I encourage my husband to keep junk food out of the house, so I won't be tempted by it. Ask your hub to kindly enjoy his treats when he's out and about, not in front of you, and hopefully he will understand! Sesha, I'm sorry to hear about your accident, it sounds like you have a challenging situation. However, I think you're going about this exactly the right way, and you're facing the same challenge that every parent is up against. I firmly believe that if you feed your kids healthy food, and show them a good example with your own eating habits, they will grow up eating healthy. Every kid and teen loves junk food, there's no getting around it, but the important thing is to give them a healthy foundation that they will return to as adults. Your homemade jelly sounds amazing!

I am also a paraplegic so cooking all meals is not an option for me. I try to cook large so there are leftovers. But it only goes so far with a big fam. I try to buy fruit for them to grab they grab chips! I really have noticed how much cheaper the junk food is as well since my accident they have to fend for themselves more and cheaper is better but not healthier. I even can my own jelly so now it's PB and J vs frozen micro burritos! Aaaahhh! If u find an answer. Plz let me know. Yes I have his huge dilemma as well and I have five children!

I will never watch Seinfeld the same again. As for your husband, he had it right on. What are you going to do with raw kale and butternut squash when the power is out? Emergency provisions are a) ready to eat b) easy to store and c) easy to open. No one is expecting you to eat like that long term! Fig Newmans? I will never watch Seinfeld the same again.

How do you deal with this? It is so challenging!!!
