Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Tonight we are having green noodles and green lemon bars. They didn’t have spinach fettuccine at the grocery store, so I’m going to try food coloring in the boiling water. I hope it works or so much for green noodles on St. Patrick’s Day!

I know what you mean about picky kids. My 4 year old will help me shop for meals, and even help me make dinner, then refuse to eat it. So much for what the “experts” say. But then again, most of the “experts” don’t actually have kids 🙂

I got to go on a call with a famous “expert” once and asked about getting kids to eat healthy food…his answer, “just only ever give them healthy food and that’s all they’ll eat. my daughter is a great eater!” he had one daughter and she was like 2 years old. I remember being glad it was a conference call so I could just roll my eyes! would love to follow up with him now to see how that plan worked out 😉
I do think there is something to be said for offering your kids the healthy foods, but honestly, you can lead a horse to water….
