And finally for those of you concerned about eating food dyes:

mine loved their veggies - it is all a matter of what they are used to being
offered. Even by school age, class parties with a platter of veggies and
some ranch dressing for dipping (you could do a green goddess dressing or
something, colored with the parsley) were actually far more popular than the
platter of cookies and cakes - seriously - even the kids who probably were
not raised eating those veggies as snacks were more interested in the
carrots and broccoli - they have good instincts!  That being said, you could
always put some green in cream cheese and put that in celery boats or
something gross (the green) like that. I for one would urge you to avoid the
artificial colors though (I used to make green decorative sugar by mixing
spinach juice in with sugar - it did make pretty cookie decoration) - see
www.feingold.org if you need any convincing that that stuff is poison (some
of it can even be used as pesticide! and it definitely makes some kids
hyperactive/ADD/ADHD).
Good luck!
Hilary
p.s. why does everyone take the green side, anyway? throw in some orange (s)
while you are at it!!
