Plans Gone Awry…

Written by Heather Haupt 2 Comments

Sometimes the best of plans still go awry…

That was most certainly the case at my home last week.  My sister had served one of my favorite chicken salads in little napa cabbage ‘boats’ a couple of weeks ago and I fell in love with them.  Cabbage has been the big thing I’ve craved this pregnancy.  So I decided to share the love with my family…

To get the boys excited about this new voyage (we normally serve this in pita’s or on a bed of lettuce), I decided to make them ‘officially’ into boats.

They were thrilled with the prospect of decorating their sails.

And loved the look of their completed boats…
 They were even excited to eat them…

Until they took that first bite of raw cabbage.  Four out of five in my family did not care for the meal combination…
Looks like I’m adrift on my own with this fascination with cabbage.  Hopefully, I’ve laid the groundwork for Greta though…  I’ve certainly eaten enough of it over the last 8 months.

    I’m thinking little Greta might be a raw vegan with all those cabbage cravings, ha ha! 🙂

    haha, oh no! they are super cute though! Your cabbage will wear off on them, I’m sure…I love cabbage, fresh or steamed but no one else seems to enjoy it either 🙂
