Peter was this way for a long time. He ...Hey Lori,<br />Peter was this way for a long time. He finally caved when I'd make pancakes, but he is still sometimes reluctant to give up his beloved Frosted Mini Wheats for something else. I don't understand the appeal of Frosted Mini Wheats to begin with, so it can be frustrating. I try not to push too much, and just enjoy all the breakfast left for me! No need to cause a battle of wills, I think. Good luck! I'll be interested in hearing if things change for you and your advice!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831950968587468914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906359190789382627.post-61646138879633389562010-04-01T03:58:34.949-07:002010-04-01T03:58:34.949-07:00What do you do when your kids go on one food only ...What do you do when your kids go on one food only kicks? Holly lately throws a fit if breakfast isn't Cheerios and blueberries. Reasonably healthy I think, but I looked at your list and felt even more desperate for some variety. She's better at other meals though. She especially likes the veggies if they are frozen. Frozen peas and green beans are the best.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081448659266890958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906359190789382627.post-34753637304619485182010-03-26T07:41:11.384-07:002010-03-26T07:41:11.384-07:00I want you to be my mother and pack me lunch.

I would be super grateful.<br /><br />I, too, often serve the veggies first as "the appetizer" and Orion, hungry, eats it all up!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01048263065297314720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906359190789382627.post-44729172819933144682010-03-25T21:06:07.181-07:002010-03-25T21:06:07.181-07:00I need to do better in this dept.

I do always serve veggies or cut fruit first and alone before anything else, and that always ensures at least a good start. I totally think you have to start young though; I've been tending a 7-yr old nephew this week and he won't eat ANYTHING that isn't junkish b/c his parents just never worked at it, and now he's old enough that he'll just go hungry if he doesn't like the options b/c he can always find a fruit snack or juice or something at school/a friends. Thanks for the reminder :)*Leslie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06345109446756788146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906359190789382627.post-56535255707443827522010-03-24T20:58:09.869-07:002010-03-24T20:58:09.869-07:00Yes! And another Yes! I totally agree. I too am...Yes! And another Yes! I totally agree. I too am passionate about eating REAL food. I love that Jamie Oliver is starting this "food revolution". I was put on a good diet when I was a little girl because of some health problems, and since then it has just become a habit to try and eat wholesome foods. I'm definitely not perfect, but have just found that eating good is a way of life for me. When I eat crappy, I feel crappy. I'm sure our kids feel the same way when we give them kool-aid, cheetos, and candy all day long. I think the key is to start young with our children. You are doing such great things with Pete! I also think there is a balance though. I have to be careful not to deprive William of ALL junk food and sugary treats or else he will probably become a closet candy eater! I don't keep much junk food at home, so this way I feel better about feeding him desserts I make and all the treats he gets outside of the home. Food is so wonderful. Thanks for your inspiring post!Cortneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549074618828054619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906359190789382627.post-27716486416251088042010-03-23T19:30:04.480-07:002010-03-23T19:30:04.480-07:00This is inspiring!

A few healthy favorites of Kate's are edamame (i think it's the fun factor with popping the seeds out), most fruits, and I try hummus--although she's moody about it. One of my favorites that Kate won't go for is a tofu smoothie for breakfast. I use banana, frozen berries, a square of tofu (usually 1/4 or smaller of the package) and vanilla soymilk. I'll also add chard or spinach sometimes and once you get over the green factor, it's delicious! We just started getting a CSA box and it's caused me to be a bit more adventurous with our vegetables. Oh, and avacado! Both kids love it. Be sure to share any recipes that Peter loves!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428020707605586089noreply@blogger.com
