I found you from Crystal Paine's blog. Interesting that you pick the number 8. I'm always trying to add more and more fruits and veggies into our diet. I'm especially convicted because the government here in Australia actually pushes 5 serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruit as the minimum amount we should all be striving to eat per day. Interesting isn't it? Hi! I found you from Crystal Paine’s blog. Interesting that you pick the number 8. I’m always trying to add more and more fruits and veggies into our diet.

We eat raw carrots and broccoli everynight but as soon as I provide any cooked vegetables or salad greens they turn up their noses in disgust. I keep trying though.

(I know you're not supposed to wash berries ahead of time, but they won't last the day here.) I'm really trying to make fruits and vegetables the bulk of what we eat, although sometimes it's hard. Thank goodness for salads, LOL! I’ve got a bowl of strawberries washed and waiting on the counter, all ready for anyone who wants to grab a few.

I bombed the sugar one, but this one, I think I can come close to! Yesterday we had about 6! We had pita sandwiches with lettuce, onions, and cukes for lunch. Supper was a chicken cass. stuffed with onions and broc and another side veggie. Hats off to a challenge that I can swing! -Donna- This is a challenge I can better handle… I bombed the sugar one, but this one, I think I can come close to!

At supper I've been working on consistently having a tray of sliced apples/oranges or pineapple and grapes or fruit salad on the table. It really is a challenge to prepare healthy meals and make sure everyone is getting what they need - can't just throw a pizza on the table...it takes extra work - but it needs to be done. And better for the kids to get into the habit of lots of fruit/veggies while they are young.

Wow... I'll try. Maybe my 4 year old daughter can help. Her favorite lunchtime fare is fresh broccoli and carrots with ranch dip. She makes sure her veggies are on the grocery list when we run low. :-) I'm more of a fresh fruit type myself. Eight?! Wow… I’ll try. Maybe my 4 year old daughter can help.

Wow. I'm going to shoot for convincing my kids and husband to eat a minimum of 3 though. I can handle it ... the grumblers are coming along slowly though. Maybe it will surprise me. :) I’m with you…I will try for 8 servings a day this week. Wow. I’m going to shoot for convincing my kids and husband to eat a minimum of 3 though.
