High Fructose Corn Syrup

I know, today has been a day of fairly serious posts. I can't even begin to apologize, because this is just part of who I am. I just hope I don't lose you all! lol

I receive newsletters from Eating Well and love the information they send. Lots of recipes and such.

Today their newsletter included information about High Fructose Corn Syrup. There's been some new research, and apparently HFCS can contain Mercury. Lovely! I'm so glad that I read labels and ban the nasty stuff.

Meals

Nathan is getting better at self feeding, which is exciting and sad at the same time. My baby is growing up all too fast!

This morning his breakfast consisted of a bottle of milk, yogurt, applsauce & cheerios.

Lunch was again a sippy cup of milk, graham crackers, pears, carrots and brocoli.

Dinner will probably consist of macaroni noodles, scrabbled eggs and some more veggies. Before bed he will get another bottle.

Usually he has a bit more protein in his daily diet, but I don't have any chicken cooked. Bad mommy.

I love that he doesn't care if the foods "go" together. haha Right now, I am learning how to plan two seperate sets of meals. I'm barely managing one set of meals!! Thankfully, the men in my life aren't picky in the least. Fill their bellies & they are happy.

Here's some pictures from lunch.
