Day Two hundred and eighty-four

Breakfast: Oatmeal mango banana muffins (whole grain).  My daughter brought home this recipe from a "fruit of the month" activity in school.  My husband called these "the perfect muffins to go with my coffee," which is means a lot from him.

Dinner: A Husband-planned-meal: BBQed chicken, tater tots, steamed veggies, cherries, and cucumbers from the garden. I was just thrilled that I got a night of from cooking!

Day One hundred and eighty

Heath chocolate chip cookies (whole grain)

Ground chicken breast, with pureed butternut squash, seasoned to be used in tacos/burritos. After this was cooked, I split it into two packages and froze both for future dinners. This wasn't for tonight's dinner, but since I was already browning ground chicken, I figured I'd cook it all and save myself some steps next time.

Baked ziti, with ground chicken breast, pureed yellow squash, and low-fat ricotta and mozzarella. One was for that night's dinner, and I froze the other.

Dinner: Baked ziti, steamed broccoli, blueberries, and bananas.

Day Fifty-three

Preserving herbs: Basil (in olive oil). This is the last of my basil plant for the season... I'll miss fresh herbs!


Lunch: Pizza muffins (whole grain english muffins, tomato sauce with pureed butternut squash mixed in, and light mozzarella), salad, and prunes

Dinner: Chicken rice soup (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow). This recipe didn't work out for my crockpot, which tends to cook too hot. The brown rice dissolved into a blob and it came out more like mush than soup. Thankfully, my kids liked it anyway.
