Sometimes I feel a little guilty about feeding Shamblin chicken nuggets and/or peanut butter and jelly just about every single day.
I tell myself I need to stop taking the easy way out by throwing a plate of processed food into the microwave for him.
I decided I would take charge of my toddler's diet and make a good ol' fashion home cooked meal that is delicious and healthy. so on Tuesday I about 30 minutes making macaroni and cheese from scratch that has pureed veggies mixed in with some diced ham for protein.. (ok maybe it's not super healthy but it's got to be better than chicken from a bag?)
It's a new recipe so I tinkered with it until it was perfect.
I spooned a hefty serving onto Shamblin's plate and he doesn't even touch it. He just looks at me like, "Where are my chicken nuggets, woman?"
After much coaxing I get him to at least try it only to have him spit it back out.
I now remember why I make him the same meal every day.
Well.. more for me. At least he takes a vitamin every day.
