Day One hundred and seventy-nine

Lunch: Pizza (fresh water mozzarella, spinach, and marinara on a whole wheat sandwich thin), baby carrots, cut-up apples and grapes.

Dinner: Orient express (chicken and veggie stir-fry; recipe: Annabel Karmel), and fresh strawberries.

Day Ninety-four

Sick-day lunch: Annie's mac and cheese (with pureed butternut squash), peas, a clementine, and chocolate milk. If you've followed this blog at all, you've learned that mac and cheese is our sick-day lunch. Especially by adding a veggie puree, it allows me to make something "homemade" (well, kind of) for my girls, while not making too much of a mess, or spending too much time cooking instead of taking care of them.

Dinner: Baked chicken with alfredo sauce, rice, and steamed broccoli. My husband gets total credit for this meal. I was upstairs sick, and he made dinner. I requested rice b/c I thought it'd be good for sick tummies, but I never got around to eating any of it.
