Hidden Veg Pasta Sauce As a pediatric dietitian, I am constantly reminding parents and caregivers of the utmost importance of repeated exposure, especially for fussy eaters. Why? Because research shows that the more they see a new food, the more they become familiar and comfortable with it. And familiarity leads to acceptance! But does hiding or sneaking in vegetables really count as exposure? Not really if you want your child to chomp on a raw or cooked vegetable in its whole form....

I’m starting to regret the decision of giving myself just a week to study hardcore for the registered dietitian exam. There’s wayy too much information to absorb (4 domains total…I can’t seem to move beyond the foodservice and management portion), and I get so easily distracted.
