Kate with bag of posion..."I don't need this stuff!"
Well, henceforth the beginnings of our new healthier eating style. OUT with the sugar, IN with the avocado cupcakes.
Hmmm... you're right, that doesn't work, so I won't be emphasizing the description of every recipe. Though all the eeeewwwing did give us another good opportunity to talk about having a good attitude, trying new things, etc. Of course, that turned 'em around purdy quick and now they are all about "doing" whatever Mom's doing. Oatmeal and boiled eggs (just the whites) for breakfast. We forgot to use honey instead of the not-to-be-mentioned-lest-we-fall-into-a-poisoned-coma, splenda. (kids had REAL sugar) Ok, I just realized that the REAL sugar was still IN THE HOUSE. (Hear booming DJ, "IS THERE SOME SHUGA IN DA HOUSE!!!) Anyway, real sugar stays for when Mom has to make chocolate brownies at 2am when suffering from extreme sugar withdrawal. haahahahahahahahahahah
BTW- M, that's actual WATER in her cup! If she's thirsty, she'll learn to drink it! Woohoo! and yes, they are excited to try honey on their oats next time. And fresh fruit and nuts too! ;0)

They are going to learn to hate me! Lol
I do love honey on oatmeal--a drop or two of molasses give it a brown sugary taste. Throw some chopped apple and toasted walnuts on top...Yum!! Also, real maple syrup and pecans on top can't be beat. If you fix it for them, you can start out sweet and then gradually reduce the amount of sweetener you put in. Oh, and be sure to put just a pinch of salt in the oats when they are cooking. It gives the cereal more flavor without having to pile on the sugar. I actually stopped using just the whites of eggs. Read somewhere that most of the B vitamins and other good stuff is mostly in the yellow... I'm bad at remembering exactly why it is things are good or bad, just remember the rule. Not such a good homeschooley attitude. :o)
