I have lots of recipes and pictures to post, but haven't had (ok, made) the time to sit down and type them all out. But, I did just want to give a quick update. We've added meat once a week, Kyle and the kids eat eggs a few times a week (they make my stomach hurt), and we use real butter in small amounts. We're still eating lots of fruits, vegetables, and beans...gassy. Haha.
BUT! IT IS WORKING. One of my biggest frustrations has been that the kids don't eat their food. I don't want them to be hungry and I don't like wasting food and money! A few nights ago Esther asked for more broccoli. Whaaa?? That has never happened before! And at lunch she skipped her peanut butter and honey sandwich and kept asking for more apples! Isaac actually said, "this is really good" to a couple of new dinners I made. I guess this just confirms that repeated exposure is the key. If we keep only giving healthy food options, over time kids will try it and then acquire a taste for it! I know, duh.
