| Hungry for Hungary! |
Hah. So looking back at that photograph now, it looks a lot greasier and unhealthy than it really is. I'm not saying this is the most dietary rigid meal around, but it certainly isn't greasy, and that the yellow color isn't butter or cheese. It's organic chicken stock and paprika, along with the chicken that tints it that way, just to clarify.
Anyway, this is chicken paprikash, a Hungarian dish that we ate last night, and as always, loved it. Sydni especially favors this one, which is fine with me since there's really not much to it aside from exactly what you see. Chicken, mashed potatoes, paprika, a bit of flour, and just a touch of fat free sour cream.

This was one of my favorites growing up, and I would definitely recommend it! [Added benefit: Prep time + cook time = about 40 min., less if you're not mashing your own potatoes!]
Just thought we'd show you some action shots of our paprikash party....

We're in the habit now of feeding ourself! One of the quirks of motherhood is attempting a task and realizing through it that your child has so many of your personality characteristics. Example: Without thinking, I dished out Sydni's food and we sat down to eat. I put some on her fork to feed her, but was met with a scowl and whiny protest... because sheeeee had to do it, alone. Does this make for a bit messier of an experience? Yes. Does she feel like a big girl? Yes. Was Mama the exact same way as a kid? Yes.
