Day Three hundred and seventy-eight

Dinner: Chicken fingers.  My husband made these- they were a combination of gluten-free breadcrumbs and honey, a concoction of his own creation.  I made a spinach-artichoke dip (recipe to be posted, I promise) with baked tortilla chops and applesauce. Kind of a weird-ish meal, but that's how it came together. 

Lunch for tomorrow: Rolled deli turkey, crackers with a babybel cheese, a cutie orange, red pepper, and cucumber slices.

My older daughter's gingerbread house. She made it at school, but was so proud of it that it got included here.  I found gluten-free graham crackers, which was not an easy task.  I'll probably try making them next time.

Day Eighty-eight

Dinner: Turkey meatloaf (with pureed yellow squash and green puree), steamed carrots and green beans.

Dinner: Butternut squash soup (made from a batch I made a few weeks back, and had frozen).

Mini gingerbread house: My daughter made this in school so technically it wasn't made in my kitchen, but she was proud to have made it, so here it is.

Day Seventy-nine

Maple spice muffins (Recipe: Doubly Delicious). These were really yummy.

Gingerbread house. We do one every year, and the girls love doing it, but they always try to eat it immediately afterwards.

Honey whole wheat bread- this one came right out of the bread machine. This is our favorite bread.


Dinner: Homemade chicken nuggets, which I made in the crockpot (recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow), whole grain mac & cheese with cauliflower and yellow squash puree (recipe: Sneaky Chef), green beans, and clementines.

My husband was craving steak, so he BBQ'ed this for himself. I take no credit or responsibility for it.

Chicken soup with egg noodles- my daughter wanted this for lunch for tomorrow, so I let it simmer on the stove during the day and poured it into a thermos for the next day.
