Kids starving but dinner not ready yet?

Who hasn't had one or more children hanging off them 20 minutes before dinner is ready saying "I'm hungry". Rather than give them something that will prevent them from digging into their lovingly prepared dinner you have just been slaving over, I always use it as an opportunity to get in a few more veges. If they refuse them, then they weren't that hungry!

My favourites are:
carrot sticks
celery sticks
capsicum bracelets (cut into rings)
cucumber rings
bowl of frozen peas (my daughter only eats frozen peas)

You will be pleasantly surprised at the outcome of offering veges, instead of other things like crackers, fruit and cheese.
