GIVEAWAY: It’s ALL about the Chocolate Milk!

Princess Cara is a persnickety eater. She doesn’t like food to touch, doesn’t like it if there is “things” in her food (eg. there can be NO bits of anything in her food/sauce – PERIOD),  no excess “juice” or water on her fruits and/or vegetables. She prefers foods that are simple and easily identified. It doesn’t sound complicated, but it is…and makes for fixing her meals – healthy meals- a hassle.

One thing she does love is chocolate milk; but despite her issues with mixing food, this is the one time where you can’t just fix her a glass of chocolate milk…it HAS to be the milk from her CocoPuffs cereal. GO FIGURE. We used to just give her just enough puffs to make the milk chocolate and then she would pick up the bowl and drink the milk or I would pour it into a glass after she ate the the cereal. Mmmm Hmmm. SPECIAL.

THEN…I got the opportunity to give Big G cereals new Curvy Straws a try…and WHA LA! A Happy Kid. No more slurping out the bowl or pouring into a glass.
