Day Three hundred and eighty-four

Latkes! Oh yeah!  I have a recipe- it's awesome- I'll put it here very soon, I promise.

Hanukkah dinner (I think).  Latkes with apple sauce and sour cream, roast chicken, and carrots.

Pumpkins! Lots of them.  From my aunt and uncle's farm in Iowa.  I pureed these after roasting, made some into bread, and froze the rest.

Roasted butternut squash!  Also from Iowa.  Some made into soup; the extras pureed and frozen.

Pumpkin seeds... from the pumpkins... self-explanatory.

Pumpkin bread... from the pumpkins.  Noticing a theme?

School lunch: Yogurt, apples, trail mix, almonds, and a cookie.

Day Two hundred and one

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, apple crumb (from Dysons in Kingston), and cantaloupe.

Lunch: Pizza on whole grain sandwich thins, with spinach and fresh mozzarella.

Dinner: Chicken matzo ball soup.


Dinner: Potato latkes with sour cream and applesauce.

Day Seventy-seven

Dinner: Chicken Quesadillas (whole grain tortillas, grilled chicken, black beans, shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of the remaining sweet potatoes leftover from Thanksgiving), broccoli, and sour cream. According to my mom, who was there for dinner that night, you couldn't even taste the sweet potatoes.

Latkes. My daughter's teacher asked me to bring these into the classroom, so we whipped up a few batches to share with her friends.
