I’ve been feeling a tad underproductive these past few weeks. Always meaning to blog, always meaning to take Georgie on a long drive somewhere nice, always meaning to do this, that and the other. Instead I choose to play the role of couch potato. I’m hoping this phase will be over. Soon. I hate going to bed telling myself that it will all get done tomorrow…
I have however been extra good with Georgie’s food preparation. Our local organic store finally has a stocked fridge and I’ve been cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Banana bread is a new absolute favorite of Georgie’s. I can’t believe how feckin easy it is to make! I discovered he also loves shredded carrot with mayonnaise, baby corn stir-fried in butter and grapes with cheese. Just like all kids, he goes through a phase of throwing every single dish on the floor, which makes me want to cry after all the love and time I poured into it. But I remind myself that he is not aware of what he is doing and not to take it personally. Duh! But seriously, don’t you worry most of the time that your child isn’t eating enough? It nags at me but then I remember that he will not die of starvation and if he wants to eat something- as long as it is healthy and preferably fresh- he will and I should be happy. Snacking isn’t bad I have found. He’s not always going to be in the same mood. Are we?
Oh. I must tell you about these blueberry pancakes I whipped up this morning at 7. I picked up the blueberries from Prinos fruit and vegetable market and sliced some into Georgie’s cornflakes, snacked on throughout the day and finally added to this morning’s pancakes.
Today however I was blown away by a new milkshake I tried. Peanut butter and honey blended with organic vanilla ice cream, milk and half a banana, I flipped when Georgie asked for seconds and I found something easy, sweet and tasty to settle those munchies.
Note: I’ll be back by the end of the week with something I am really excited about and have planned for October 6. Stay tuned! xxx
