Kai had his check-up and flu shot yesterday. I did remember to ask his doctor about his dairy intake and he said that it was alright as long as he doesn't go over 24 ounces of milk a day. Great, now to figure out how to get him back to unflavored milk. We made some progress on the vegetable consumption. Calling broccoli florets 'little trees' actually work! He gobbled them up like a giant! He also ate squash puree because we told him it was pumpkin (he's on a pumkin kick because of Halloween). Jimmy made sea bass and red quinoa for us the other night and surprisingly Kai ate everything. Go Dad!
Quinoa is a complete grain with a very high protein content. It is cooked like rice and it has a nice nutty flavor and some crunch like brown rice. I used the leftover quinoa to add to my black bean chorizo soup (recipe to be written; it's one of those put everything in the pot soups).
My menu planning for this week is going two days at a time. Last night we had chicken cacciatore with pasta and tonight I haven't decided yet.
