Day Two hundred and ninety-three

Summer pasta salad (which we brought on a picnic; based loosely on Karmel's recipe): Whole wheat pasta, shredded carrot, baby spinach, corn, and chunks of grilled chicken.

Day Two hundred and ninety-two

Something I love to do in the summer- a cold lunch.  Hard-boiled eggs, fresh peaches, baby spinach, and whole grain crackers.

Pot-luck dinner.  My friend came over for dinner with her two kids, who eat only "kid" foods.  She brought chicken nuggets/fingers, garlic bread, fresh mozzarella with tomatoes, and I made whole wheat pasta and vegetables.  Then the kids had grapes.

Day Two hundred and sixty-five

Smoothie: Before

Breakfast: Spinach mango strawberry smoothies (recipe: Cooking Light).  Referred to as "Martian smoothies" to skeptical children.

Dinner: Grilled ranch chicken (thank you, hubby), whole wheat pasta with steamed spinach, and watermelon.

We haven't eaten this, yet, but it's growing in the garden. What kind of a cucumber is this?!?

S'mores... giant grilled marshmallows obliterated the melted chocolate, but my girls were tickled to be covered in sticky white fluff, so all was not lost.  ;)
