 |
| A quick lunch: Hard-boiled eggs, whole wheat bread, fresh mozzarella, spinach, baby carrots, and strawberries. |
 |
| Dinner: Cheddar BLTs (with turkey bacon, on whole wheat). I am proud to say that this was my first BLT... so tasty! Thanks to Jill for the idea! |
 |
| Bagels with strawberry cream cheese. I made the cream cheese, not the bagels. ;) |
 |
| Dinner: Spinach eggplant rollatini. I'd made doubles of this a while back and froze one, and tonight was the perfect night to use it. I can never argue with a home-cooked meal that I cooked, but didn't cook today. Te he. Before putting it into the oven, I spruced it up with fresh marinara sauce, and some basil from the garden. |
 |
| Dinner: Tortellini salad (fresh mozzarella, zucchini, our own garden tomatoes and basil, and a splash of olive oil). |
 |
| Whole grain zucchini bread pancakes (recipe: http://aprettylifeinthesuburbs.blogspot.com/) |
 |
| Breakfast: Whole grain "zucchini bread pancakes" with cantaloupe |
 |
| Dinner: Big salad (spinach, romaine, diced apples, cucumber, cherry tomatoes- from the garden!, zucchini, cucumber- from the garden!- steamed carrots and broccoli, canteloupe, and hard-boiled eggs. Whew. Some challah and light ranch on the side, and a cool dinner on a hot summer's eve was done. |
 |
| Whole wheat zucchini pineapple bread (recipe from my new friend Melissa ;) |
 |
| Breakfast: Whole wheat zucchini pineapple bread and strawberries |
 |
| Picnic dinner by the pool: Turkey and cheese sandwiches on rolls, carrot sticks, and cut-up apple |
 |
| (Part of) lunch: Veggie and fruit platter |
 |
| Dinner: Turkey cheeseburgers on whole grain buns, mashed potatoes, peas, and watermelon. |
 |
| Vanilla yogurt... six jars for the fridge |
 |
| 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. ;) |
 |
| "Power sticks" (peanut butter cereal bars; recipe: Weight Watchers.) My girls can't get enough of these, so I make them in a triple batch, and freeze. The perfect portable snack. |
 |
| Breakfast: Scrambled cheese eggs, sliced peaches, and half a cheese danish (from my Dad). We've been eating breakfast outside on the deck, hence the shadows. |
 |
| Breakfast: Cinnamon swirl pancakes (whole grain; recipe: Weight Watchers) |
 |
| Dinner: Chicken in a peach mango salsa (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow) over rice with cauliflower puree, watermelon, and steamed veggies |
 |
| Dinner: Chicken marsala (McCormick recipe, adapted for the crockpot) over egg noodles, steamed zucchini and broccoli over romaine lettuce, and watermelon. A perfect dinner to come home to after an afternoon at the pool! |
 |
| Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese on a whole-wheat english muffin. |
 |
| Watermelon. Technically I did not "cook" this, but as it's taking up plenty of real estate in my fridge, and took quite a while to cut up, it's game. |
 |
| 4th of July dessert: Strawberry blueberry galette (recipe: Cooking Light) |
 |
| Chicken pasta salad (corn, spinach, chicken, whole grain shells) for our hike this afternoon. |
