My daughter, Elli, is obsessed with Master Chef Junior. To be honest, I am too. How do these 6-year old\u2019s know more spices than me and how to use to them? It\u2019s amazing to watch. She asked if she could make a menu and cook for the family. I was delighted to help. She sent me to the store for chicken, carrots and avocados. Yes, so very basic. She seasoned her chicken, placed in skillet with ghee, seared on both sides and set aside. She seasoned carrots baked them in the oven. Elli cut up avocado and fresh tomato for a salad and drizzled with Tessamae Balsamic. To finish off the chicken, she fried an egg and placed on top. Friends, she was so proud and it was plated beautifully as you can see. The whole family enjoyed it. Chef Ramsay would have definitely awarded her a \u201cwhite apron\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I posted the pic to my Facebook page. There was a post on it that asked about the avocado salad. I gave him the recipe quickly. Soon after, I saw his wife. Puzzled, I engaged about his question of the salad. Her answer baffled me. She said \u201cI don\u2019t like avocados, so I don\u2019t buy them. He loves them. I also don\u2019t buy grapes because I don\u2019t like them, but my family does.\u201d I was like, I am sooooo using that on my blog today. She hit the nail on the head. She buys the groceries, and if she doesn\u2019t like it then it doesn\u2019t get put in the cart. How many of us do the same thing? GUILTY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a thought\u2026<\/strong> Make that grocery list with everyone\u2019s input. This way everyone will feel like they contributed. You may even notice a more eager bunch ready to unload the back end of your vehicle. It\u2019s a family affair.   Don\u2019t eat my avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us have the exact same grocery mannerism as our mother. We buy the same thing over and over again. Creatures of habit is what is it called. You are your mother. Reality is setting in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some things to think about and maybe start changing. Remember, change is hard but you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
