I'm THRILLED to have stumbled upon your website (thank you, simple mom!). I am stuck in the 'feed the kids, put them to bed and we eat something else' and am SO over it. Plus, my kids hardly touch their plates. This article was an inspiration. I'm making chicken enchiladas for my husband and me tonight, and I think I'll serve it to the kids, as well. Plus, pushing dinner a little later might mean all 4 of us can eat together. We've talked about the importance of eating together for a while, but w/his commute, it's not really possible. But that shouldn't stop ME from eating properly at the table (and eating the same thing as the kids)...'how kids learn how to eat'...wow....as oprah says, an 'aha moment' ;) Thanks for all the great info. I'm sure I'll be up late tonight catching up on all of your other posts! -kristiina wow, I know this is an older post, but I had to comment.
