L'Enfant Gourmet


Sometimes she eats better than we do.

Molly, that is. Pictured above: Braised lamb with fresh rosemary and baked sweet potato. She loved it. Snarfed it, even. Gourmet meets gourmand.

I need to requalify my first statement. Molly ALMOST ALWAYS eats better than we do.

We're talking organic raisins and applesauce. Unpasteurized aged Gouda. Whole-grain, sprouted bread.

If we sold our house and bought a big tent to live in, I could afford to feed my whole family this way. As it stands, I'm giving the best to my baby. As she gets older, I'll have to compromise. I'll trust her body to better handle the pasteurized dairy, for instance (much to my sorrow). I'll slum it and give her regular ol' raisins like the rest of my deprived offspring.

But for now, she's my Earth Baby. Breast milk and Really Good Food.

Eleven months later and I'm still completely ga-ga. I intend to stay this way for quite some time.

It's keeping me young!

LOL Steph! Too funny.....

I think it's great that Molly is getting the best of the best right now. Her system is immature and you are doing everything you can to ensure that she stays healthy!

I feed my family a lot of organic foods. It makes me feel good but at the same time even MORE guilty when we do have things that I know are deemed safe by the FDA but are not necessarily safe. *Cough* *Sputter*

At least bugs are all natural! :-D
