1 Picky Eaters, Ranch Dressing & A Cause for Kids


As a child, I was a picky eater.  Hmmmm....I'm still a picky eater, but nowhere near what I was as a child.  When I was younger, my diet consisted of Cheerios, Jelly sandwiches (no peanut butter), and whatever I could pick out of dinner that night.  Fruit and veggies made it to my plate, but never to my mouth.

My mom desperately tried to get me to eat a variety of veggies.  She succeeded with corn (off the cob), and buttered carrots, but peas and any other green veggie simply stayed on my plate.  I remember looking at a single iceberg lettuce leaf and thinking, "people eat leaves??"  I took a bite and all I could remember was that it was bland and bitter.



I sprinkled a little bit of salt on it and took another bite.  Okay, that's a little bit better.  I ate my lettuce leaves this way until I discovered .....

Oh, I had never tasted anything so good!  Score one for my mom!  Score another point for Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing!

Next, I was able to try this:





Raw carrots with Ranch Dressing!

I give credit to this dressing as the one ingredient that has helped me eat more veggies and can help your kids eat healthier, too!

The Hidden Valley® Original Ranch®, dressings & dips has provided me with free product to help with my review, but anything I receive from Hidden Valley does not affect my thoughts on its company or their product.

  1. My kids don't like any condiments, with the exception of my 17-yo, who will eat catsup...only. No mayo, mustard, Miracle Whip, or Ranch dressing. Strange children!
