My New Friend

No pictures, nothing really fancy. Just a plan old food chopper.




On Monday night, I made taco for dinner, no biggie. I will just give my darling daughter beans and cheese with the shell. But I thought I'm going to try a little "Deceptively Delicious" thinking. For those of you unfamiliar with this.




I decieded to chop the hamburger meat to tiny pieces and put them in the beans!!!

And it worked!!!! She didn't even notice.

So tonight we are making burritos and I ask her to chop the hamburger meat.
Then I proceed to tell her about the tacos, the other night.
Mommy-"Sweetheart, do you remmeber those yummy tacos we had the other night"?
Tinky-"Yes Mommy, I really like them".
Mommy-"I mix the meat and beans together".
Tinky- "Are you telling me I ate meat in my taco"?
Mommy- "Yes, sweetheart I chopped it up and mix it in the beans".
Tinky- "Why didn't you tell me I was eating meat"?
Mommy- "Well, sweetheart it was something I thought you needed to try first".
Tinky-OH!!

For those of you that do not have the wonderful pleasure of knowing Tinky.
She's what we call a starcharian. Meaning- she only eats food that have starch in them.
For her this is a hugh leap for the tinky girls out there.

Smart thinking mom! Tinky, I'm proud of you and your successes in trying new things! I'll be grinding up meat next month for Ame. Looking forward to testing it out! Love you guys.
