So, the challenge has always been how to feed all of my people. Picky Pop Pop doesn't like anything too ethnic. He also hates mayo, sour cream, cilantro and rosemary. There are also a list of things he makes a face at...just because. My mother had dietary issues, psychological issues and teeth issues. Children...well...they are children so that is a challenge in itself. I have worked my way around all of these challenges but most of the time they meant that I sacrificed what I wanted but more importantly what I needed. I am taking some new strides. I will make food that is good for us as well as tastes good but people will just have to deal. I was never the make five different foods person but I am taking it a step higher. (Don't get me wrong, there will also be pizza nights.)
That being said, I busted out the WW cookbook and made a most delicious meal. The chicken was on sale, the rabe is in season and therefore inexpensive and the polenta was a NEW THING to make. Everyone got the same dish of food and guess what? We all devoured it. It didn't taste like a diet dish and I felt great knowing that we were getting a healthy meal that would keep me well within my points for the day. Grab a cookbook, find a new ingredient, try a different technique...you have to do it three to five times a day for the rest of your life...enjoy it!!!
