There are like 2,984 reasons why I’m excited to be going home for Christmas, but one specific reason is for the food! Being that it’s just me and Zack for meals sometimes we miss out on great family dishes. But… I love to cook so Zack and I have come up with some of our own family dishes :) Ohhhh, yes we have.

I love when he takes one bite of something and says OHHHH man, you have to make this again. This is my new favorite!

He makes me light up like a Macy’s window display at Christmastime.

I found this article a few months ago and have kept it in my secret file ever since ;) I know my oldest nephew, Collin is a super great eater. He even asks for dessert… hah! My second and youngest nephew, Jack Riley, will be turning 2 in a few months so I’m not sure where he’s at now with food. Last I saw him he was about 16-months-old.

I love when kids poke fuss over vegetables. While I don’t think it’s really funny, there is a small part of me {like 21%} that thinks it’s funny when they scrunch their face over eating a vegetable.

Read on, and please share your stage!

The Five Stages of I-don’t-want-to-eat-my-vegetables:

***

Surprise: “You want me to eat WHAT?”

Pleading: “Please, someone save me from the evil carrot! Anyone…anyone?”

Sorrow: “If I eat this carrot I will never be happy again. Never laugh, never smile.”

Anger: “I will not, I CANNOT eat this carrot.”

Sleep: “I’m so sleepy that I can’t eat it.”


I’ll go ahead and share that my stage is Sorrow. Does that surprise anyone?! Happy vegetable eating! :)

xo.
