I have really been trying to impose better health with my kiddos. For breakfast every morning this last month we pull up their little seats to the coffee table and pig out on apples, toast, blackberries and all sorts of good-for-you things. I realized the informality of the coffee table has added a bit of fun to breakfast and the kids are actually way more into it. Super fun! They have actually have gotten way more adventurous in what they will eat. When it comes to my cooking adventure I am pretty sure my kids think their mom is crazy for putting this ‘weird’ food in front of them, but they are starting to come around.
Tuesday I made a gorgonzola-apple quiche. It was very good and unexpected. It was also easy to make so a big plus in this crazy world.
On Wednesday I watched my sister’s baby for the first time while she is going back to work. It was a little crazy with my two kids dancing around and keeping a baby safe from their craziness. I did manage to put together a great asparagus soup. It was very tasty although I may have added a bit too much pepper. I really liked it though and it was super healthy. Abbey just hung out with me that afternoon and helped me make dinner. It made way more then I had planned so we invited my parents over too. We made hachis parmentier, or the French version of sheppard’s pie. It is beef and sausage cooked into a good scrumptiousness. Then you add mashed potatoes on top along with cheese and bake it up until it’s perfect. Very good. Of course, since it is essentially beef and potatoes, the guys loved it. We all did. We finished the quiche off from the night before as well. So funny though: we all just ate in the living room with the kids at the coffee table. Mason stands up and hits the corner of the plate and his food slingshots all over his face. It really was funny despite the mess it made.
