Lunch Date

Today I met Tim for lunch at the only place we can afford now that we are paying an arm and two legs for daycare for the girls. Lucky for me, that place happens to be one of my favorite…the Sam’s Club Café. Only $3.73 got us two huge hotdogs and two huge drinks, plus a foot and a half long churro to share for dessert. Anyways, this was my first churro experience so Tim thought he might be able to make fun of me for never having tried a churro before. Then I kindly reminded him of the multitudes of food I had introduced him to, all of which I might add are more tasty than the churro was. Did you know Tim had never to his knowledge tasted the following foods until he met me?

1. An elephant ear
2. A funnel cake
3. Pork Tenderloin sandwich
4. Chubby Hubby Ice Cream

You know, all the good foods in the world. The list could go on but I don’t want to embarrass him too much….

Speaking of food, I’m going to try and get more fruits and vegetables into Annie this summer. It seems like her diet mainly consists of dairy products and chicken nuggets. We've already replaced popsicles with yogurt and berry popsicles. I borrowed a book from the library that has recipes where you puree the veggies and then hide them in favorite foods…for example – puree cauliflower and mix it into mac and cheese. Or puree strawberries and mix it in with her milk. I’m sure she will go crazy for that. She loves milk and the color pink so much, I’m sure she will flip over pink tinted milk. I might start added purees to my foods, I’m not a big veggie eater myself. I am a little worried that if I trick her into eating veggies she’ll never eat them when they aren't hidden.
