>> Hi Barbara.  I know you said your boys like meat.  Maybe you could try

>> take a pound of ground beef or turkey, put in some veggie purees--I added
>> spinach and squash--a couple of eggs, and enough oatmeal or bread crumbs

>> As far as purees to add to rice, pumpkin comes to mind.  You can get it

>> into the rice.  You could do the same with sweet potato, which also comes

>> any
>> kind of a winter squash like butternut or acorn, which would all make 
>> nice
>> purees, just cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and place the
>> halves cut side down in a pan with a little water in the bottom.  Bake
>> them till the squash is tender and comes off the rind easily.
>>
>> I would think you could add mashed banana, pureed pear or peach, or even
>> grated apples or carrots to rice.  Cooked carrots mash nicely if the kids
>> won't eat the raw grated ones because of the texture.
>>
>> I hope some of these ideas work.  I'll keep thinking.
