dinner most fowl

I made a whole chicken in the crockpot with baby potatoes and carrots. I put it together during naptime and set it to high, and we ate about four hours later.

There is something about a whole chicken. I like to roast chickens and hoard the bones (only in my freezer, not Girl, Interrupted style) to make broth for soup for the next big holiday or big whole-house illness.

My kid has been carbo-loading, too. I think it is because she is a toddler and because I don't have energy. One thing I've found that is GREAT is fruit leather. I keep about 20 in the car, so we don't need to share anymore.

I've also bought a bunch of berries and bananas lately. I learned you need both to balance the kid out. My daughter will seriously eat a pint of blueberries in one sitting if I let her, and spend the next day with purple poo all day.
