| A man's dinner (aka, my husband made it): Rotisserie chicken, green beans, apple, and tater tots (gluten-free from Trader Joe's). |
Breakfast: Oatmeal with chunks of apple, and blue agave. Halfway through her bowl, my little one decided she didn't like apples, so I pureed her apple chunks in the food processor and mixed it back into her oatmeal. Voila.

Dinner: Rotisserie chicken, whole grain penne with sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce, salad, and grapes. 
Snow day project: Cotton ball snowmen and gingerbread men (Recipe: Kid Concoctions. We didn't eat these, but the dough did need to be cooked on the stove, so it's fair that they get to share the spotlight w/our other food of the day.

Baking: Braided mozzarella cheese bread. My girls helped make the dough and knead this, and we had a blast doing so. (Recipe: Frugal girl, although she uses cheddar. Mozzarella went better with our dinner).
Breakfast: Blueberry maple oatmeal 
Dinner: Vegetable minestrone soup. Recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow. I loved how this looked in the crockpot before it was cooked.
Dinner: Vegetable minestrone soup with parmesan cheese and whole-grain noodles
Dinner sides: cheese bread, and frozen strawberries
Dessert (I'm putting this first, b/c it's my favorite): Creme brule (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow). This was SO easy and SO delicious. This woman who wrote this crockpot cookbook is a genius!!
Breakfast: Oatmeal with diced apples and cinnamon.

Dinner: London broil stew. I supplied the recipe to my husband, but don't eat meat, so my dinner was leftover chicken stroganoff from the other night.
