I took this picture to allay my husband's fears. I know my total aversion to vegetables and love for all things microwavable worries him. It's a respectable concern. He's genuinely worried about his family's future, about the nutritional values I'm instilling in our children meal after meal. And while it's true that many days our lunches would not pass a USDA Food Guide inspection, there are still many days when I do have my act together, when the kids and I sit down together to a meal that consists of more than frozen chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese.
Today we lunched on homemade baked ziti, green peas, fresh local strawberries and a big glass of milk. Friends that know me best wouldn't believe me if I told them. So here's proof: fruits, veggies, proteins, grains and dairy, all in one place.
And we even ate on plates.
