I think we made some progress today. I let the kids finish the donut supply and explained to them that we could no longer buy them because they were bad for our bodies. Surprisingly, no one cried and the sugar rush that followed reminded me of why sugar is our enemy. We began next weeks menu with marginal success.
We then went and bought the Jack LaLanne power juicer at Bed, Bath, Beyond. With the 20% off coupon, it was $80. I put a link here to show you which one. I am in love with this thing. I let my kids make my juice because I figured if they started touching veggies, they might be less scared of them. The Beaner was all about her cucumber, celery, grape and apple juice whereas the other two wouldn't touch it. We made daddy a yummy one when he arrived from work and he was quite happy.
My final step today was to make a new rule. The meat and veggies have to stay on your plate through dinner and if you try them, you get a hole punch in your reward card. Rooster and Bear were fine with that rule.
Now my bread maker is making Bob Mill's Gluten Free bread which happens to be a great deal at Amazon. I think it might be time for some tomato juice...

oooooh I want a juicer!!! My sister has one and she loves it. Do you have the one where you don't have to peel the skin off of the fruit?
I love 20% off BBB coupons too. :)
awesome!!!! I want a juicer, I'm worried we won't remember to use it! LOL Does it taste pretty yummy???? It won't let me sign in for some reason...so it's me: KIMMY!!! :-) HUGS!
Liz, you don't have to do anything other than wash your produce, and remove pitts. I threw the entire celery stalk, cucumber, grapes still on the vine and a whole apple in. Kim, it was super yummy. It was green in color so Bear was a little concerned. They laughed when they saw carrots spit out orange and grapes spit out green.
