Ultimate comfort food for me, even if I can't seem to make it like hers. Reese so far likes vegetables but of course, he's only a toddler. I'm anticipating he'll request a diet of things only in nugget form soon enough. My mother used to make some fantastic spaghetti sauce from scratch, and I loved her beef stew.

Growing up we ate crappy sugar cereals for breakfast and dinner was often something like bright orange Kraft mac&cheese with frozen fish sticks, or Steak Umms. Only if we were lucky would my mother make some Lebanese food based on long-standing family recipes. Then the food was actually "real" and not some highly processed food stuffs. And going out to eat was either fast food or something crappy like Lee Ann Chinn takeout. It wasn't until I turned 18 that I moved out on my own and began expanding my palate. Thankfully I had a good eight years to revamp my diet and explore my options before I became a mother. My nearly ten year old son has been vegan since birth - his childhood couldn't be more different than mine! The closest thing he's had to fast food is Punch pizza (he always orders a Margherita with mushrooms and arugula). And our CSA just started delivering but so far his fave has been the cherry belle radishes. Hoping to get him to sample a lot more produce this year than he did last. I’m in the same boat!
