It made me laugh and I thought you might enjoy it too.
