Another green bakes from my kitchen, spinach loaf bread. Lately my hubby used to buy spinach. Its' price is about the same as other vegetables eg bok choy (小白菜) and choy sum(菜心) . Not because spinach is cheaper nowadays. Other ordinary vegetables price increase! Sometimes our local vegetables price about the same as imported! I'm not sure is it due to bad weather or inflation.
I will try to add vegetables inside my bakes. I try to get my kids eat
vegetables. My older son has no problem of having green. But the younger one
always fussy when some vegetables on his plate. For him green = not nice! I try
to educate him vegetables are not horrible that he thought. I will ask him how
is his sandwich taste every time I adding green. Then I will tell him type of
vegetables added. Hope I able to get him accept green in his meals.
