Since Julia's appetite is still taking a leave of absence, we give her a lot of leeway when it comes to what she wants for meals or snacks (she had a ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast this morning). She's always been a healthy, non-picky eater, so we know she wouldn't just ask for junk food.
For lunch a few days ago, she didn't show any interest in the couple of leftovers we were having so we asked her what she wanted. She wanted an English muffin. Sorry, we told her, we don't have any. Then she said she wanted garbanzo beans. Again we told her that we didn't have any and she would need to choose something from the leftovers that we had out. She got mad and stormed off to her room. A few minutes later she came back up and started rummaging through the cupboards. It wasn't long before she was standing, hand on her hip, giving us a dirty look, holding up a can. Garbanzo beans.
So she ended up eating a bowlful of room temperature garbanzo beans. She seemed quite satisfied with herself.

that's my girl! It's amazing that she has always liked very healthy foods. Now Finn on the other hand likes some healthy food, but he likes his candy and sweets. Takes after Grandpa Dayton about liking the sweets! Love to all, Grandma Colleen
That settles it - I'm bringing some hummus for Christmas - yum!
Love, Aunt Sandy
Garbanzo beans for lunch sounds mighty fine to me (so does the ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast). Julia knows exactly what she wants...and apparently she knows just where to find it! Cute story, love the pic :).
Oops, ^^^ that message was from me.
Jayne :D
Hi Julia, I remember seeing that can of garbanzo beans in the cupboard. You must be growing taller, it was on the top shelf. Does Finn like them? Love you, Grandma Beth
As the physician in the family, garbanzo beans are better than jelly beans. did you put anything on the garbanzos Julia?

Julia's response to eating anything with the garbanzos is "no!".
