Dinner Time

First off I would like to give props to the individual who invented ranch dressing! It has to be in the top 10 creations of all time. Seriously what do carrots taste like...Ranch. What about lettuce...Ranch. Broccoli..you guessed it RANCH!!! I would probably never eat vegetables without this nectar from the gods.
If you haven't guessed we had a nice salad with dinner tonight. One idea we have tried in the past is the kids can earn rewards for trying new foods. So now Cru often tries to trick us by telling us he has never eating things before, Like say chicken, "but I've never eaten it like this before". He tried this again tonight with the tomatoes cut up in the salad. He hates tomatoes, but he told us that he would try them again to see if he liked them now. He had this very serious face on and muttering under his breath he started chanting, "it's going to taste good..it's going to taste good." his face grimacing more and more the closer it came to his mouth. Finally one last gonna taste good and in it went.....He promptly gagged and stated he still didn't like tomatoes. So much for positive affirmations. He should of put some ranch on it!

That is so freakin' hilarious! We're trying to get Gage to try Ranch, but he's purely a ketchup boy, and not everything tastes better with that smeared on it.

funny--I have a nephew that literally drinks ranch from the cups when they visit Chili's. What a good idea to reward them for trying new foods--Mariko is so dang picky--I don't know where we went wrong with her.
