I stumbled onto your blog from the tumblr recommendation also. Although I haven’t really read a complete blog yet, just browsed through, I’m already loving it. I have a 2 1/2 year old and doesn’t want anything but mac and cheese. My husband is also a chef, but doesn’t like to cook at home. So it’s up to me to try to create something the both of them will eat. Will definitely be a long time follower of your blog!

Thank you!  Sorry your husband doesn’t like to cook at home, mine loves it but is hardly ever home to do so.  I’ve learned so much from him.  I’d love to hear if you’ve tried some of the ideas I’ve given. 

If you want to open your son up to more foods than mac & cheese: don’t make it— just cook something for you and your husband and feed him what you eat.  It might take some time, but he’s young enough for you to introduce new and healthier foods.  And for those times when you do give m&c make sure it’s not the bright orange one (Kraft uses yellow #5 which is linked to hyperactivity, attention disorders and cancers) but something like Annie’s or Trader Joe’s white cheddar and serve several veggies (like raw carrots, celery, cucumbers) on the side.  Good luck, I hope I’ve helped.
