What are we teaching our children about healthy foods if we have to have commercial after commercial about all the products that make fruits and vegetables "bearable." Seriously? You need to hide your veggies in spaghetti sauce? And fruits in a sugary drink?
Positive attitudes about healthy food will make a world of difference in our own diets as well as our children's. Fruits and vegetables are great, and I will celebrate eating them! :)

Spit pea soup
Do you guys remember that story that Mom always tells about how she accidentally called it spit pea soup? How embarrassing ;)
One night it was definitely time to go to bed, but Good Eats was starting and Alton Brown was talking about how to get people who don't like peas to eat their peas, and since my husband is one of those people, we decided to stick around.
I was glad we did, because he started out with a split pea soup recipe that sounded pretty easy--and would help me use up some of the split peas I'd gotten from WIC checks...anyway, it turned out really yummy, and even my dubious husband gulped down his share. Now the new mystery is how to make it look more appealing!
