Healthy Diet

I cooked a new meal for the kids' dinner. Instead of regular beef patties for the hamburgers, I heated up "meatless and soy-free" patties consisting of mushroom ingredients. My objective is to provide the kids with a healthy diet through a variety of foods. Also, it is fun to try new foods. It breaks the monotony of eating the same thing over and over. What made tonight's dinner more fun for the kids was placing the ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise in front of them and letting them have the freedom to embellish their mushroom burgers as they saw fit. My youngest child then proceeded to squirt out a huge amount of mustard on his burger buns. But, alas, as we all know, with freedom comes the potential for excess.
