I mean really, if I’m tempted when I see an advertisement for a caramel frapuccino from McDonalds, imagine when my kids see the same advertisement for the pink smile chicken nuggets! Life throws temptations at us all day so my job as a mom is to make tasty, new, fun foods for all of us to enjoy and be excited to eat. It’s a constant job of exploring books and recipe sites, investigating ingredient lists, hunting out new ideas, and trying to keep up with my kids ever-changing tastebuds.
