Easy Pico De Gallo

Pico de Gallo is one of my favorite snacks and toppings EVER! You can put it on everything! It goes well on eggs for breakfast, tacos, fajitas, salads, or just as as an appetizer as chips. It’s just a few simple ingredients that bring so much flavor and nutrition!

We eat pico once every 2 weeks. It really is a staple in our house. My kids love it too! My daughter is the first to help chop the veggies. My son will only hit the button on the food processor, but I will take what I can get right now. I think we have stepped into the preteen era. Let me tell you, it’s not fun. I may need to eat a lot more pico to keep me happy. My sweet baby boy who adored his momma now has a little attitude, thinks he knows it all, and also thinks I am the most embarrassing person in the world. It’s heartbreaking! I may just have to dance through the house with my bowl of pico to further the embarrassment! What’s a mom to do but to fully embrace it?

I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One of the first assignments I give is to have students reflect on the “food rules” they grew up with and if they still use them today. 🍦 It helps them see how food has impacted them throughout their life. 🍦 It helps them reflect on the helpfulness or danger of those rules for themselves and their families. 🍦It creates awareness so they don’t put those messages onto other people’s children whom they may work with in the future. 🍦 Children do NOT need food rules! They are naturally intuitive eaters that can self regulate. Your job is to supply what and when they eat. They determine how much! 👉 So did you have food rules growing up? What were they? How do they impact you today?
