Junk Food Express
In an attempt to get a few extra pounds on Abby and Zoë before their surgery, Chris stocked up on junk food that we don't normally keep in the house. We now have a spot in our cupboard that houses; crunchy Cheeto's, twisted puff Cheeto's, tortilla chips, and scoops chips. Also a host of little Debbie and hostess snacks including: strawberry shortcake rolls, swiss rolls, banana flavored twinkies, raspberry zingers, nutty bars, golden cupcakes as well as all chocolate cupcakes, oh and one Chris didn't even realize he'd gotten until we were putting it in the cupboard, fudge cake bars. Yeah... that's a lot of junk food. Our plan is to give a little of the "junk" along with other food they're already eating. So, after dinner we'll offer one of the goodies, since kids will almost always make room for treats. I can't believe the calories and fat in some of these things! In 7 of the puffs ( a serving) Cheeto's there are 10g of fat and 160 calories! The nutty bars are even worse with two cookie sticks containing 18g of fat and 310 calories! And Zoë will chow right through both cookies after a meal. Abby had a harder time finishing both cookies, but came pretty close after already having had seconds of dinner. Chris and I are just shocked at the nutrition facts on these things.
Abby @ 3 years, 8 months, 30 days
Zoë @ 3 years, 8 months, 30 days
Enzo expected in 1 year, 10 days
