Nowadays, most kids don’t want to eat vegetables. They would like to eat junk food which is not good for their health. Their mammas worry about their eating habits. I have two daughters, one is 6 years old and the second is 6 months old. My older one doesn’t want to eat vegetables, so I am always trying to make something special for her according to her taste, eg. She likes to eat sweet pancakes, made with white flour. So I created a new recipe for her which also looks like pancakes but it is different and healthy. This recipe is full of veggies and very delicious. My daughter loves these super soft vegetable pancakes. Every mom has to try this recipe for her kids, let’s have a look…
