The Winner Is....

In our quest for eating better, Gary came up with a brilliant idea. We had tried whole wheat noodles before and it didn't go over very well at all for any of us. On Sunday, Gary decided this time to try again. But, with a twist. He thought to make it a game for the kids....a taste testing game. He made three different kinds of pasta and labeled them one, two and three. We had to try all three to see which one we all liked better. I think hands down we all like pasta #2 the best, which is just the target brand of whole wheat pasta.

Can I just say, that it worked like a charm. The kids had fun, were very quiet during dinner (which is rare) and they ate all of their dinner which consisted of whole wheat noodles. HEL-Lo. See.....
Gary comes up with the best ideas sometimes, well most of the time, okay, pretty much all the time. He is awesome!

I love the action shot you have of Lucy and Isabel eating. One day those pictures are going to haunt those girls... especially when we pop them out with their boyfriends! That's a fabulous idea, and so fabulous I am going to try and help Jamesy and I eat better. What a great family I married into!! :)

That is a good idea! But I can rarely get Trenton to eat any kind of noodle. So maybe it's not so bad to become a carbaholic like his mother.
