A little while back, a Facebook friend asked me: What groceries would you buy each week if you only had $50 to spend and had picky eaters to please? Honestly, picky eating is not allowed in my house. I am not cruel about it but everyone is served the same food. I might set [...]
Family Fondue Dinner
My children love dip. The day our pediatrician recommended giving Lira ranch dip to encourage her to eat her vegetables truly changed our lives. Recently, I was thinking about how much I love The Melting Pot… even though I have only been once in my life and it was almost ten years ago. Fond memories. [...]

We sat around the table making a list of foods that are both red and green. Then, we had to think about what would make a nutritious, well-rounded meal. The final selections [...]

How to Get Your Kids to Eat Vegetables
My children will only eat raw vegetables but that’s a good thing, right? It has not always been this way.

Serve vegetables with a dipping sauce. [...]

Taste Test: A is for Apple
Somewhere last week, I read about a family doing an apple taste test. What a great idea! I went searching to see who it was and for the life of me cannot find it anywhere! UGH! So, my apologies to you, whomever you are, because I really want to pay respects but did not take very [...]
