Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Molly, thank you for the wonderful update. Your dh (and you as chef) has done an amazing job. Boy, I'm even more inclined to believe in the power of prayer now

Keep up the good work!

Do the kids like the food?


Jeanne (9) does fine with all the food--she's a wanna-be vegetarian plus she's a "pleaser" and would probably give anything a try. Matthew (7) usually just eats whatever the meat in the dish is and a small portion of what goes with it--he would never have touched a vegetable, but seeing daddy eat it is having an impact on him. Timmy and Sarah (5 and almost-3) eat a lot of mac& cheese . Their pickiness predates the Cooking Light recipes, though, so I don't feel badly. Patrick (10 mos) would eat your hand if you got it too close, so I don't worry about him yet .

Cooking Light trades fat and calories for flavor, and some of the things are too spicy for my children (although dh and I love it), but I can sometimes marinate their chicken separately in something mild. I'm not doing any extra work, really, to make sure they can also eat. I think making this switch will have a positive impact on the kiddos' future eating habits. There's nothing like the example of a dad for young boys--even if it's with food. My plan is to slowly add things to my children's plates until theirs look more like mine. And the promise of a popsicle afterwards doesn't hurt either !!
