Nachos!

It's Tuesday at my house, (Although this won't post until Thursday.) and we have a picky eater. I don't know how it happened. We never offer an alternative to dinner, and there's no dessert or treat for kids who don't eat, but we still have a little girl, who would rather not eat dinner or dessert, than eat something she doesn't love. However, tonight is Tuesday. Taco Tuesday. It's Taco Tuesday at our house EVERY Tuesday. It's the one night a week, where I know she will polish off every last bite of her dinner.

So here we are. Tuesday night. Same old same old. Tacos are actually a huge hit for everyone here. All my kids love them, and they're one of Dave's favorite meals. But I have to admit, I'm a little sick of tacos. Tonight, we mixed it up a bit, and had nachos. Tessa, of course, still had to eat hers in the form of a taco, but the rest of the kids had Nachos. It seems a bit junk-foody, because they're nachos, but we LOADED them with lettuce, onion, tomato, and avocado.

I'm hoping that one day, our picky little girl, will branch out, broaden her horizons, and try something new. I encourage it at each meal. But so far to no avail. But I guess that's just her right now. Until she's ready to branch out. . .we will enjoy tacos. Every. Single. Tuesday.
