New Foods

So even though we've moved to this new country with tons of exotic foods to try...we have yet to do so. We haven't even eaten at a "Chinese" place yet. We have had some Asian dishes, but at places that are typically classified as serving American meals. However, the girls have tried new foods since we've been here so I thought I would share.

A few days ago, Morgan asked me for eggs for breakfast. Most of you know that if you ask this child if she would like eggs, she is quick to tell you "I don't like eggs." So I was surprised by this. She made sure we added them to our grocery list. She ordered fried rice yesterday because I mentioned that it has eggs in it.

Molly is growing up so fast and really wants to eat "table foods". I don't blame her. But since I haven't exactly been cooking lately its hard to come up with something to give her. Morgan orders the hot dog at Johnny Moo's. It is a foot long hot dog that extends several inches past the bun. The last couple of times we have gone, I cut several small dices for Molly and she LOVES it.

Both of my girl ate fish yesterday. I ordered fish last night and because I couldn't give Molly any of Morgan's mac n cheese (allergic), I needed to give her something besides the Gerber Mixed Veggies. I gave her a few small flakes to start, and she gobbled it up. Eventually Morgan asked if she could try it. The two of them ate half of my dinner. Of course I am happy that my girls are willing to try new foods and they actually like them. I'm hoping this leads into us trying a few more new foods soon.

By the way, last night at dinner, Morgan asked the servers if she could have chopsticks with her mac n cheese. The Chinese waitresses all giggled and watched as she ate her macaroni with the chopsticks.
