Last weekend we attended Brantford's annual, Chili Willy cook off. The chili was AH-MA-ZING! However, out door events like this are pretty hard with a little one, that is less than impressed with the cold. He's been a little "off" for a few days (You know when you can't put them down, and all they want is snuggles and sleep. I don't know why, but babies always have random periods where they throw their parents for a loop.)
We toughed it out, and ate a bunch of yummy chili. The chef's was the best. (her real life name is Jasmine) They didn't quite win, but coming in second by one vote, is a win in my books. It will be really great next year, we may even be able to get Jackson on the ice (they have a free skate for kids there), and Jackson may actually like to eat meat by then. Maybe....i hope!?!? (ANY tips for kids who hate meat? Our doc advised against chicken fingers, nuggets, bacon or sandwich meat, because of the obvious unhealthiness of it.)
Mr. H is the resident chili maker in our house. Now the pressure is on for him to make a chili that can match the awesomeness we tasted this weekend! We've never really tried to do anything different with our chili. Now i'm stoked to try one out with some pulled pork, and some sweetness. Or, to have Marcus try it out that is!
Happy Hump Day!

Owen rarely eats meat too. He likes ham but at our house we tend to be more into chicken and fish.
In Deceptively Delicious, there is a "healthy" way to make chicken strips. They're made with whole grain bread crumbs, ground flax, coconut & other items. I made it with sliced local, grain fed chicken.
These boys just have to add a challenge to our days (keeps us on our toes I guess?).
I have found that he likes chicken if it is dark meat, and roast (pork or beef) he still doesn't eat much, but our doc said that babies really do't need a lot of meat.
