Breakfast:
We had Cheerios and raisins with milk.

Morning Snack:
My oldest had Teddy Grahams and/or whole grain Goldfish at school.  My youngest and I were in the throes of errand-running and grocery shopping, so we settled for an early lunch date with Daddy.

Lunch:
The hubby, my youngest and I ate at California Pizza Kitchen for an event that gives proceeds to Komen for the Cure.  The hubby and I split a shrimp scampi pizza and a piece of their red velvet cake.  My youngest had their mac and cheese with edamame.
My oldest had honey wheat pretzel sticks with peanut butter and raisins - it was definitely time for Mommy to do her weekly grocery shopping!  :-)

Afternoon Snack:
We had the pleasure of having a friend's sweet daughter with us, so we had a treat at a local allergy-free (hooray!!) bakery.  Each kiddo had a football-shaped cookie with the theme of our local college team, an oatmeal raisin cookie (because they were still hungry), part of my double chocolate chip muffin (Super yum!  You must try it if you ever visit there!), and split a blackberry Izze.  Yes, I then took them to a park to allow them to burn all of that sugar!  :-)

Dinner:
We had California Pizza Kitchen again (For the Cure!), with our sweet little friend, and her Mommy, who was able to join us.  The kiddos all had some sort of kiddo pizza.  My hubby had a caesar salad with chicken (and "with extra dressing on the side" - always!) and I had a half Cobb salad with beets added (you have to request them there because some people are finiky about beets).  My oldest ate her entire pizza, so she was able to have the 99 cent kiddo fruit cup.  Fun, affordable, and healthy dessert!  Score!

Breakfast:
We had Cheerios with raisins and milk.

Morning Snack:
My youngest and I had Cheez-Its and Oreos at school, and my oldest had her usual of Teddy Grahams and/or whole grain Goldfish.

Afternoon Snack:
Didn't happen.  :-)

Dinner:
We had tacos (soft and crunchy) with refried beans, sauteed onions and red & green peppers, and "sushi sopapillas."

Here's my recipe for Sushi Sopapillas:
Ingredients:
Tortilla
Butter (I like to use Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Canola Oil)
Honey
Cinnamon

Spread butter on one side of a tortilla.  Drizzle buttered tortilla with honey and then sprinkle with cinnamon.  Roll the tortilla up and microwave for ~35 seconds, until warm.  Slice into rounds.  Viola!  Sushi Sopapillas!

My youngest and I went to a Japanese/sushi buffet because I could finally eat!  :-)

Breakfast:
We had Cheerios and raisins with milk.

Morning Snack:
I had a chewy chocolate granola bar.  My oldest had Teddy Grahams and/or whole grain Goldfish at school and my youngest had whatever they gave her in the nursery while I was in a Bible study class!  :-)

Lunch:
I had a teachers' meeting today, so the girls had Red Baron pepperoni pizzas and fruit salad, while I had a BLT on whole grain bread with Harvest Chedder Sun Chips, mini dill pickles, cream cheese brownies, and a Skinny Cow (such an offensive name!!!) chocolate ice cream sandwich.  Yum!  :-)  I can tell I'm going to enjoy meeting days!  :-)

Dinner:
It was DATE NIGHT!  The hubby and I each had a salad (caesar for him & garden w/ raspberry walnut vineagrette dressing for me), split a pizza (supreme for his half and spinach & artichoke on my half), and shared a massive white chocolate macadamia nut cookie w/ vanilla ice cream on top!  Yummy!
The girls had chicken nuggets, carrots, and sugar free strawberry applesauce.

Edited to add:  The grocery store was out of our normal chicken nuggets, so I bought new ones.  I missed the egg white on the list of ingredients of the nuggets I did purchase, which made my older daughter sick.  For those of you w/ food allergy kiddos, please, never let down your guard, and check those labels at least 3 times before you serve!  Scary!
