| Lunch: Cream of broccoli soup (an extra jar from the freezer) with steamed veggies mixed in. |
 |
| Dinner: Chicken tetrazzini (crockpot) over whole grain spaghetti, sugar snap peas, cantaloupe, and grapes. I made a double batch of the tetrazzini in the crockpot, and froze it for a future dinner. That makes me happier than the initial meal itself! |
 |
| Dinner: Whole grain spaghetti with mozzarella (my daughter's request), grilled chicken, salad, and watermelon. |
Dinner: Using a recipe from Allrecipes.com called, "Fettuccine with sweet pepper cream sauce," I modified this to meet the tastes of my family. I followed the recipe fairly closely, but added chicken, fresh green beans, and omitted the cayenne pepper. I served it over whole grain spaghetti, alongside strawberries, and it was awesome. Kudos to my friend Julie for sharing this recipe with me!
Dinner: Chicken parmesan (made by my awesome friend Jill, who sent this over since my husband is home with a back-injury), whole grain spaghetti with broccoli rabe, and fresh strawberries.
Breakfast: Cream of wheat with strawberries and maple syrup.
Breakfast: Scrambled egg white with cheese.
Dinner: Mandarin apricot pork (crockpot; Recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow) over whole grain spaghetti; steamed broccoli, and oranges. This looked and smelled so good but since I don't eat pork, I had to trust my family to enjoy it on my behalf. ;)
My daughter's plate, once the pork had been sliced and made kid-friendly.
Mashed potatoes. This was for my daughter's school Thanksgiving feast. The recipe made such a large bowl that I kept some extra at home for dinner. (Score!)
Dinner: Leftover mish-mosh. Spaghetti from the other night, mashed potatoes from earlier, turkey hot dogs, and steamed broccoli.
Blueberry sorbet (recipe: Sneaky Chef). This really counts as fruit, as it is blueberries, cranberry pomegranate juice, and a splash of honey, pureed in the food processor. I love that my kids call it "dessert," though.
Birthday breakfast: My daughter requested scrambled cheese eggs, which we had with whole grain english muffins, and mangoes.
Birthday dinner: Another request- whole grain spaghetti, turkey meatballs, and sugar snap peas.
