My babies and their veggies

To get him to eat his vegetables, I have to blend them into the meal so he cannot pick them out. He will eat them in egusi soup though without complaint, but we can't eat egusi soup every day. That's boring. I have threatened him with stunted growth, the possibility of not living to see his grand children and every possible type of cancer but he is still not convinced that vegetables are good for you. Some probably think I am talking about a little child. No I am talking about my darling husband who I have been trying to persuade to increase his vegetable intake.



My other struggle is to get him to drink more water. Water is important to the sustenance of life isn't it? I mean, 100% juice is good for you too but we all need water. My debating skills must not be as good as I thought they were because this is one fight that I am losing.



The other baby in this house is a legitimate one. She is only 19mths old and does not have the sense to complain about vegetables and water just yet, even though she would rather have juice than water. Hmmm, I wonder where she inherited that trait from (insert eye roll). I'm beginning to think that i should have studied nutrition in school instead of chemistry since I am the designated home dietician! At least they both like to eat fruit.

Well I am fighting my battles one at a time and so far, I think I am making pretty good progress. I welcome creative solutions to my dilema. I'll let you know when i find a way to get the husband to eat and enjoy broccoli, though I have a suspicious feeling that day may never come. But ya never know. hehehehe
