  2. Hey Lisa! Your menu looks pretty good to me! I'm coming over . . . .

    I am fortunate that my kids really love fruit and will tolerate vegetables.

    I had a foster boy who utterly refused to eat a vegetable of any kind. His adoptive mom was a health-conscious vegetarian and said, "Oh, we'll see about that!"

    And I thought, "You have no idea how stubborn he is. It'll never happen."

    But lo and behold, a few months later she sent me a photograph of Peter eating a bowl of broccoli--and loving it! The vegetables were covered in Ranch but hey, he was eating them.

    So maybe your family will come around to liking produce, Lisa. You never know. :)
