Week 2, Day 6: New Snacks & Breakfast for Dinner

I went grocery shopping today and bought tons of yummy fresh fruit and veggies. Even though its most of what we eat, I still get really excited about it because it's so good for us.

I found a few snacks for my daughter (and me). Since she's being such a good sport and loves snacks, I thought it would be a good idea. I found 2 kinds of chips:

Terra brand Sweets & Beets (Sweet Potato & Beet Chips)
Kettle Baked potato chips (lightly salted)

My daughter was very happy about the Kettle chips. The Terra chips, not so much. I agree with her, but they are something different to try. I also bought some of Trader Joe's Freeze Dried Blueberries. We've tried these before and we like them.

For dinner, the whole family joined us (and ate!). Blueberry pancakes (Namaste Foods, Waffle & Pancake Mix) with maple syrup, garlic fried potatoes and fruit salad. My daughter helped by mashing all the fruit together in the bowl, so we would "get to taste all of the fruits in each bite."  She ate it all and had seconds. Hooray for another dinner she likes! The pancakes are a little more chewy than normal ones (my husband ate a few, but he wasn't too impressed), but with maple syrup and fruit on top, and being ok for us to eat, my daughter and I thought they tasted pretty darn close to the real thing.
