Feeding my picky 3 year old

Finally i have been getting more veggies and fruits in Julian without him  knowing about it.  I bought him the V8 Fusion light juices that are a mix of fruits and vegetables. He loves the strawberry banana and orange flavor. When i make his favorite dishes  i am cooking in veggies that he would never touch and he doesn’t even realize there in there.

Tonight i made him pasta. I added cauli flower and broccolli in the water and bring to a boil, then added in the pasta. By the time the pasta was cooked the cauli flower and broccoli were completely mashed.  I drained a little excess  water and added some olive oil, ground beef, and pasta sauce. He chowed it down and washed away with a cup of V8 fusion light juice.

Getting veggies in Eli’s diet has been way easier as i am blending his food. Tonight, i made him a blend of  cauli flower, broccolli,  celery, squash, carrots , green beans, corn and peas and 2 small potatoes. I added some flax seed oil to the veggies when they were cooked and just pureed them. This was not only tasty, but quite healthy too.

Oh dear, my husband just  fell asleep on the couch with one had on a can of beer! I have to go snatch it from his had before it hits the floor.

Have a good weekend.

So you all know am  a huge fan of TP. This movie finally came out on DVD so i was able to watch it. TP, i must admit this was not what i had expected. The dvd had so much advertisements, much more than his past DVDs. You are talking about a mother here of a 7 month old baby that doesn’t sleep that much at night. So by the time i got past all the ads, the baby wakes up. I could not find that dang remote to fast forward pass them.

The movie had a lot of big name stars. Taraji Henson did a good job , i loved the scene with her niece trying to beg her to let her live with her. That got me in tears.  I missed the comedic touch that is usually in a lot of his past movies. I would have loved a mix of his old cast- Mr Brown would have been a great addition.  Madea character did ok, but of course  we can never have enough comedy.

Overall, it was an ok movie. It just felt as if, someone else wrote the script and just gave TP a part to play. If you have seen all his  past movies you will understand what i mean.
