lunch today was good.
the confession part:
i throw away so much produce.
today was a red pepper and a whole cucumber.
i live with people who would have eaten that if i would have washed and served it.
another confession:
i have food to cook and sometimes i don't.
like this past wednesday night i served cheese dip with chips and apples.
i could have given my boys something much more nutritious.
the worst confession of all:
this past sunday i made homemade soup for after mass.
it was on the stove in a pot. all i had to do is heat it up and serve it.
we went out to eat after mass and ate food that cost way too much and wasn't nearly as healthy.
i have lots of excuses.
one of my excuses is called the two year old.
this one to be exact:
 |
| just washing his hands while i make lunch... we all know that a 2 year old doesn't just wash his hands. |
the real excuse is that i am lazy.
i have boys (and a husband) that will eat whatever i serve them.
 |
| he eats raw broccoli and has learned how to cheese real good! |
so, as part of my resolution that we are going to eat more paleo-ish,
i will be back to report on myself.
my lunch today:
 |
| notice that my helper is in every picture... |
it has a very fancy name:
the poppy seed dressing salad!
throw some lettuce in a bowl.
add some chicken - whatever is leftover in your fridge.
you will need some nuts - i like pecans, sliced almonds or walnuts.
feta cheese (a must!)
and some fruit - craisins, canned mandarin oranges, fresh blueberries, fresh strawberries or maybe some apples
and then top with the dressing - Brianna's Home Style Poppy Seed
don't you just hate to pick out dressings?
you can relax because this one is courtney approved!
today i had pecans that my nanny shelled, feta cheese and craisins with apples on the side.
no chicken today because it is friday. it is way better with chicken.
i never know if we catholics are supposed to eat meat on fridays or not, so i try to avoid it.
i'll be back to report on myself.
