I have become that mom

Who bribes her children with the ever awesome condiment of childhood.....

Ketchup.


Bleh.

And all because I used to shake my head at moms who drowned perfectly good filet in ketchup for their children at the 5 star steak house I worked at all through college.

That willteach me to judge a book by its cover, wont it?

Hey, ketchup has iron in it. And the girls ate a good 4 and 6 ounces respectively of salmon (with ketchup) so thats omega 3s , right? Right!?!?

  1. You do what you have to do! Sometimes, it isn't what we planned or wanted. But, when a child needs to eat to stay healthy, us moms need to figure out how to get the good stuff in them.

    My youngest, Emily, she loves ketchup. She likes to dip apples, carrots, and other dipable things into it.

    Bella, my oldest, won't have anything to do with ketchup. If we have chicken nuggets and fies, she eats them without any dip. Not even barbque sauce.
