I've been sitting here, trying to come up with a something to post about this week, but the truth is I haven't tried any experiments recently, I've pretty much stuck to the meat & potatoes of regular nutritional foods with my kids. They seem to be enjoying most of what I prepare these days, so there's not as much pressure to dress foods up or dumb them down. Maybe that was a problem in my original design of feeding my kids. I shouldn't be training my kids to be tricked with false promises of good taste, or teach them that it's okay to disaprove of something at first glance. Who knows, maybe I'll start blogging about something a little more creative from now on. I've already thought about blogging about both the weight loss shake and vitamins online, though I guess those aren't hot topics that people will tune in to read about. Anyway, sorry for such a short post. Next month I'll be more entertaining, I swear!

That's right, my kids LOVE Chicken Curry! Who would have thought? Chicken curry is one of the healthiest "real" dishes I know how to make. It's basically chicken, vegetables, and spices, all mixed together in a walk, but here's a little breakdown:

2lb Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless. I made the mistake of getting them with the bones the first time I made it, took me forever to debone the chicken)

1 Onion

6 Tomatoes

1 1/2 Packets Frozen Spinach.

1.5 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Spices: Cinnamon, Curry, Cloves, Cardamom, Coriander, Red Chili Pepper, Salt, Cumin.

First grill the onions, then add the tomatoes and the spices, then add the chicken, finally add the spinach, and whalah! Chicken Curry!

The recipe makes about eight servings. My kids usually have a serving each and I eat two servings, so it makes enough for two meals. And the great thing is, it works even better as leftovers (chili is the same way). I'd suggest putting a dollop of sour cream on top of the dish two make it a little creamy, but otherwise it's a great, healthy dinner for kids and parents alike.

As an aside, my son asked me the other day how to get washboard abs. How do I answer that? Of course, washboard abs are great, but for kids? I told him to play hard and study in school, that was how.

Also, I found a couple cool websites for the healthsters out there. The Damage Control Master Formula page has a great post on how to deal with stress. Also, check out the vitamin shoppe for all your vitamin needs.

Unrelated to health websites, but pretty useful if you're trying to find your long lost high school prom date-- I found a website called people search now, or find people, or something like that. Basically, it looks up every person under a specific name, address, phone number, etc. that is located in public documents or records. A nifty little site.

Anyway, This week I tried the Spirulina with my kids. I called it a "green milkshake." Boy was that the wrong idea. Neither kid would touch the shake.

I do have to admit is smelled funny and it tasted worse. I don't blame them for turning their noses up, in fact I turned my nose up after a sip or two, and we poured both green milkshakes right down the drain.

Next month, I'll think of something better, I promise!
