Day 11


A very successful dinner tonight. We had homemade pasta, and homemade meatballs and sauce (leftover "Sunday Gravy" from the freezer) and beautifully fresh green beans. When my daughter learned of tonight's menu earlier in the afternoon she almost threw a hissy fit...but held it in.  Remember, Hannah = no sauce, of any kind. When I make my sauce I always keep some meatballs out and bake them with no sauce. But, when I freeze the leftover sauce everything goes together.

As expected, my son gobbled his meatballs and pasta and ate his green beans with only a little reminding. Once I assured her that I had scraped off almost all of the sauce from the meatballs, Hannah enthusiastically took a bite. But then exclaimed, "I don't like it!" But, with a gulp of milk, chewed and swallowed the bite she took. She ate multiple servings of pasta and green beans.

Outcome: Both children got smile stickers tonight.
