[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 424710, member: 11791"] "Fromage frais" = Fresh Cheese. I haven't been exposed to that one since I spent a few months in Quebec (years ago). And yes, it isn't "like" anything else... Rice salad = same concept as pasta salad, only the starch is rice instead of pasta. (our family won't touch pasta salad, so this probably wouldn't work either... our favorite mix-up is "wraps") You're actually doing pretty good if the kid is eating those things... Cut out sugar? How on earth do you do that when husband needs a chocolate fix every day??? Seriously? Everyone is allowed a small quantity of quality chocolate every day. Kids get theirs after some form of exercise. Deserts are mostly fruit-based, for a treat we add a little ice cream or sorbet or whipped topping... once a week or so, we have something home-baked (brownies anyone?) but I use the excuse that there isn't time during the week. That isn't going to work much longer... K2 is getting old enough and good enough to keep us in baking 24/7! More importantly, where are most of the calories coming from? If they are getting good portions of protein, veggies, fruit, fiber, milk, etc., then... its hard to say "no" to sugar. [/QUOTE]
