Whole Food Trial #2

So pumpkin soup was a big bomb, but I am not easily dissuaded. Last night I made Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Mellon and Salad. Everyone got a 4 oz serving of chicken (which was pounded with a mallet and coated in lime and jerk seasoning), mellon (which was very ripe), and a lettuce and cucumber salad.

Simple and yummy...but the best part was that every kid cleaned their plate! I can remember a time when Alyssa wouldn't eat anything but plain roasted chicken. Last night I saw her stealing some chicken from her sister, that's growth (we'll deal with the stealing later).

I want to try and make a low fat banana bread next.

Whole Food Trial #1

I said a few weeks ago I was going to try to eat home made whole foods at least once a week. Well here I am making pumpkin soup, two weeks later. Why not sooner? No special reason, just life.

So it took maybe 30 minutes, a ton of dishes, and four ingredients to go from this (above) to this (below), 

Final thoughts. I don't really like pumpkin soup, who knew!?! Probably would be better with bacon, but as you know that's a big no for me.
