Who got chops? I got chops! Well, actually, I have chop, which is even better! Thanks to my wonderful parents' coming over to my house to help with the slicing and dicing, I finished my first batch of chop! It only took us about three hours to make the huge vat with over twenty different veggies, four grains, beans, and rice.

Thankfully I figured out how to make my cheap food processor do what I wanted, and even better than that, Sammy LOVED IT! He's not real big on trying new foods, so I let him watch as I crumbled up a Nutriberri and mixed it into the cup to lure him into trying a few bites... and then he was unstoppable! I filled half the cup and he ate all but this!!!

Now I can sleep well knowing my boy is getting all the nutrition he needs!

Your chop looks awesome! The best part is it passed the Sammy test:)
How sweet of your parents to come and help...it is so much easier and more fun with company!

I had a full size upright freezer. Then a friend of mine sold me her chest freezer cheap. My mom wax like we don't need that and there's no room. I made room lol. A month later the big freezer went out.

Hmmmm maybe I should try the birdie bread again. After 3 weeks of Ace refusing to eat it I gave up then forgot about it till now
