Since the twins liked goat milk yogurt I decided to let them try sheep's milk yogurt. Nothing odd or 'off' about it - the kids didn't notice anything different and when I tasted it neither did I.
Colocasia is the only vegetable the twins get to eat fried. For now at least. Cooked in a liquid they tend to be slimy which the twins absolutely hate. A traditional Indian recipe calls for them to be stewed in tamarind which reduces the slimy-ness. The stew though is spicy and the twins are not at that spice level yet.
The twins liked the flavor of blackberries but not the texture. Both of them would eagerly pop a berry, chew on it and then spit it out. This went on for some time till my son figured out it was more fun squishing them and smearing the goo all over. A couple of minutes later his sister caught on and that was the end of that. I will re-introduce them towards the end of summer.
Another cereal to add to the kids list of snacks and finger foods. These corn crunch-ems from Health Valley have 2 grams of sugar and zero fats. They are also made with all natural ingredients and have no artificial preservatives. They are small and crunchy, and break down easily when the kids munch on them.
Like the gorilla munch, these peanut butter pows are really hard. Even after soaking in milk for an extended period of time. The twins could not eat them - will re-introduce them later sometime. 
One more soup to try to sneak protein into their diet. This Moroccan chickpea bisque is a big hit with everyone.
The twins have never liked milk and my daughter has not been finishing the one bottle she gets before bed. To make sure they get enough protein I have been looking into ways to sneak it in. Since I am going through a soup phase I searched and found this creamy sweet pea soup from Imagine Foods.
I like to snack on roasted seasoned edamame. Since the twins cannot eat the hard roasted ones I decided to pressure cook (steaming works too) these shelled soybeans and offer them as a snack.
I had no idea rhubarb was that tart. I mean I have had rhubarb pie and jam before but that was it. I never even knew what it actually looked like.
There is a whole world out there of fruit butters. They are different from conventional jams/jellies in that they have less added sugar, (works for me!) are creamy and spreadable at room temperature, (just like butter and hence the name) and traditionally the fruits are used whole (except the seeds/pits.)
My daughter loves to eat 'buggies.' She ate up the pieces of kiwi with glee calling the little black seeds 'buggie, buggie.' I want my kids to be adventurous eaters but I am not so sure about her fascination with eating insects.
My daughter really likes raspberries and she eats them straight - no honey, graham cracker coating or anything. In fact when I gave them a 'fruit salad' of strawberry, raspberry, papaya and mango bits, she picked out and ate all the raspberries and yelled for more. To her brother they are just some interesting fruit that are acceptable to eat.
The twins really like sweet potatoes but I don't know what to do about the fibers! I still have to puree them because the kids gag on the fibers if I fork-mash them.
This eggplant is the easiest one to find, but the kids have had about a half dozen different kinds of eggplant so far.
I wanted to branch out beyond honey sunshine and chocolate cheerios, and these peanut butter puffins from Barbara's looked good. They are big - I mean about 4 times the size of a honey sunshine. 
This Tangerine and Clementine fruit spread from Les Comtes De Provence is actually a marmalade - it even has bits of rind in it. I thought the bitter aftertaste might turn the twins off but it didn't. A teaspoon of it mixed in yogurt and they slurped down their dessert happily.
I use cashews sparingly even though everyone in the family likes them because of the high fat and cholesterol. So, when I saw that the nutrition information for this cashew carrot ginger soup from Pacific Foods has zero cholesterol, I thought maybe they figured out a way to remove the cholesterol from cashews now.
I think lychees are the most artificial-tasting natural fruit. Or at least that is what I remember from a couple of decades ago when I first and last ate them. I saw canned ones in a lot of Asian grocery stores but never bothered to buy them. This time though I wanted to see if I remembered the flavor right and also get the twins to try.
Even with 50% of it vegetable, this 50/50 passionfruit and carrot juice from Bolthouse Farms manages to pack in 28grams of sugar per serving. There is no added sugar but still…..I have started cutting back on Bolthouse Farm juices because of their high sugar content.
If they look like cheetos and taste like cheetos, then are they cheetos? I bought these lil' crunchies from Gerber because most of the snacks the twins eat are sweet and I wanted to add some healthy savory ones.
This Cantaloupe with vanilla fruit spread by Les Comtes de Provence is one of the best I ever had. It does not really taste like cantaloupe or vanilla and has 9 grams of sugar per tablespoon.
Uchuva, or Cape Gooseberry is one of those exotic superfruits which apparently has more fiber than figs, dates or prunes. 
This kefir from Helios is thicker (it blobs out when you pour)and more tart than the one from Lifeway. 
This Cherry bar from Betty Lou's has 23 grams of sugar. Also it has a ton of ingredients, the first of which is "Cherry Fruit Filling [Fruit Juice Concentrate (Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Apple), Cherries, Apple Powder, Tapioca Starch, Inulin, Natural Flavors, Water, Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Citric Acid, Red Cabbage Extract, Red Beet Juice Concentrate and Annatto for color.]"* An impulse buy while standing in line at the organic store, I was not happy with it. 
Another snack great for on the go and not loaded with sugar (8 grams for the whole bar.) This Oohmega cherry pie bar is made with all organic (and natural) ingredients and has 1000mg of omega-3s, so no complaints from me. No complaints from the twins either.
The potato leek soup made me want to try an actual bisque. This Black bean bisque from Imagine Bistro line is not so much a bisque but a paste. I actually scanned the entire carton twice to make sure it wasn't a condensed form of it. 
Another superfruit spread (they make 5 varieties) from Crofters - Acai, Morello Cherries, Pomegranate and Red Grapes. This does not have added sugar and is also tart. Other than spitting out the bits of cherry, the twins ate it mixed with yogurt without any complaints.
This superfruit spread from Crofter's has Maqui berries, Passionfruit, Morello Cherries and Red Grapes. It does have added (cane)sugar but only 7 grams of it per tbsp.
