Jicama and Mango

I've always been trying new fruits and vegetables for the kids to try. Since I like many different fruits and vegetables and I like trying new things. I thought it's something we could do together that I think is fun. So this last shopping trip I bought jicama for an add in to our salad and mangoes. The kids were leery about the jicama but I told Ethan it was like an apple and that got him to try it. They like jicama now. I also picked up a bunch of mangoes and Sophie and Ethan love those as well. Now Ethan asks for a mango for a snack almost everyday. Yesterday I was shocked when he ate a whole can of pineapple and the juice all by himself for his snack. I'm glad they like fruits and vegetables. I also grew up being told that if you're hungry and want a snack, to eat a fruit. I agree with this rule and might make it one of my own. I was exposed to a lot of unusual fruits at an early age and so I like a lot of different fruits and veggies. I'm hoping that by me doing the same, my kids will be more adventuress with food and will be healthy eaters.
