Spaghetti Wednesday

We don't actually eat spaghetti every Wednesday, though we frequently have it once a week because it is so easy to make and so satisfying to eat. Also, as long as we use whole wheat pasta, it complies with our Weight Watchers Core diet. So, tonight we ate whole wheat spaghetti with meat sauce and a salad of my own creation. I sliced half of an avocado along with half of a peeled apple, interspersed them along two plates and topped it all with lime juice, course kosher salt, and diced red onion. Dave and I had both had big salads for lunch so we were starving by dinner and not feeling like a lot more vegetables.

The girls also had spaghetti sub canned carrots for the salad. There are few fruits and vegetables that they will eat. I think the list maxes out at 5 or 6. This is somewhat of a sore subject with me as I have been diligent all of their short lives in terms of the introduction and re-introduction of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Despite this, they generally prefer canned unless it's a banana.
