sneaky sneaky..

I made the bunch "pancakes" for our lunch today... i snuck in 2 scoops of vin. whey protein with the dry ingred. for the mix (and modified it a bit more too make it even healthier) and they didn't even know... they were YUMMY... added a little cinn. and some splenda to them (no syrup...yuck!!) and my "treat" lunch was perfect for everyone!!

I started sneaky little things like that a while ago when my son wouldn't eat veggies (carrots/pepers/onions/other vegies cooked up in different foods that he never noticed) and now he asks me all the time (since he relized that i was doing it) to put vegies and good stuff in his food so he doesn't have to "eat" them normal....  the kids even miss the flavor when i forget or make things "right".... hahaha...

You ARE a sneaky one!  I could NEVER get away with that around here!  DH HATES most veggies!  Drives me nuts!!!!!!

I am usually the one to cook so they eat what i put in front of them. I make a menu for the week so the know kind of what is up for the rest of the week. I try to add things that they may not like to the ones that i know they love so that they will try them all. AJ even askes for salad now (this is a kid who's mom only made boxed mac-n-cheese and hot dogs...or similar things...)

I am trying to get healthy for life and make sure the kids get healthy (and working on the bf... slowwwwly...).... its slow going (and haveing to send them to their mom'son weekends doesn't help sometimes....) but eventually i hope they will be glad that i gave them the healthy basework...

Good for you this is the best time to start kids on the right track when they are young enough for it to be their lifestyle. I am trying with my kids as well.
