A pathetic list

by Jackie

What we’ve eaten so far this week.

breakfast:
Sam- two bowls of cheerios with milk
Me- two slices of whole grain toast with butter

lunch-
Sam- dried cranberries, raisins and apricots. Cheddar Bunnies, half an apple, some pretzels
Me- cupcake, pretzels with hummus, the other half of Sam’s apple, a peach

Snack
Sam- frozen strawberries and blueberries, pretzels

Dinner-
Sam- bacon and chard lifted from the pizza, 6 spinach nuggets,
Me- Butternut squash, bacon, rosemary and chard phyllo pizza


Tuesday
Breakfast
Sam- 1.5 waffles with butter and syrup, pretzels
Me- the other half of Sam’s waffle

Lunch
Sam- dried cranberries and raisins, half an apple, cheddar bunnies
Me- grilled cheese on wheat, potato chips, the other half of the apple

Snack
Sam- pretzels, potato chips, V8 fusion strawberry banana juice

Dinner-
Sam- vegetable fried rice, broccoli
Me- brown rice, chicken with broccoli, spring roll, steamed dumplings

Wednesday
Breakfast
Sam- waffle with butter and syrup, two plums
Me- granola bar, potato chips

Snack-
Sam- potato chips, dried cranberries

Lunch
Sam- cheddar bunnies, apple
Me- Spinach and artichoke strata

Snack
Sam- pretzels

Dinner
Sam- vegetable fried rice, broccoli
Me- brown rice, chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings

Clearly we are both seriously overloaded with salty snacks, deficient in dairy and protein, full of carbohydrates, lacking in vegetable matter (though Sam sort of made up for it with the spinach nuggets) and a little bit short on fruit (though Sam makes up for the fresh fruit with the dried fruit he’s into.) I hate to play the pregnancy card, but it’s hard to make sure everyone’s eating well when preparing food is currently more of a hassle than a pleasure. I’m not quite sure of how to sneak more dairy products into Sam. He’s been anti-cheese and yogurt for the past few months and he’s been on a chocolate milk strike. Maybe some smoothies?

At least we’re both taking multi-vitamins, the only bread in the house is whole grain, and the potato chips are low sodium. But really, this list is sort of pathetic and embarrassing.

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
