If last week was our NFM “cheat week,” then this week is otherwise known as “Mommy’s absentee week.” Unfortunately, I completely missed this meal –broccoli parm fritters via Smitten Kitchen – due to work obligations, but Dr. G. assures me that it went as “well” as previous weeks … meaning Buddy was not a fan. Mimi, on the other hand, quite enjoyed them. As did I, by the time I got home.
Not sure what it was that Buddy didn’t like about them – it’s a broccoli pancake, for crying out loud, and he loves broccoli. And pancakes. Unfortunately, being a tired and cranky 6-year-old, he couldn’t articulate his reasons. I still think we’re in the midst of a power struggle. And I’m not sure who’s winning and losing.
Also, starting next week, I will post all of my New Food Monday updates on the designated page (see blog menu above), but may not necessarily dedicate an entire post to it. I admit, it’s a little frustrating (and slightly demoralizing) to constantly write about how much my kid hated his meal. But trust me, if we discover a new food that knocks Buddy’s socks off, I will dedicate volumes and volumes to it!
