Raw Lunch

The other day I decided to do a super healthy lunch. I didn't prep the kids for it at all. They came parading into the dining room where I had several dishes of different fruits and veggies laid out. I also had pita bread cut in triangles and some homemade hummus. We have had lunches like this before, but the kid's response to it has not always been positive.

It was music to my ears when Madelyn, Julian and Kalen were oohing and aaaahing as they came to the table. They loved it! It just goes to show that I have to keep exposing the kids to the good things in life, over and over until they are in agreement with me.

I have the hummus recipe here. It was passed on by my dear friend, Katie Gasaway.
