 Eva's snack today was: Strawberries, carrots, apple slices, go gurt, string cheese and goldfish.

For Breakfast, I spoiled the triplets and made them tater tots with scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage.
For Dinner, the kids decided to eat most of a box of cookies - not my choice, by the way! My fault for leaving them out, their fault for not being able to restrain themselves at just 2 cookies!! So I didn't make them anything for dinner. When they went to bed, I made steaks  and reheated some spaghetti for Gerald and mashed potatoes for me. Very yummy!!
                                                                                                                                 
I used the Chicago Steak Seasoning from Penzy's and it was delish!! Especially with the hickory in there, it almost tasted like I cooked them on the weber instead of in my George Foreman Grill!

Monday, May 10th

It's Monday again. Wow! The weekend went fast! Hope everyone had a good Mother's Day.
Today for Eva's snack I packed: apples (with a little Fruit Fresh to prevent them from browning), finger jello, pretzels, string cheese, strawberry go-gurt (finally free of high fructose!) and carrots.
For Gerald, I packed for breakfast: regular frosted flakes, milk, sliced bananas.  For his lunch, he had one more frozen leftover to use.

Breakfast:  Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Lunch:  Leftovers
Dinner: Trinadad Chicken

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal for 4


3 1/2 cups water
2 cups  Quick Oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vietnamese cinnamon
3 tblspn brown sugar
1 snack cup applesauce

Pour water into pot and bring to a boil.
Add the rest of the ingrediants. Let cook at a boil for 3 mins or until the consistancy you like your oatmeal.
(Note to self: add 2 more servings as Eddie ate mine!! lol)

The next time I make oatmeal, I am going to try the pb & j topping. For more topping ideas, vist Quaker Oats.

Trinidad Chicken
Sorry, forgot to take a picture, but boy was it good!! I sprinkled my latest seasoning blend from Penzy's Spice, Trinidad Style Lemon-Garlic Marinade.  I sprayed a cookie sheet with Pam, then sprinkled (liberally) the spice blend all over some chicken breasts (with bone and skin on). Then I drizzled some EVOO over the breasts. While I was doing this, I had turned my oven on Broil - Hi. My oven rack was in the middle of my oven when I put the chicken in. I broiled them for 15 mins ribs up, then I flipped them over, reseasoned, redrizzled, and cook them another 12 min's (they were kind of thick and took awhile to get up to 180 degrees).  I served it with bow tie pasta and carrots.
ahhhh Thursday. No after school activities for the kids and it's suppose to be beautiful. Guess that means we'll be going to the park! So what's on the menu today??
     Breakfast: Chedder and chive frittata with strawberries and cinnamon swirl (whole grain) toast or brown sugar cinnamon whole grain mini bagels with cream cheese.
     Lunch:  Trips will be at school and I have a lunch date at Tazinos! Can't wait!!
     Dinner:  Ravioli, slow cooked italian sausages and breadsticks
And I solved the problem of my little people whining about the spaghetti. I made an alfredo sauce and a spaghetti sauce and let them choose which one they wanted.

And the alfredo sauce was easy to make. After I found this recipe, I make it more often (and I use light cream cheese and 1% milk so it's not so fattening)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream
cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan
cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

What I packed for Eva for her snack:
an Easter brownie, strawberries, string cheese, blocks of colby cheese, yogurt, grapes, carrot sticks,and goldfish.


What I packed for Gerald's breakfast in his new Fit & Fresh Breakfast Container:  Raisin Bran, milk, Schwan's Golden Fruit Blend.
















What I packed for his lunch:  the leftover Carribean Chicken on Coconut rice (yummo!!) I had a separate box with grapes, carrots, and some cheese.
    
So that was what I cooked/made up today. We had a good time at the park, then came home and played some more in the yard. Really wish this warm weather lasts!!

aaaahhhhhh, no cooking today! Eva's school is having their Fall Festival, so I'm just doing frozen pizza's.  That way we can get to the school by 6:30 and I don't have dirty dishes in the sink.

Breakfast:  Pb on toasted bagel by request. But Eddie said he was still "hun gee". So I heated up some Pigs in a Blanket from yesterday, like 6 and he ate them all and asked for more!! lol, some days, I think it would be cheaper to take him to Old Country Buffet!

After School Snack:  Cheese and Whole Wheat Crackers with Grapes
