Get your kids to smash these veggies, and they’ll want to eat them too!
Give each child a heavy weight ziplock bag, quart size. Distribute into each bag:
- 2 medium-sized boiled potatoes in skins, still hot
- 1 4 x 6″ piece of cooked squash, peel removed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup dairy: sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt or cream (in any combination)
To season, add to bag:
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- dash of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of any seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley
Zip the bag tightly shut, and now the fun begins! Smash and squash and squish the hot bag with your hands to mix the ingredients. When all the colors are blended, and everything is mixed thoroughly, open a small section of the ziplock and squeeze the contents onto your plate. Bag makes enough for a child to share some with a parent too.
Enjoy!

Diane, Thank you so much for all your information. Do you have any tips for the child who just refuses to do their work? Only math, she just hates it. Once we get going she is okay, but to get her to do it, well it has become a battle of the wills. She is very good at math once she applies herself. The simple math seems the hardest, the mental math. The harder the easier.
