We have food again! After last week's desperation plan, it feels good to have a well-stocked fridge and pantry. The toughest part of last week was when I ran out of butter, oil, AND milk. I was beginning to feel a little trapped and, well, desperate. Still, we all survived and, quite frankly, still ate very well. It's a good reminder, every now and again, about just how blessed we are. We live in abundance and being without milk or butter is really not a tragedy. Too often, I think we rush out to fill any missing "necessities" without considering just how lucky we are to usually have them...
Blessed I am, though, and the cupboards are full. So here we go...

B-Cereal, Yogurt, Juice
L-French Toast, Berries, & Bananas

But on that list of "10 Superfoods for Kids", it is the ONLY thing my children do not currently eat regularly. Do they like it? I don't know. Shamefully, I've never served it to them. This is the week...)

My hubby and I don't eat salmon (or any fish really) either, but we got some to try for our oldest son's birthday. Hubby and I really wanted to like it, but didn't. The big kid however loved it and has even asked for it again a couple of times since then. I'm glad we're not the only ones making dinners we're not so sure about for the goodness of our kids. Good for you!!
I am a very picky eater, but I started eating salmon about 5-6 years ago (after I turned 30) and now it is one of my favorite meals. I make it occasionally for my kiddos, too, but the younger ones (5 and 3) haven't acquired a taste for it yet. Good for you for trying it! All 4 of my kids love salmon burgers though! I'm looking forward to hearing about how it goes for you this week.
