1. Plans for the weekend?

2. What one website do you go on the most?

3. Coffee or Tea and what do you put in it?

No, I don't think you do.

He is overweight but he gets plenty of exercise, always has been a very active kid.  Usually more so than the older, thin one.  He could stand to eat less in terms of quantity, but generally if is the amount rather than the type if food he chooses that is problematic.  He likes vegetables but not fruit, which goes along with not really having much of a sweet tooth.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13px">So lots of carbs and fats?

What do your kids eat and your dh?

I care how I cook and how my family eats. I also don't cook like I do because it is the trend, or because it makes me look good, or makes me better than others. I cook the way I do because of three main reasons: 1) I like to eat reasonably healthy, 2) I enjoy the type of food I cook, and 3) I truly enjoy cooking.      Unless I'm having guests for dinner, my meals aren't influenced by what others think or do.</p><p style="font-size:13px"><strong>So why bother trying to show off your menus every week? Do you think they are out of the ordinary than the average person who cooks? Do you think it impresses people if you add rosemary to a marinade that is standard to a NON food snob like myself? lol.</strong></p>

I don't believe for a minute that you cook from scratch or close to the source most meals.

You appear to be claiming a much deeper knowledge of my household than I would have described; why don't you tell me?  

Not deeper knowledge, Just a rememberance about chef boyardee which you've shared before as if it were a staple in your home.  Now it appears to be organic, What a complete turn.

<p><span style="font-size:13px">Interesting enough, just came back from the grocery store, I don't always spend more for organic but I almost always spend more for quality food and while I'm not a picky eater either, I do like feeding my family good quality food.  For example my son takes his lunch to school everyday and I purchase quality lunch meet without fillers, additives and preservatives from the deli.  It's not organic by any means but it is more healthy for him then prepackaged sodium, preservative filled lunch meat.</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:13px">Sorry to hear that as I buy good lunch meat and it does not cost more than the junky brand. I also don't get it at my usual grocery store as they charge more than the place I go to. Just like my fresh fruits and vegetables. </span></strong></p>

My kids favorite lunchmeat is black forest ham.  I do think one local place slices it better and packages it better than the other grocery store.

I'm sorry, I can't begin to explain the logic of either jams or molls, it remains a mystery to me.
