Ok, so my 20month old son *finally* ate yellow squash tonight. Yeah! I've tried fixing it every way I know how, creamy, cheesy, baked, mashed. He always spits it out. Tonight I "frittered" it and he loved it. He ate 3 fritters, roast beef with ketchup, half an avocado and 5 grapes. It blows me away how much he can pack in there. It's not like I give him a lot to begin with, he just keeps asking for more! We don't fry food much at our house, but if it gets him to eat his yellow veggies, then so be it!
Here is my version of squash fritters. If you're not from the south, this might be a bit new, but it's pretty yummy!
