I now have a perennial salad corner at my dining table. Here, I make sure I always have raisins, apples, grapes, cheese, fresh milk and salad macaroni.
Don't you just love the juxtaposition of the fresh apples beside the glazed counter top with apples?
Jed (and his cousins who visit) can ask for a snack anytime, and I'll whip up a healthy go-grow-glow fruit salad for them in less than 10 minutes. I avoid the heavy cream and mix in fresh milk.
Jed no longer asks to buy those foil-wrapped junk foods. He has made the supreme sacrifice and given up his "Turkish delight"- bacon.
He reminds me when we buy groceries --- "only healthy food, mom!"
Note: Turkish Delight is used in reference to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis
