So, if you're monitoring Will's meals in the sidebar, you'll notice that his dinners are often repetitive and consist of leftovers. I feel a little silly about it, but there's a lot of practicality in it. Because except for his favorite food, bananas, the kid can't chow down an entire portion in one sitting. So, his can of red beans will probably last four meals. And we're all eating on that potato salad and melon this week! So, as long as I think it's a healthy food, and as long as he keeps eating it (rather than feeding it to Rachel), I'll keep serving it. Especially when that makes meal prep done in less than 30 seconds -- only 5 seconds longer than Will is willing to wait! :-)
