Happy Updates!!

First and foremost...I have lost 3 lbs...woo hoo. That is a positive. I have made better choices, not perfect choices and still seen success. That is what I want.

2nd of all I have found healthier choices for my family, that is a big step.

I have started a new process of "hiding" veggies and fruit in basic dishes. DJ will eat ANY fruit you give him however, veggies are a challenge. We always offer it...but, he always refuses! So, I have taken to steaming, blending and freezing veggies in purees and then "sneaking" them into our dishes. I have started easy, it was first with carrots in the blueberry muffins...tasted great and DJ and Devon both liked them! Tonight I made a blackberry bar with zucchini. It was easy and pretty good. Only 1/2 cup of sugar in the whole dish *12 bars* and you can't taste the zucchini either!

Tomorrow night its either lima beans in the mac/cheese or ...zucchini in the pasta and sauce. We will see, but I am hoping for good food eating continued!

I made chili on Sunday and added Lima beans...yummy.

Plus, Devon is taking the natural juice from the fruit DJ eats and freezes it into popsicles...DJ loves it and it helps his teething. What a smart DADDY!
