Mom of the year...

So, for a while I've really tried to change my families eating habits. I've been cooking a little better, shopping healthier... My husband and I grew up here in the south, so healthy cooking is just unheard of. In our families everything is fried, made with fat back, or some kind of grease is added to the food for seasoning. So we've changed simple things like using chicken stock in our veggies instead of bacon grease. Sounds elementary, I know, but you have to realize how great this is for us. My hubby and I both love healthier food, I just have to learn how to cook it.

So my biggest problem...SWEETS! We just can't get rid of this "healthy" habit. We are so totally addicted. I love to bake, and its something Taylor and I love to do together. So there is always something sweet in my house to eat. For example.....

Yes, I let my kids lick the batter from cup cakes while eating ice cream. O.k. so no one call social services on me. Ethan was so cute he kept going back and forth. One lick to the beater and then one to the ice cream. I'm not even going to tell you that this was right around dinner time. O.k. so this is not a regular habit. My dad came by and spoiled the children with ice cream as I was baking cup cakes for a family presentation night at CC. So we were already eating a late dinner. I have to defend myself.

So if anyone has any GOOD snack ideas, please let me know. I mean they have to be good!!! (they have to go against chuncky chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream) Who can beat that?? Maybe I'll wait until after I have the baby to fix this problem. No, really let me know your ideas.
