Chocolate

My love of chocolate/sweets has most certainly been passed on to my kids. Earlier this week the ice cream truck made a visit to our street and the kids were so thrilled you would have thought it was Christmas. Warner chose a Spiderman Popsicle and Maren chose a fudgesicle. Maren wasn't very excited about the picture however.If you know anything about me, you know nutrition is important to me and I am pretty strict about my family eating vegetables, protein, and other not-so-kid-friendly food. To be sure my family doesn't completely hate me for being a food Nazi, I generally have treats around. However they are sort of modified, more healthy versions these days. The fun part is, the kids don't know the difference. For instance, my "chocolate pudding" consists of 2 avocados, 2 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and a bit of honey. I think Maren's chocolate mustache here proves she is a fan, even if it is a sneaky, healthy treat.

Luke keeps asking if pudding is paleo so I will try your version of pudding and see if it passes with him. Thanks for the tip!
