I find Leif's taste buds to be suprising. Sure, he loves popsicles, lollipops, and chips, sad-- but certainly not unexpected in our junk food society. Some of his other favorites though, make me laugh. For example: freshly ground wheat flour! Every time I grind some, he's up there on the counter sampling the batch.

"Hi there, I'm Mr. flour eater. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, excuse me...cough.....cough.....I think I inhaled this stuff! Cough."

Yes, he loves to eat flour.

He also LOVES mushrooms fried in butter. He can hardly wait as I'm cutting the mushrooms, and I have to keep telling him that they're almost done. He eats them so fast I can barely keep up! Another favorite of Leif's is baked kale. It's crunchy, garlicy goodness and simple to make. You stir kale leaves with olive oil and minced garlic and bake until they've started to crisp. I sprinkle a bit of salt on them before eating. Leif and I are the only ones on our family who find this really delicious, so maybe we're strange. You should try it and let me know what you think. :-)

You made it for me once and I loved it. I bet he loves it because you ate it when you were pregnant!
I can't believe how big he is.

do you cook the garlic first or just put it on raw? I am embarrassed to say I've never tried kale.

Hi Saraih, I love your blog on Leif eating the flour! My little boys love it too. And we eat kale all the time but more like a stir fry so i will have to try yours. I enjoyed visiting with you at the Niagara homeschool picnic, we talked about nurse midwives. Anyhow, just found your site and love it. Thanks Robin
