Thanks to the reader who B.) reminded us today is April 1st* B.) April 1st is April Fool’s Day** C.) sent in this link http://familyfun.go.com/aprilfools/ to trick/prank/fool your family with recipe ideas and activities.
Not that we support fooling your family. Have you read Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food by Jessica Seinfield (who married the guy who did the voice of Barry in the Bee Movie – remember him…what ever happened to him?)
After reading a recipe in that book which married cauliflower and brownies (really)- I concluded fooling my family wasn’t tasteful (literally).
Sometimes I think they are pranking me…like when Thing 2 said “Mommy – why are you dressing so fancy?” when I was wearing jeans. Then, I humbly realized – it was no joke – jeans are up-dressing in my oh-so-comfy-work-at-home-world of yoga pants. [my mom gave me a gift certificate for my birthday to buy something which would make me feel good and look nice for my husband to come home to — thought that was a prank too] {both my presumption they were pranking me & their comments on my attire prove I am obviously gullible and look-trailer-chique].
*April 1st – headed to Great Wolf Lodge – look for the Parent Club write-up!
**April 1st is my sister-in-law’s birthday (no foolin’). As I will be away – could someone kindly call/skype France and wish her joyeux anniversaire from me please
Have fun at Great Wolf. It certainly better than the wet, gray weather we’re having right now. And since you’re away and didn’t see my twitter”I’ve been asked to take my blog down due to some of it’s content http://tinyurl.com/dkkgk8 Has this ever happened to you?Cheers
I support fooling my family with food…a good friend of mine has a very yummy recipe for chocolate zucchini bread and I’ve learned that if I blend vegetables in pasta sauce I can get my kids to eat a healthier sauce! It really comes down to getting more vegetables into their bodies!
