My New Year’s Wish January 1, 2008

Instead of a resolution, I’m making a New Years wish.

Why not?

And all I want for the New Year is simple, really.

No boogger eating, mud-bathing, baby crying, bed jumping, temper-tantrum, limp-body, kicking and screaming, toy throwing, sister-hitting, brother-bothering, toy-messing, poopy on the floor, pee-pee on you sister, i don’t wanna, move her, gimme that, no, no, days.

Let’s be realistic!

Since that’s not gonna happen, I’ll take the happy healthy, gotta love them, sing their ABC’s, and smile at you in the middle of a “tornado”, make you forget, why you were mad days.

And you know, those happen all the time.

Why not? January 1, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I can only cook chicken, cheese mac, hot dogs and my son’s favorite meals so many times.

I need some new recipes to get George interested, so he doesn’t refuse to eat and requests Cars soup (spaghettis o’s) every day. I would also love some new recipes to get my 11 month old off those boring jars of food, which she is clearly ready for, and make meals that will interest her to try new things.

Start of the year with new lease on your kids meals with The Big Book of Recipes for babies, toddlers, and children: 365 quick, easy and healthy dishes.

It can’t hurt, right?

I hope not I just ordered it off Barnes and Noble.

The authors promises this is “more than a cookbook, this indispensable kitchen companion not only offers delicious recipes for every day of the year but also contains a wealth of information on child nutrition, from weaning and introducing solids to packed lunches and party foods for older children.”

I always stress about what I feed my kids, is it healthy? are they getting enough choices? I seem to make the same old reliable recipes.

I would love to reduce that stress and liven up their meals in the new year.

Check back! I’ll try the recipes and keep you posted!
