I have to admit that I am one of the many Americans who do NOT like

vegemite. One of our friends from in between Sydney and Canberra sent us some

and some of those clay pigeons that are called ANZAC cookies. I liked the

cookies even if they were hard to chew but couldn't handle the vegemite. The

penpal (who also has a son with DS) was terribly offended. He wasn't too

impressed with Oreos (even though he wanted to try them). He says they cost

$7.00 a bag there.

Re: Dinner help

Vegemite is a concentrated yeast spread, and has lots of vitamin B.

Smears very well onto the tele and childeren too - if the jar has a big

enough opeing for a childs hand and it is left on the kitchen bench and

mummy is in bed :) It is black and reasonably smelly. It used to be

made of beer hops :) Us Aussies used to own it, but now the US owns

vegemite-cracks me up, as I have not met an American that likes it yet

:) hehehe. it is nice on toast.

Oh, Maverick is into peanut butter and jelly tortillas!

He wants them in his lunch, he wants them for snack after school and he will

often have them for dinner as an alternate to what we are having!

Bridget, too eats a fairly balanced diet, although

limited. She does not like mac and cheese, and will

eat some things at school and not at home. She likes

her hamburgers (I limit the cheese because of

constipation), chicken nuggets, hot dogs, french

fries, pizza and spaghetti. She used to eat pancakes

and waffles but prefers chicken nuggets, ham, or

turkey even for breakfast. Our newest fad is pita

(pocket) bread. I even have her eating peanut butter

on pocket bread.

The oddest thing is that she will only drink grape

Wylers (like Kool Aid) drink. She will not drink the

Kool Aid brand, too strong. I and my own sugar and

keep it sort of tart.

For veggies, I usually have to feed her these, but she

doesn't fight me on it, just will not feed them to

herself. I also put veggies on her pizza and in her

spaghetti sauce. We do okay with fruit. She

especially likes Mango, go figure.

Kids are funny. I have found Bridget does not need

very much to eat. I also have gone to letting her eat

when she is hungry. We have gotten into the cookie

mode and she will not eat lunch and then come back and

ask for Oreos. I do tell her she has to eat her lunch

first, lol.

One of our favorites here!! My grandmom used to make zucchini parmesean

instead of eggplant paremesean (another favorite!) My mother in law loved to

make frittatas with zucchini.

I love to take a bunch of summer veggies, including zucchini of course, stir

fry, sprinkle a package of Good Seasons dry Italian dressing into the veggies

..... scrumptious!!!

HI :)

I am soooo bad, Ive never saved a label :( but after hearing thism it will

serve as a reminder and I sure will start.

I have saved the Mcs happy meals toys and donated them to the treasure

box for Resource at Sara's school. Sara could careless about them so its not

hard to snatch them up and stick them in a big bag.
