No Pizza - Broccoli, Please!


On the way home from school we have some interesting conversations in the afternoon.  They typically consist of what Luke did at school that day, him asking to watch a show when we get home and when Paul is going to be home.  Our conversation today was something like this:

Me: What do you think you want for supper tonight?
Luke: Ummmm....Tilapia, broccoli and corn
Me: We already had tilapia this week...what about pizza?
Luke: Uh-uh...what about chicken, broccoli and green beans?
Me: We had green beans last night...what about pizza?
Luke: Nope, what about chicken, broccoli and macaroni and cheese?
Me: So, really no pizza?

That is pretty bad when the mom who is also a dietitian is trying to convince her 3-year old child to pick pizza for supper!  For the record, we ended up having ham steak, sweet potatoes and hominy.  Kind of starchy, but I guess better than pizza!

While I was cooking that oh so gourmet meal the kids entertained themselves in the kitchen "junk" drawer.  This thing desperately needs some attention and soon!  But for the mean time it kept them occupied and they found a few items I had been missing!
