Breakfast:
It was another hectic morning in our house, so the girls had baggies of Honey Kix & I had a baggie of Multigrain Cheerios on the way to carpool. The girlies drank their milk & took their vitamins before we left, and I had coffee.
Lunch:
The girls had natural turkey sandwiches on 100% whole wheat bread with salad leftover from last night's dinner and apple slices. They had diluted 100% apple juice to drink. I had another Smart Ones for lunch.
Afternoon Snack:
The girls had frozen GoGurts for snack & I had a leftover chocolate chip cookie from our big girl's school fair last weekend.
Dinner:
Our church's choir had a fundraising dinner to support their upcoming Christmas Cantata, and the food was homemade and DELICIOUS! We had fried chicken, corn, green beans (with bacon!!), mashed potatoes, a giant salad with lots of fresh veggies, bread, dessert (I skipped tonight), and so much more! Yum! You could tell it was cooked with love! Our big girl was allergic to most of the food, so I brought some of last night's Chicken Tikka Masala over rice, and flatbread, for her to eat. She had a package of Annie's Strawberry Fruit Snacks for dessert.
What did your family eat today?
God bless!

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Breakfast:
The girls & I had peanut butter and local honey on 100% whole wheat toast. The girls had milk and I had coffee (very much needed today).
Lunch:
The girls had natural turkey sandwiches on 100% whole wheat bread with grape tomatoes and apple slices. They had diluted 100% apple juice to drink. I had another Smart Ones for lunch.
Afternoon Snack:
Honestly, I don't remember what we had for snack. I know that I had a massive caffeinated beverage to make it through the afternoon!
Dinner:
We were blessed to have a dear friend from church over for dinner, who was willing to be a guinea pig, along with the rest of our family, when we tried Sweet Peas and Pumpkin's Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala for the first time ever. I served it with brown basmati rice, Italian blend salad mix (romaine & red cabbage) with grape tomatoes, and flatbread. We had chocolate cookes & ice cream for dessert.
This recipe for tikka masala was very true to what I've tried in local Indian restaurants, but kid-friendly, in that it's not spicy (peppery hot), so the children's palates are introduced to new flavors without the assault of pain. :-) If you like Indian food without the kick, I highly recommend this recipe!

Preparing the table.
(Yes, the plastic covers are still on the chairs & I plan to leave them there until the girls are older, since the girls are so very good at spilling on ivory fabric!)
Dinner's ready!
Yummy!
We had a lovely time and the girls had joyful input into each step of the process! They LOVE having special guests for dinner, and they love being little hostesses! We look forward to more dinners with special guests!

Breakfast:
The girls had baggies of Honey Kix, and I had Multigrain Cheerios in a baggie on the way to work. The girls drank their milk & took their vitamins before we left & I had coffee at work!
Lunch:
Due to this mommy setting her alarm clock for PM instead of AM, the girls had a thrown-together lunch of leftover pizza from Saturday night's free Papa John's pizza (from earning Papa Points), frozen Simply GoGurts, and 100% juice Capri Suns. I had a SmartOnes from the freezer.
Afternoon Snack:
The girls' behavior was pretty good at Target during our weekly shopping trip, so they earned a bag of popcorn (the cashier is usually sweet enough to split it into two bags, one for each girl), and I had the caffeinated beverage that came with the popcorn "meal!" :-) I grabbed a blueberry all-fruit pull-apart this evening to make it until dinner time.
Dinner:
We'll be finishing off the Egg-Free Baked Fish Sticks with natural ketchup, edamame & salad.
