Branching Out

The kids are really starting to eat better - trying new things, eating some vegetables, and not begging for treats (OK, so they beg, but they also understand that a treat will come if they eat something decent first).

They both have learned about how important "something healthy" is as a part of every meal. Owen often asks for a cheese, applesauce, or "healthy snack" when he gets home.

But tonight...I made a new chicken enchilada casserole. It had diced chicken, tomatoes, onions, and olives. Each of which usually results in turned up noses on any given night. This time, they both ate a reasonably large portion of both the enchilada and the rice!

I should add that they covered it in sour cream...oh well, baby steps.
