treats
We eat too many treats in our house despite my constant reading on food and nutrition. I have to just let everyone know that one of my favorite healthy treats (at least I think so) is dried cherries and raw almonds. They are so dang good. Sometimes I add some dark chocolate chips to the mix but I love this little treat even without them. What's your favorite treat, healthy or unhealthy? I love oh so many unhealthy ones including this gooey chocolate pudding I made on Sunday. I was a bit disappointed as it overcooked but when it's made right oh man is it good.

Prayers
Sam- bless me not to fall on the ice and cut my knee, bless me not to fall in lava, bless me to be a good boy and not a bad one. I really enjoy my kids prayers. It's nice to hear what's on their mind. Sam of course comes up with some pretty funny things.
I made some Beef and Barley soup tonight. No body liked it. Not even Mike. In fact he called about three people trying to pawn it off (strange I know). I'm sure thinking he'd have to eat the left overs. Before we ate the soup though the boys were sad about dinner (not uncommon) and in Jack's prayer he said - Bless this food to taste good so we can eat it and get dessert. I made some gooey chocolate pudding to encourage the eating of the soup as I knew it wouldn't go over well. Then my darn gooey chocolate pudding over cooked and was more like cake (which Mike hates). Oh well some days you win and some days you loose. I even made this great Greek salad and homemade french bread for lunch. The kids didn't like the salad but ate the bread. We had whole white wheat crepes for breakfast. My kids like chocolate ones but I don't really feel great about having dessert for breakfast so I take plain yogurt (about a cup) and add one scoop of Hershey's chocolate milk mix ( I think it dissolves better) and fill them up. They love it. I'm sure it has less sugar then most cold cereals and is made with whole grain. Everyone liked the crepes, so I guess today's food wasn't a total loss. :)
