i'm so dumb. last night, i seasoned my bare brand chicken with this montreal chicken seasoning that i love and ALWAYS use... i didn't even think, "what's in this?"...i googled the last ingredient: sulfiting agents.
i was so mad i could spit. a sneaky preservative. gotta go through my spices now. mother fudgers.
so the adults took one for the team and i made some of the purdue simply - lightly breaded chicken chunks for the kids. i don't know what i was more mad about, the fact that i couldn't give the kids the bare chicken tenders or that i got two pans dirty.
last night's dinner:
avocado chunks w/ cut up nuggets seasoned with s&p and organic ketchup for dipping.
go go squeeze berry applesauce pouches.
lays potato chips and veggie chips.
dessert:
1/2 ciao bella ice cream sandwich squares
i gave them little cups with ketchup and did not refill them. they are slowly getting used to my ketchup rationing (about a tablespoon). i swear abbie would have gone through a cup of ketchup by herself.
this dinner is not magical by any means. it was very simple & easy. and hello, we had the bears vs packers game to watch in our neighbor's garage.
this is real life people.
challenge: what the heck do i do when we go to a party and there is food available to the kids on my crazy shitlist? food that i served less than a week ago, and that the kids know and love!? good luck with that. here is what i did: i told the kids what they could have, went home and got them dessert. i let them have a capri sun and more potato chips which were a-ok with ingredients. no problem. then, when we got home we reminded them about our little experiment. they got it. i think.
what should YOU do if my kids come over to your house? nothing. nada. zilch. i will bring stuff for them:)
my head hurts thinking about this stuff. i think it's this whole looking crazy thing. and wanting my kids to enjoy being kids. they had more sugar tonight than i would have liked. it's ok. i think i'll relax more once this month is over, gotta sort it all out...find balance.
feel the force luke.
