Throw all leftovers away.

And if they're not eating it maybe there is a reason? That fakey pancake syrup is so freaking gross! Have you tried real maple syrup? My kids liked it mixed with natural peanut butter and spread on their waffles (I made our waffles using oat and whole wheat flour, but there are several brands of healthy whole grain waffles available now) and topped with fresh strawberry and banana slices. I would make faces on the waffles for them

I am living evidence that a person can get fat on a whole foods diet, even on a vegetarian one. So I don't believe that healthy eating is 100% of the solution to weight loss. A calorie is still a calorie. But not a single one of my children has a weight problem. So I do think that starting little humans off with healthy habits makes a huge difference.

Some days I miss when they were small I used to think that with 5 of them I was never going to get a minute to myself and would wish them "big." And now? LOL

So enjoy!

The secret to not eating leftovers is to get.....


CHICKENS!


LOL I'm serious, though. We have chickens and all of our scraps go into the "chicken bucket". When I commited myself to eating healthier and avoiding temptation, I just dumped everything off the kids' plates into the bucket. You would NEVER risk taking it back out! Ha, ha. NOt why we have chickens, but I sure do love them more for it!

Kid leftovers are SO hard, b/c you cooked, they wasted and it looks tasty. ;-) Start a compost bucket and FORCE yourself to scrape it all into there....every time.
