We stayed up WAAAAY to late last night and this was all I could muster. Starting a movie at midnight is a HORRIBLE IDEA when your child wakes up at 6am no matter what.
We've been getting our eggs from Campo Lindo Farm and while they are a little more expensive then the store brand white eggs, they are worth it! I love knowing that the hens are able to roam, and that we are supporting a local family farm. Plus in every dozen there is a little note from the farm!
This seems to be our typical, unhealthy Saturday lunch.
These crackers are really good! Light, just a hint of salt and a little nutty. YUM!
These pancakes were okay, not fantastic, but a great way to get some added protein. We topped them with unsweetened applesauce. I made a big batch and froze the rest for later.Lunch: Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage with Egg Noodles and a Plum
I thought this sausage was great! Sadly, the plum was kind of mealy.
Well we were without water yesterday so we just cooked a frozen pizza and ate on paper plates.
Per Request: Spinach Salad with Carrots and Raisins
Soak Raisins in a Cup of hot water, while they are soaking grate 2 Carrots with a Box Grater. Drain water from raisins and pat dry. Top Baby Spinach with shredded Carrots and Raisins. It couldn't be easier!
Last week Greyson couldn't get enough Watermelon, today he wouldn't touch it. He is such a toddler! He did LOVE Grapes today. He ate his share and mine!
These are always a huge hit over here. I know the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk doesn't make these the healthiest granola bars out there - but they are quick, easy and everyone loves them. Greyson stuffed his cheeks full and then signed for more!Dinner: Deconstructed Turkey Pot Pie (Mashed Potatoes, Turkey and County Gravy) with Asparagus and Watermelon
This was a dinner that didn't come together as planned. I cooked the Turkey in the crock pot on Friday, but it was such a weird day that we ended up going out to eat. So then I planned to do Turkey and Sweet Potatoes for dinner only to find I had just 1 sweet potato - not enough for 3 people. So regular potatoes it was. Then I made gravy, which is very unlike me, but the turkey and potatoes needed something to bring them together. It turns out that mixing the turkey, potatoes and gravy together was delish! I just wish I had added some corn. Oh well, we had asparagus to round things out. Greyson only ate one piece of asparagus, but it is a start.
We ended up going out to eat, so the Turkey has been packed in the fridge for another day.
This was a hit with Greyson! He wasn't sure at first and did a few fake bites (taking the spoon to the edge of his mouth, but not putting it in) before taking a bite - then there was no stopping him! He ate his whole bowl full and asked for more.
Hooray for oatmeal day!
Well, I sent Michael to work with both leftover sausages. So I'm eating a weird, but strangely good lunch. A "sandwich" made from ham and leftover cauliflower gratin sandwiched between 2 whole-wheat crepes! It was surprisingly yummy!
Yummy snack. Vanilla yogurt with a spoon of blueberry jam, some almonds and some graham crackers!
The Crepes were only okay. I still haven't mastered the art of a really thin crepe. Also, as much and I want to like Ricotta in things for the boost of protein and calcium, I'm still really "meh" about it. Greyson ate 1/2 of his and them tossed his plate on the floor. Great.
So this lunch didn't happen. Well it did, I just left it at home. So I bought a salad at work. Boo. Since I didn't eat it for lunch it became my 3:00 snack (minus the watermelon and chips) since my work salad wasn't that good.
Nope. See above.
No real surprise that I was the only one who liked the cauliflower. I thought it was great. G put a bite in his mouth for all of a second before spitting it back out. Michael took 2 begrudging bites.
Dinner was great! The chicken was really moist and Greyson ate everything on his plate except for the lettuce (I just gave him 1 piece to try) and the tomatoes. He put the tomato in his mouth, but quickly took it back out.
