so we have some seriously picky kids. i don't mean, like, only eat chicken nuggets and toast. just this last week, they ate spaghetti for the first time. i'm not kidding. they eat macaroni and cheese (must be panera, none of this kraft stuff), but apparently the long skinny noodles freak them out. i was making spaghetti with pecorino romano and black pepper -- fancy for an easier/healthier version of alfredo-- for us, and somehow bryan made it look fun to eat. something lady and the tramp-esque, i think. i love how there's an 8-year old in my husband's body. so they tried it, which is usually half the battle, and loved it!!! i'm pretty sure i cried, i was so happy. this, along with the fact that we haven't been that great about making sure what they're eating is healthy because we just want them to eat, pushed me over the edge. although this is probably completely normal to most people, we finally got it together to schedule our meals for the week. meal number one: cook's illustrated (best. cookbook. ever.) version of chicken parmesan with some spaghetti on the side. yum. and the boys ate it!! (not the tomatoes, but baby steps, people). we're keeping our fingers crossed that the trend continues!
i know, bad lighting...

Don't you dare make them eat the tomatoes...I don't either and I turned out just fine ;)
looks like the chicken parm turned out great- bravo bryan. loving tomatoes is in their genes; they'll come around (ben too, i hope)
