Do I talk too much about food?
... probably because preparing it is one of the things that takes up most of my day. And I happen to love good food!
I mentioned earlier that the twins are eating a lot of new foods. They love lentils! I've made sweet potato-lentil-rice balls, mujaddarah, pumpkin-lentil soup, and they've loved all of them!
They also happen to love two of the most time-consuming snacks in the history of baby food...
I was Skyping with Matt's mom and she recommended a snack that she used to feed her kids when they were little. I love this snack too, so I decided to give it a try!
Because they don't have teeth, I can only give them the parts without the hard kernel. That means pulling them apart then giving them only the soft parts.
Believe me, it wasn't easy keeping up with two girls excited to have a new snack!
I ended up finishing up the bag while they were napping.
This was the result of my efforts ... LOL ... Not much for about an hour's worth of work.
But the girls loved having it later for a snack and it was so much easier to just give them handfuls than pieces at a time. We've had popcorn several times since. 
A couple days later our friends took us to the store and treated the girls to some fruits and veggies. One of the fruits they haven't tried yet ... GRAPES!
Because of the choking hazard, I pull the grapes apart and peel them first. I've become quite the grape-peeling pro! Yet again, it is probably one of the most time-consuming snacks they've had...
Will they be foodies like their mommy?
... or eaters like their daddy?
Squirt loves grilled cheese. She's just like her daddy,
One of my favorites ... guacamole! Both girls love it. Thankfully avocados are on sale because we've been eating them up! Of course, I see lots of sharing and double batches in my future ;)
We're counting down the days until Matt comes back. (Well, he needs to book his flight before that can really happen.) But we've already started talking about all the things we want to do with him when he gets back. I'll have to share some of the things we miss most in a later post ...
Until next time!
