What You See, Is What You Eat

C and R are the direct spawn of chef's. And it shows. Our boys have the most AMAZING, and healthy eating habits. The best part, they LOVE the good stuff.  Yes, that's right, my 2 and 3 year old can't get enough fruit and  vegetables.


I guess we are pretty lucky, but mind you, my hubby and I have never really given the boys a chance to bat an eye at new foods, or turn their noses up away from something "weird". Both of them scarf down pretty much anything we put in front of them, without an altered step.


Anything brined... give them more. 
Pate? Yes please.
Does it smell bad or look bizarre?? Well, if Mommy and Daddy are consuming it- why not?


From the get go, my husband and I have been pretty strict about what gets placed in front of them. Minimal to no sugar (other than of course the naturally occurring sugars) enter their diets. We keep the sodium levels low, and only good fat please. 99% of what they ingest is fresh, and homemade.


I'm very proud of this, and my kids brilliant eating habits show for it. I also believe that one doesn't have to be a "chef" in order for their kids to eat healthy. I'm sure this great start will really benefit when the kids are older.


So when the kids are hungry, and request an apple or other fruit... No problem little dudes... eat as much as you wish :)
