Something Fishy Going On...
I don't know about all of you, but there are actual MANY foods my daughter loves that I would not eat. I learned early in my research of food and child rearing that often times when a child likes a food that parents don't, they usually don't have much access to it since kids tend to eat what their parents eat. I didn't want this to be something that happened in my home. I always wanted her to be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods, even if I didn't like them. I find lunch packing to be a fantastic way to provide her with things she likes even if I don't. This is one of those lunches.
IN THIS LUNCH:
- Tuna Salad - Tuna, mayo, celery, and carrot
- Crackers
- 1/2 a banana
- 2 WhoKnew cookies
- Carrots
If you weren't sure which item I hate, it's tuna. Not in any way or application. Monkey however is a fan so I like to keep some around for her. It works in a pinch, like this last minute-making lunch 30 minutes before we gotta go-lunch.
Are there foods that you find disgusting or simply don't like that you still make for your children anyway?
Happy Packing!!
It´s the other way around here. My kids hardly like anything compared to me :P
ReplyDeleteMadelein I am definitely glad she's such an open eater. I don't know if I could handle if she was as picky as me! Lol. I didn't come to try most foods and veggies till I was an adult though. So I find i'm getting less picky since I am making her try so much and I want to be a good influence. :P
ReplyDeleteMy kid loves raw salmon sushi, capers, green olives stuffed with whole garlic, and salami. None of which I would EVER eat. EVER.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a brave eater! I've never even had a caper. Haha. Thanks for sharing.
