Hey! There is no ice cream or cookies in time out. Unless they are both home made to go along with one of the 3 required cooked meals per day. Then it's ok.
My kids are on their own except for dinner-- which means cereal (I don't buy sugar coated), toast, bagel, fruit, sandwich, or leftovers for breakfast and lunch. I usually cook a dessert every other day in addition to dinner, plus separate meals for husband and myself (which kids are welcome to, but they're picky). I don't have soda, candy or processed foods in the house (other than sandwich bread). All my kids are thin and so are husband and myself.

Um...slice and bake. Some of it's still raw, actually. But I keep it in a cooler full of ice, so there's not much salmonella...

Oh, no way. One dinner. Uno. Whoever doesn't like what's on the menu is welcome to fast.
::disclaimer:: If you want to cook separate dinners for your own family, I have no problem with it. It doesn't make you a bad parent or a horrible person (or conversely, a great parent) or anything. But I don't like fixing meals (as opposed to cooking, which I love) enough to do so, myself.
BOTH parents should know how to add boiling water to the Top Ramen. Good Parenting 101.
LOL Ramen noodles are my daughter's favorite.
Of course I wreck it by adding chicken (cooked in lemon pepper marinade), carrots, celery, and spring onion, but she eats it all anyway. (it's actually quite tasty!)
Well, my almost 3 year old is obese according to charts. We make all 3 meals, no fast food, no soda, no juice, no fried foods.
Breakfast: always skim milk and fruit, with either scrambled egg, oatmeal (the real stuff), yogurt, toast, and sometimes pancakes/french toast.
Lunch: water, cut up veggies with either hummus or cottage cheese, maybe a sandwich or whole wheat pita with hummus, sometimes a grilled cheese.
Dinner: what we have
He gets 3 good meals with minimal junk and he's still 46lbs at almost 3 years old.
hhhhmmm that doesn't sound right. Maybe he will have a growth spurt soon and thin out. what you wrote is fairly similar to what my kids eat. My almost 6 yo is 49 lbs.
well weekends, holidays and summer which is right now they don't have school lunches. And what's wrong with midnight snacks? U can make a graham-cracker tomoto sandwich, or something.
Ew, I don't think tomato and graham crackers go together at all.
Anyway, by midnight I've already been asleep for a couple of hours, and I don't snacksleepwalk!
