One of those steps is eating healthier. It is amazing how just one healthy meal can change so much of what you feel. I don't feel as hungry or cranky, I feel lighter and better about myself. I am still working on that huge sugar craving right after the meal, but I keep telling myself, the craving is like a mosquito bite. If I ignore it long enough, I won't notice it is there. Then maybe I can get to the point where I actually enjoy the treats I eat, rather than shoveling them down to my gut and then not even being able to recall the taste. It is so sad.
So yeah, but eating healthy meals while having 5 fairly picky kids (they actually are pretty good, but it isn't easy pleasing all of them at every meal). Tyson is very supportive, but he is a lot like me and would much rather be eating pizza or popcorn.
However, last night we had an AWESOME meal. Like for real. It was stuffed full of veggies, but tasted like a dip, so everyone was happy. Plus, it was a crock pot meal, so I did all the work (which really is just cutting up a few veggies) in the morning during the baby's nap and then voila, it was done at dinner time. I heart crock pots, like, so much.

Everyone all actually ate a bowl...which is unheard of, especially for a certain 5 year old that claims soup is disgusting in all forms. So I had to share in case you are wondering what to cook, how to get your kids or yourself to eat carrots, spinach and tomatoes. This is the recipe for you. :)
Andrew even had 3 bowls and kept wanting more...until he licked the bowl clean and in the process got soup in his eye. Here is proof.
