week 42: glorious plantain

mamajon discovered a shop that sells plantain! bliss! rapture! mamajon grew up in ivory coast, and papajon and jon have been duly introduced to the great taste of aloko.

mamajon bought a bag full of ripe plantain, a few packs of foutou and a few bags of plantain crips… couldn’t help it…

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I find your blog very inspiring. I have been reading for months now and it’s listed under ‘my fave blogs to read’ on my bookmarks list with just three others. It’s really admirable that you take the time to cook decent food for your child. My question is, what is your trick? How do you get them to eat this food?

    thank you Kelly for stopping by and for your comments. the blog has not been updated in AGES!!! i need to work on that :)

    there is no trick honest. jon has always been a good eater, and we usually have a very diversified diet at home, we like to vary and try foods from all over the world. we introduced jon to food when he was 8 months, and he has been eating it every since :) he goes through phases, he went through a phase where he hated broccoli, now he loves it. for the past year he does not eat mushrooms, but other than that, he pretty much eats everything that lands on his plate :)
