The minestrone (page 64) includes a kid-friendly suggestion to use baby kale or spinach as those options are softer and sweeter than regular kale. In her Butternut Squash Shepherd’s Pie (page 152) she notes you can easily sub in sweet potatoes for the squash to create a slightly sweeter topping that might be more enjoyed by kids.
