sick and tired

the babe is sick. sick babes are the worst for a number of reasons. as a mother, it is heartbreaking when your kid is sick and you can't do anything but wait for it all to pass. also, as a mother, it is incredibly tiring to be the only thing that will make it all better. i don't think this makes me a terrible mother. i think it makes me an honest one. however, since this is a blog about food. . .here are some summer cold busters. . .
watermelon!
berry minty popsicles
graham crackers
blueberries
quinoa with parmesan
water!
watermelon!
these are the only things hendrix will eat. keep this in mind when your kids are sick. or you are. he really does seem to be energized for a short period after eating them. and then he sneezes.
