Lunch: PB Pinwheels - Trips, Leftover BBQ Chicken Salad - mom
Dinner: Rotini Pepper Steak
For Eva's lunch and snack, I packed: A cheese sandwhich and goldfish, pb and crackers, pretzels with cheese, nila wafers, sugar snap peas and green peppers, strawberry go-gurt and bananas.
I made the muffins the night before, which saves me time in the morning so I can get Eva to the playground on time. After I dropped off Eva, I took the triplets to the library for a talk on frogs (and they even got to touch them!!) We came home and I made the BBQ Chix Salad for me and the PB Pinwheels for the trips. I also gave them some lightly steamed sugar snap peas, a strawberry, and some goldfish.
Joey and Eddie have baseball tonight, so I made dinner ahead of time, stuck it in the oven on "Keep Warm" at 3pm, picked up Eva from the playground, played in the backyard until 5pm, when we sat down to eat dinner. It was VERY good and EVERYBODY ate it!! Whoo, hooo!!! Dad was working late tonight, so I put tinfoil back on the bowl and stuck it back in the oven. Dad came home at 7:30pm and ate dinner right away and he said it was really good. There was just enough left over for Dad's lunch tomorrow. This recipe was a keeper!!
