this dinner was a winner!

Addi has been in an eating rut lately.  She always eats great at school, but when it's dinnertime at home, she is SO picky!!!  I made Chicken & Tomatoes Tortellini the other night and served it with some steamed edamame.  She loved it so much and even ate the tomatoes by the spoonful!  I'm sure it was just luck, but I will definitely try it again!! LuLu got Addi a new "muffin tin" in shapes of spring flowers.  It was definitely a win-win dinner!

Go Addi!!

Addi enjoyed a pretty tasty dinner tonight.  She really liked her new "muffin tin" shaped like flowers!  We're really ready for spring at the Hofmann household!

Addi has just become such a picky eater lately and it is so incredibly frustrating! (I know my mother is just loving this!) In an effort to be creative with her meals, I started googling ideas and combing through blogs. I came across this idea and thought it was just genius! All of those goodies look much more appetizing than in that cute heart mold. I just happened to have that already, but now I'm on the hunt for some good bargains! Let me know if you find anything cute out there!!

Addi still didn't eat everything on her tray, but she had a great time rearranging her food.

(Cheerios, Chex, Craisins, apples, cheddar cheese, peas & carrots, blueberries, peas & carrots, ham, ham cheddar cheese and blueberries)

I also made Addi some apple sauce and she really loved it.  Enjoy!
