Kenya is a great eater. In fact, he eats just about everything I put in front of him. Having said that, he is a toddler and of course there are days when he requires a little (or a lot of) nudging.
On those occasions, I make a game of it. I love to take broccoli, asparagus and especially green beans and get Kenya to pretend our teeth are little chewing machines. We "turn on our motors" and chew up our food, watching it all disappear (maybe we'll do a visual demonstration for one of the Friday videos).
For the holidays, I knew this dish would be a huge hit for our "machines" to chew. Green beans are plentiful at the farmers market right now. Just by sautéing a bit of bacon and adding a dash of honey and Worcestershire sauce to green beans, you can turn a simple side dish into something special that everyone will love -- no nudging needed.
