Connor's dad helped him make meatballs last weekend which he delightfully consumed. (Don't tell Dad, I think it was ground turkey ...)Connor is somewhat of a vegetarian (although he doesn't eat many vegetables, ha ha! I know! I'm a terrible parent!). He's just not that into food. He doesn't even have a favorite food! So his dad made that one of his new year's resolutions - to try more new foods, and to find a favorite one. This meat-ball making activity was part of that. Apparently he's enjoyed meatballs as part of school lunches in the past. But with gravy?! according to him.
Unfortunately, after this first session, he turned his nose up at the leftover meatballs.
However he did eat (and enjoy) tilapia a few days later. Now if we could just add some color to his diet in the form of fruits and vegetables ... think I'll try sweet potatoes.
