HEALTHY APPETITE

I feel like my boys are finally eating! I don't want to jinx it, but I am super excited. They still don't like trying things, and Jack is definitely better at exploring foods, but here is an example of our daily meals. And boy are these boys getting expensive too.


breakfast: 2 bowls of cheerios for breakfast! (adult bowls) one at 7 a.m. when they wake up and then one at 8:30 when I venture down for breakfast.

morning snack: banana, grapes, slice of bread-plain-so weird but that's how they like it.&  yogurt

lunch: two scrambled eggs, cheese, milk, or a grilled cheese sandwich, sometimes I resort back to hotdogs...in which case they eat two each with out buns of course.

afternoon snack: crackers and cheese...maybe popcorn

dinner: rice with soy sauce, meatballs in ketchup and green beans or carrots. this is still by far the hardest meal. And they won't eat anything but carrots and beans for vegetables...

So they're still not eating as healthy as I would like, but at least they are eating more than just hot dogs and cereal.

Tonight I am making a sesame chicken recipe with rice! It's in my crock pot and it smells delicious. I hope the boys like it. They usually eat chicken and this recipe calls for brown sugar so it's sure to be sweet!

  2. That is a lot better than last year! They always have 2 bowls of cereal at my house too, but they would never eat lunch or dinner... well unless I told them about something yummy after they eat some bites...
