October 9, 2010-Chicken Fingers

Dinner is always a challenge.  When you have a 5, almost 6 year old, it's often hard to find something that she'll eat with out making faces or straight up refusing.
Okay, I'll admit it, for a long time we didn't push her as hard to eat what we ate because, well, frankly, we ate out a lot.  A.  Lot.
So we'd often ask her what she wanted from the various restaurants we were choosing.  We tried to pick places that had fruit or veggies as available sides for kids (and adults) but we weren't militant about it.  Luckily, we're trying to cook at home more and eat more veggies and fruits at dinner.  Not to mention, we're working on all of us having the same meal as a family.

However, on one particular take out for dinner night:

Me: Ella, do you want chicken fingers?
Ella: No.  I don't really like them.  They're chicken.  And they have fingers.  Not hilarious.
