How Much is Too Much?

I made a yummy dinner last night of Lemon Pepper Tilapia, rice pilaf, and steamed broccoli. I had to practically pin Emma down to keep her from eating Jason's helping of tilapia-the child ate one and a half fillets, plus her rice and broccoli! Ally did try the fish. I got her to eat three bites before she was "done" with that. She didn't try the rice, but did eat ALL of her broccoli! Then asked for more! And ate all of that.....then asked for MORE! Yes, three good helpings of broccoli! Which leads me too ask...is it too much for one sitting? I didn't notice any unusual side effects, but was really wondering, you know? Since that's all she consumed for dinner, I didn't know what it might do to her tummy! Hey, I'm am not letting that stop me. We really have broccoli about 3 times a week now that Ally has chosen it as her only vegetable intake. It is jam packed with good stuff, though! Yay!

The more the better in my opinion. Broccoli is just about the best veggie on the planet for us. Good Choice Ally!

Hey... think about the benefits on...err...the other end ;)
Eat up Ally Bear!

Yeah my kids eat their broccoli and spinach in puree form and the color on the "other end" is often amazing! :-)

I only wish I would have to wonder if A was getting enough veggies. It's still V8 Fusion juice for her :)
