Saturday, while I was stuck home with an upset stomach, Matt and Alex headed to Earth Fare for the latest Red's Round-Up; a healthy-eating club for kids the store hosts each month.
This month, it was all about Greens.
Matt took just a few pictures, but apparently the kids learned about different types of greens, tried a green veggie/fruit juice (which Alex liked so much, Matt promptly purchased a bottle), and made a spinach pizza.
I'm a lucky Mom; I rarely have to disguise or force upon Alex those nutritioius foods at which most kids turn up their button noses. He'll happily try, and often eat, just about any fruit or vegetable we place in front of him.
Which certainly makes this parenting-thing a lot easier.
Blog Party 8 has been announced, and this month, we're having Brunch! Turn your favorite breakfast foods into bite-sized treats, and join the party! Your entries are due no later than tomorrow, 16 March; Blog Party is 18 March. Hope to see you there!

- Finally, As Promised:jalapeno-cornmeal Muffins
Indira's been waiting, and here they are! Muffins for Matt, three jalapenos, minced, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, and mashed potatoes (recipe calls for zucchini, but ours went bad), topped with grated cheese (Asiago), and baked till dry and firm....
- A Study In Chocolate
Another Red's Round-Up (kids's party) at Earth Fare; this time the kids were given (small amounts of) chocolate to try. Alex got to try a Venezuelan dark chocolate... one in milk carob chips more Venezuelan chocolate, this time white rice...

In fact, it is easy being green.
