I am finally winning the battle

I have to brag for a minute because I am feeling as if I have won a great battle with my kids. As you know, I am one that is quick to jump on the latest dietary bandwagon. Most often the bandwagon is not a successful venture; however, I think this time I have succeeded.

My kids are the WORST eaters in the world. They love junk food and anything fried. Since we are living in this healthy Colorado society I have decided to make an effort to improve their nutrition. (which I should do anyway). It is also a result of my extra time that I have been able to try these new receipes, because you know healthy food takes longer to prepare.

Anyway....I am in love with Jessica Seinfield. Her book "Deceptively Delicious" is AWESOME. I made the chicken nuggets with vegetables in the coating, and the kids LOVED it. I also made peanut butter and jelly muffins with carrots hidden in them, and the kids LOVED it.

I feel as though the score is MOM 2 KIDS 0. I finally feel as though I am winning the ever difficult war against bad nutrition. I cannot say enoughgood about the book. Here is the link about her appearance on Oprah with the recipe for the chicken nuggets. http://www.oprah.com/foodhome/food/recipes/200710/food_20071008_nuggets.jhtml
