january 12: try a new food...

My kiddos aren't necessarily picky eaters, but they definitely go through phases.  Sometimes they decide that they don't like peanut butter and jelly...oatmeal...chili...  Now, I am kind of picky, so we don't we don't go out on a limb very often.  No sushi for dinner in this house, folks.  But as a family we were going to try something new tonight.  I chose something that I had eaten, but never made.

Stuffed Bell Peppers!

The boys were a little wigged out from the get go, because they usually pick out the bell peppers off of pizza and spaghetti.  We have a little game though when something might not be everyones favorite.  Everyone puts the "offender" on their utensil...we count to three...and all eat at the same time.  It works to get at least one bite of something into their mouths.  Mom did a good job concocting a pretty tasty dish, and her boys ate almost all of what was on their plates.

Next time we do this we will probably cook something a little more edgy, but I was happy with our little guys participation tonight...

bon apetit!
