Grapefruit Waffles

Every school day my kids start their day off with a hot breakfast.  I've had more than a few moms call me crazy for doing this over the years, but nothing makes me happier than sending them out the door with a full stomach to start their day.  It also has the added advantage of creating less pressure to ensure their bagged lunch is meeting their nutritional needs, especially when I know how often it comes home only half ate.

If you ever come to my home for dinner, you might be surprised by the comments made.  My children have been known to describe a meal as a "nice effort" and "good, but not my best."  As a parent, I am constantly striving to raise respectful and responsible children with excellent manners.  However, when it comes to food I tend to encourage my family to give feedback, both good and bad.

It was only a matter of time I suppose.  All these years of blog reading would eventually lead to me writing my own.  I love going back to the very first post of my favourite blogs.  It's always awkward and not the least like their current writings.  So I suppose, that is how it will begin.  Clunky and awkward and perhaps move forward to something different.
