Today’s meal ideas came from my kids mouths themselves. I asked each one what their favorite foods were to compile a week of their favorite meals. Then I got online to research “healthier versions” of their favorite foods. It’s almost embarrassing how they came up with typical kid junk-fare. I remind them they are supposed to be the “Super Healthy Kids”. They are supposed to be an example to children all over the world that they love to eat healthy foods.” Nate, my 11 year old smart aleck, said, “Tell your readers my favorite breakfast food is candy.”
So, in purple is what my kids asked for, and below it, what we are really going to eat. I love being the mom!
