A little bit about me…

Hello everyone, this is actually my first post on my blog. My Name is Vela and I am a 29 year old Mommy of two wonderful boys. One is 8 Years Old and my little rascal is almost 2 Years old (how time flies). My Fiance is 27 Years old and we live in the rainy Ireland…for the time being. Originally I come from Germany but I also have the American Citizenship through my Father. I grew up in a household of Foodies, so my Mother always cooked amazing recipes everyday and we always were open to try new foods. Yet my little Family sadly isn’t like this at all. My oldest Son has Autism so he has issues with Smells, Looks and the Textures of the food. My fiance came from a family that literally only lived on one kind of food, which was Fried Chicken and Chips (French Fries). He was never told to eat his vegetables or any of this. And from experience I have noticed that the Irish aren’t the Type of People to try new things. (Not everyone but I have noticed this from the Majority. I hope I haven’t offended anyone)

When my second son was born, I had high hopes for him with. My thoughts were : “Here comes finally the one that will love food just as much as me. Whoohoo!” And yes, at the beginning it looked like it! He ate pretty much everything I gave him! I was soaring in my dreams of all these recipes I could try but alas the other two men happened in my house.  For some reason it doesn’t matter what mommy eats. If the rest of the people aren’t eating the good veggies then why should he. So he started refusing things I gave him because his bigger brother wouldn’t eat it. And now at the end I am stuck with 3 picky eaters as a Foodie. I desperately look everyday for recipes that might be doable for everyone but it is quite frustrating.

I have just quit my job in customer Service as I couldn’t deal with the pressure of office life and I hated being away from my children everyday. And for a good while I was trying to figure out how to make money and still stay at home. And then I thought of Blogging. So with further ado, I decided to start my own blog with recipes and Ideas on how to function with Picky Eaters in the house. We Mommys (or Daddys) have to stick together and work our magic!
