Lovely article, Mari. Thank you for being so positive about your mom and dad. Note: I can attest to the deliciousness of the kale recipe; Casey makes it frequently when she is here.
I agree 💯. I never “made” (or even requested) my kids eat anything. They ate whatever was on offer, however much or however little, or they didn’t. It worked out well for us.
This was delightful -- both the sensible advice plus the bonus Calvin references! I'm so glad I clicked over. Sounds like your mom was much like mine. I actually liked broccoli and bell peppers as a kid, so she didn't worry too much about what I ate and never insisted I try anything in particular, which I always appreciated. She was very anti-candy when I was little, though. I had to give up all but a few pieces of my Halloween stash every year so she could give it to "the Great Pumpkin" (which years later I found out meant "the nurses' lounge at work," lol).
Nice article. Loved the opening about Ruthsue. Great advice, nice recipe - Well done! (Pardon the pun ...was tempted to keep going - but I refrained!!!!) Love your articles

Mom, is that you? Weird--your comment comes up as being from me! Thanks for the lovely comment!

Your mom sounds extremely cool! I love the Great Pumpkin tax as a means of keeping your kids' candy consumption down!

I like the pun! And I have always loved that story about Ruthsue!
Thank you for never serving cabbage soup, LOL
Ha! Never!
But I love cabbage soup! 😂
Oh, me too--now! As a little kid, not so much.
