Surely pesto counts as a vegetable

Still sick. Eghhhh.

I'm using the TV as a babysitter and cooking pasta with red pesto and a tin of sweetcorn as "vegetables." I'm a bad, bad mother. For protein, I'm sprinkling some cheese on top. When Babes finally gets home he will be instructed to peel fruit and hand out yoghurts. While I go to bed with a book. Which I will read for at least two minutes.

Oh, and phlegm has too many letters. Flem would do the job just as well.

  1. I'd be delighted if my kids would eat pasta with tinned sweetcorn and pesto.....it DEFINITELY counts as a vegetable.

    If it was spelt Flem, wouldn't it be derogatory to the Flemish?!

  3. If it were green pesto then that would be even more healthy ! Enjoy your 2 mins reading.

  5. yuck! Being sick when you are pregnant sucks so bad- I am almost in tears remembering it! I hope you feel better. Oh and to help-yesterday the only thing my 2 year old would eat for dinner was a popcorn ball- so I let her. Let's all sign the bad mom pledge!

  9. Pesto was my lazy mother mainstay until the children went off it because I fed it to them too much. They didn't even have sweetcorn or cheese with it because they don't like either of those things. Hope you feel better soon x

  11. Oh I've never tried red pesto but I say it definitely counts as a veggie. I use pesto all the time to subdue the minions. And hey..they're fed. That's what counts.
