What do you feed your kids?


I am particularly neurotic when it comes to feeding my kids. I don't mind if they have mac n cheese and chicken strips at someone else's house because I know that's a treat and an everyonce-in-a-while thing.

But sometimes chicken nuggets are just quick and easy compared to a big elaborate, well thought out meal.

As long as my kids have some kind of DIP on their plate no matter what they are eating...they are good.

Some of their favorites...
Cottage cheese and yogurt...we have our dairy and protein
Salad with ranch dressing and cheese...
of all the veggies they hate-they love salad
And the chicken nuggets...maybe some protein but more grease and sodium

Not sure why I'm such a freak about this...maybe its the nursing degree that is gearing me towards health and away from childhood obesity. If you take one look at my kids you would think they were closer to the ethiopian epidemic than obesity. Not because I don't feed them though. So they would benefit from some not so healthy fats and foods sometimes.

Getting off my soap box now.
