Eva's Snack: Goldfish, Teddy Grahm's, Strawberries, Baby Carrots, go-gurt, colby cheese cubes.

Breakfast: Whole Wheat Pancakes with strawberries
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: BBQ Chicken and Rice - OMG was this good!! I got the recipe from Mandy's Recipe Box and I followed her suggestion and used pinto beans instead of black beans. I also added corn to it. Gerald said, "yumm, make that again!" Joey was a little stressed out that everything was mixed together, Ella picked at it, Eddie ate it up, Eva had something different, lol.
Here's my picture of it, but it didn't do it justice.
