The Food Burglars

For a change, this post is not about me and my issues/struggles with food. Nope, it's about how, after a nutritionally balanced and usually hearty meal, the five boys (plus one lovable husband) in my house still gorge themselves on evening chow.

Example: last night's dinner was poached chicken on pasta with parmesan and roasted butternut squash. We finished eating at about 7:30ish. I came downstairs this morning and found:

- 2 empty salsa jars in recycling
- 1 empty bag of corn chips
- empty cookie jar (had just been re-filled with an entire box)
- empty 1/2 gallon ice cream container

And that's just the stuff that made it to the garbage/recycling. I'm afraid to see what got left behind in the basement.

However, I can report that the Honey Crisp apples, cut-up strawberries and baby carrots were exactly where I left them. :)

So it goes, and we choose happy.....
