I consider myself really fortunate that I grew up with a mom that cooked. She also worked full time, but somehow she managed to fill the house with delicious smells by dinnertime. I remember nosing around the pots to get a sneak peek of dinner. One thing I don\u2019t remember, because it never happened, was asking for something different. Whatever was being served for dinner, was dinner, whether you liked it or not.<\/p>\n

\"do<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taken the same philosophy with my own little family. I\u2019m fortunate that David is a pretty great eater. He may not jump for joy at the idea of sweet potato chili, but he eats it and more often than not, enjoys it. Hailey gets what we get, too. I refuse to be a short order cook.<\/p>\n

\"do<\/a><\/p>\n

There are nights that Hailey won\u2019t eat more than a bite of something on her plate (last night it was the edamame). That\u2019s fine with me, though it doesn\u2019t mean she can have a snack 20 minutes later of something else. It\u2019s important to me that she learn to what we eat, so in the future our family dinners are happy times, not me running around trying to fix everyone what they request.<\/p>\n

\"do<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m at my parents house right now and arriving here yesterday got me thinking about how fortunate I am that my mom and dad exposed me to healthy foods from the start.  I love that when Hailey visits, healthy foods await her, too.<\/p>\n

\"do<\/a><\/p>\n

We still have pizza nights and my mom will admit to having dinners consisting of little more than nuts, pretzels and a glass of wine (like mother like daughter), but I believe I have an appreciation and taste for healthy foods because I was exposed early and consistently. I only hope to set the same precedent for my family.<\/p>\n

Does your family eat the same foods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you think it matters?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
