Eating

It is becoming increasingly difficult to get Natalia to eat healthily. If its bread, chips, sausage, chicken, tomato sauce, egg, cookies, biscuits and chocolate then she'll gladly eat it. Fruit, veg, rice, pasta and anything remotely healthy will not pass her lips, not one bit. I wonder to myself if I am the only parent that has a problem with a toddler that refuses to eat good food; all the kiddies I know are the opposite of Natalia and love fruit for example....... Last night I had to resort to blackmail. I made a savoury mince with celery, brinjal, carrot and courgette in it. Kim and I ate it will pasta, Natalia of course doesn't eat any form of pasta or noodles so I just gave her the mince. I told her if she ate all her mince she could get a chocolate biscuit afterwards. She proceeded to gobble the mince up and fed herself by hand; what a mess, but mission accomplished.


So now I have started my mission to get her to eat better and healthier and the only way I can do it is to deceive her!!! Yes, I was lucky to receive a recipe book for my birthday called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry's wife) from Jaycee and Wayne. I have only now been able to get cracking on making the recipes as we have been waiting for all out stuff to arrive and then I had to find all my baking and cooking stuff.


As I cook the recipes successfully, which are primarily to deceive princess Talia, I will be posting them here to share with all of you. So look out for these fantastic recipes!
