"I think everything changes when you have a baby--everything in my life did. New home, new car, new job, bye-bye social life, hello Elmo and working all hours of the night (not complaining, being honest and realistic--ask any mom!). So what else changed? The food I eat. Yep, yep!\nYesterday I burst out laughing as I checked e-mails and ate a PB&amp;amp;J on 12-grain bread with a side of...baked sour cream and onion Lays--and a glass of 2 percent milk (JD enjoyed the same). Fine, it&amp;#39;s not like it was that unhealthy, but pre-child I wouldn&amp;#39;t be caught dead eating that for lunch--ew. (I was also too lazy to make myself a lovely veggie burger with sprouts.) I used to eat elaborate salads topped with grilled tuna and string beans. Turkey and Brie sandwiches. Spicy tuna rolls and warm, salty edamame.\nDinner? You want to talk about dinner? I make a lot of pasta these days: cavatelli and broccoli, ziti, marinara and peas, homemade mac-and-cheese, ravioli tossed with spinach and olive oil. I used to eat grilled chicken and steamed veggies. Steak and steamed veggies. Salmon and steamed veggies (I used to eat out with friends or men). And trust me, there is no shortage of fresh veggies and fruit in this home--JD loves &amp;#39;em, but still, I plan my meals around him. He doesn&amp;#39;t like steak. He&amp;#39;ll eat salmon sometimes. Grilled and baked chicken is iffy, unless I disguise it in applesauce or between veggies. Since it&amp;#39;s just him and me, it&amp;#39;s almost easier to cook what he&amp;#39;ll eat. I&amp;#39;ll eat anything. Sometimes I get fancy and grill chicken in lime and cilantro for me, but sometimes I can&amp;#39;t be bothered--holla at a bowl of Special K, ya know!? JD loves salad, so no complaints there! I pack ours with lots of carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and beans (for protein). Here is my fave salad recipe.\nI loved the Disney cruise because I enjoyed fish and meat while JD indulged in the kiddie menu/I didn&amp;#39;t have to cook and cute waiters just kept refilling my wine glass and telling me to have a magical dining experience. There was also the Mickey-shaped ice cream pops.\nPinterestFacebook__I&amp;#39;m curious. Has your diet changed since having a kid? Isn&amp;#39;t it easier just to make two PB&amp;amp;Js or indulge in a bowl of mac-n-cheese too? Do you ever make dinner for yourself or the adults in your house and dinner for your tot? What is your tot&amp;#39;s favorite food? (JD is currently obsessed with I loves = black olives.) __\nGuilty confession: Sometimes I make him mac-n-cheese FROM A BOX. And order fresh, expensive sushi for myself. Sometimes I pair it with cold beer. Scandal.\n***Here are some yummy meal ideas I&amp;#39;ve tried that JD loves (me too!):\nGwyneth Paltrow&amp;#39;s easy &amp;quot;angry pasta.&amp;quot;\nVeggie pita pockets (fun for tots to eat--chomp, chomp!).\nBreakfast (or as JD says: &amp;quot;Eggies&amp;quot;) for dinner--try it!\n\nDining with a tot in NYC?
