Quite honestly, I cook with my daughter because when she cooks it, she'll eat it, no problem. I've taught cooking classes with 5 years who looked at the ingredients and said before we started cooking that no way would they eat that. Then, once we are done, they gobble it up - delicious healthful food that many had never eaten before like salad! They are always fully engaged and feel a sense of accomplishment because they can see and eat their results. Kudos for you for taking the time to do this with your daughter. It will not only give her a life long skill, a special time with her Dad that she'll always remember but a healthful appetite.

I love reducing cheap balsamic down to delicious syrup and putting a little on top of brussel sprouts that have been roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roasted asparagus with freshly grated Parmesean is great.

Seedless Celementine oranges - could devour a whole case!

Whole wheat toast, dijon mustard, red leaf lettuce and hard boiled egg

Vegetable soup made up of whatever is fresh at the market and little brown rice to fill you up

Steamed broccoli with soy sauce, lemon juice and pinch of sugar and red pepper flakes

Banana smoothie with low or no-fat Greek yogurt, banana, dash of vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon

Ginger/lemon tea - just put one lemon halved or quartered, couple cubes of ginger peeled and pour hot water. If you want a little sweet, add a little honey.

Salad of sliced fennel, apples, celery, red onion and a couple toasted walnuts with a sprinkle of fresh oj and salt and pepper.

Roasted beets with orange slices, red onion and feta with reduced balsamic or just oj.
