It's funny... Little Miss can still be so finicky and picky about foods. Some things, I'm glad she dislikes and other things I just shake my head at.
Just a couple examples -
Glad about: She does not like soda, at all.
Glad about: She does not like koolaids or sweet sugary juices, at all.
Shake my head: She does not like toast, but will eat toasted/ grilled sandwiches.
Shake my head: She will only eat waffles if I make them "dippable", covered in something, or turned into a sandwich.
Being that I love the occasional waffle, especially blueberry, I'm thankful for Van's Gluten Free waffles since they are dairy, egg, tree nut, peanut, and corn free. I can keep them in the freezer and get my fix when needed. ;) They also make great lunch options for kids too!
September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
A fun excuse of a day to go around today and... talk like a pirate!
Little Miss gets a kick out of it each year. Last year, we had a little Tampa Bay Buccaneers fun in Piratey themed lunch box.
Went for a much simpler approach this year ;) Plus, I'm not sure you've noticed, but I've been trying to steer away from as much artificial colors and added gunk as possible (it happens sometimes, but I don't need to add fuel to the fire - so to speak).
Avast! Here be the midday meal fer me girl offsprin' (See pirate talk is fun, hehe):
When we have {gluten free} spaghetti for dinner, Little Miss loves when I make "garlicky toast" (as she calls it) along side.
I typically make our garlic bread by toasting in the oven Udi's bread and/or bun slices (whatever is handy), add Earth Balance spread, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning.
Little Miss takes her slices and forks her spaghetti right on top of the slice eating it like an open faced sandwich. That's her absolute favorite way to eat it. Whyyyy it never occurred to me to pack up leftovers that way for her school lunch until now, is beyond me... but when I asked her if that's what she wanted, she gave a very excited "YES!" in reply.
