According to Robs, I have three options. Mackncheese, Sketti, or Pizza. Which doesn't give me a whole lot of wiggle room. In fact... it can be quite dangerous. For example... two days ago I made 'sketti.' As I was putting it in her bowl, lovingly dicing her noodles to the perfect size... she changed her order to 'Mackncheese.' I told her that our restauraunt doesn't work like that. She didn't like the answer, but still gave me a couple spoonfulls.
Pictured above is the lowest food on the totem pole, but still a valid option. We put peas and corn on the pizza... some might consider it gross- but Robs doesn't even notice. She just eats away while I relish that she's eating pizza in one sense... but in reality it's vegetables on a whole wheat pita with a sprinkling of cheese.
I've discovered that under such strict limitations, the genius, and the health nut in me flourishes! For much of my college career I studied, among other things- the effects of vegetables on human health. I'm realizing now, that in the past couple years, things haven't changed all that much, just shifted- now I study the effects of vegetables on the health of one adorable, pint-sized individual!
What a great idea! I guess I never really thought to do that before. Only I don't think Bauer would be fooled, I'd have to hide the veggies under the cheese to try to sneak it past him!
ReplyDeleteThat is so smart and sly! I love it! I've been lucky with Gavin. He BEGS for broccoli and mini cucumbers. In fact if I leave broccoli on the counter for a minute I will find him sneakily scarfing it down like its candy! I don't know why or how, but I'm not complaining! We also juice vegetables every morning and bribe him with a dumdum if he drinks it all. Sorry that I don't know this...Did you study nutrition?
