I'm not sure if you have been watching the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution, but it really makes you think about what you and your family are eating. He's not only concerned about what you are cooking for your child, but what the schools are feeding your child. Take a look at his website or watch one of his shows! Don't forget to sign his petition to make this country a healthier place for our children!
Dante is a picky eater and it's hard for us to find what he will eat healthy or not. Jamie Oliver says, as long as you make your food and it's not processed that's the way to go! So, a couple of days ago I made a chicken dish with broccoli and peaches over rice. I know Dante loves peaches, chicken and rice. Why wouldn't he like this healthy dish? WRONG! In a toddlers eyes mixing items together can ruin it.
Tonight, Dantes made spaghetti with meatballs and green beans. Unfortunately, the sauce is not homemade (that will be our next goal), but the good news is Dante ate it! He added a vegetable that we knew Dante liked and now we can say Dante likes spaghetti. It makes us happy we can add to Dante's "likes" on what he eats.
I still dont like to mix my food.
ReplyDeleteI have a spaghetti sauce recipe if you want it but I dont go mash my own home grown tomatoes. That is pretty hard core ;)
Thanks Connie, I would love the recipe!
