It didn't take me long to get started on my quest to eat better. This morning, I made the boys eggs for breakfast and they shared an apple. I did not eat a very healthy breakfast, but I did make up for it at lunchtime. I bought some romaine lettuce (an actual bunch, not prebagged), boiled some eggs, and threw some veggies on it. I am most proud of dinner. I made my own alfredo sauce using heavy cream, freshly grated parmesean cheese, garlic and butter. Fattening? Yes. Delicious? Yes! Processed? No! I made grilled chicken and served it over gluten free fettucine.
My biggest problem with dinner was that the boys did not eat much of it. They didn't like it. I guess I'm not surprised, everything was fresh and not processed. I think that if I had added broccoli to it they would have been more inclined to eat it.
Tomorrow's project is to attempt to make my own "punch" (peach) yogurt. My husband froze some peach halves over the summer and I bought some Greek yogurt today. I will steam the peach, puree it, and add some honey for a little sweetness. My youngest son loves punch yogurt, so I hope he likes this one as well.
Question: How do I get my children to eat better? How do I transition away from processed kid food and toward healthier options?
