  1. I just thought of the best question for you! I have a 5 year old entering k next year and I'm already brainstorming lunch ideas. I'm assuming you pack lunch for her, right? So what do you pack? Could you do a week of pictures for us? It would be super inspirational.

    • no, not at all. the other day she was pretending to be a jaguar and said she was going to pretend her strawberries were meat. I ask, well, do you want real meat?" and she made a "hell no" face. She doesn't want to eat animals. If she did ask to try it we would have the conversation about what exactly she's eating– the animal, the part of animal, etc. And then she could decide from there.

  2. I love these posts and I love your blog. It's seriously my favorite and now that I have a three year old of my own, it's the only one I follow regularly. Thanks for all of it!

  3. Love the Indian inspired dishes. And you've reminded me that I need to sow some spinach seeds. CJ xx
