The relationship between my kids and food is, well, just frustrating. I know most young 2-4 year olds are much the same way. How in the heck do you get them to eat? Breakfast has been our thing lately. Kinda fun. I made goat cheese and strawberry tartine for me, or Brie cheese with apples and crackers. The kids love toast with Cinnamon and sugar and apples. Kenna likes apples with ranch dressing. It's weird, but at least she eats it all. We all camp out together, eat together and its been fun.
On a not so good note, the kiddos had bad, bad colds last week and with no sleep motivation was not so high. I still got in a couple of meals. I made fresh orange pork tenderloin with broth-braised potatoes and wild rice for my mom's birthday. Everyone came over for the party and it was great. I love how food brings people together. I made pumpkin-Gorgonzola flans and spinach salads with everyday vinaigrette. I had hoped the flans would taste as good as the picture looked, but k the American in me was expecting something a little sweeter. Next time I think it will need some brown sugar.
Considering the craziness of a week with sick kids I think i did ok with my cooking adventure. Energized? I would say no, but organized enough at least to get a few recipes out on the table and some great time with the family.
