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.  ;)

Day Two hundred and twenty-four

Dinner: Whole grain baked ziti with ground chicken, steamed spinach, pineapple, and french bread (leftover from yesterday). This was one of those meals where I actually kissed myself (no matter how strange that sounds). Quite a while back, I'd made an extra baked ziti and froze it for a rainy day. This meal was actually on a rainy day (ha) and I was sick with something flu-like, so a homemade meal without anything other than popping it into the oven was SO welcomed. Kudos to my husband for heating it, putting dinner on a plate, and taking the photo!!

Day Ninety-six

Mashed potatoes. These were my husband's doing.

Dinner: Lasagna (my grandma made this for Christmas, and sent it to us since we were sick) and steamed spinach.

Other dinner: Steak, steamed spinach, onion petals, and mashed potatoes. Who other than my husband would BBQ in the middle of a blizzard?!?
