Pickles and Berries, Oh My!

Livvy is picking up speed on the eating once again. She seems insatiable. She munches, snacks and eats full meals. Her basic menu remains fairly stable with yogurt, pasta, cheese and peas as the main ingredients of her diet. Honestly we're still thrilled when she eats anything. Lately, she's become more adventurous. She ate a few Bubbies pickles -- a kosher variety of brined pickles. She eats blueberries, and fresh black berries when we pick them near the BART path. She likes muffins, too, even the ones willed with dried fruits and nuts. Healthy muffins! Imagine that! She still likes sweets when she can get them, but she eats them in total moderation. A little ice cream here (this weekend, she ate a small cup of our homemade lemon verbena ice cream), or a small cookie there. She almost never asks for more than a small portion. The only food she gets absolutely insane about is "Black" raisins (chocolate covered raisins -- which we've all but eliminated from her diet.... they now serve as a reward for a successful pee-pee on the potty.) And, for those keeping track, the average price per pound of the foods she likes has been reduced from $10/lb to $9.79/lb.
