Day 316

Day 316 -  Breakfast for lunch!!  I picked up some Blueberry Streussel bread at Target the other day.  It was Archer Farm Brand.  I highly recommend it.  It wasn't super sweet so it was perfect for french toast!  So for lunch today D has blueberry french toast, a beef slider, mini dipper of syrup, homemade yogurt topped with blueberries and a clementine.

Day 286

Day 286 - Breakfast for lunch!  It's always a good standby! I got up a little late this morning so it was nice to be able to just grab some pancakes out of the freezer, some left over breakfast sausage from Saturday, a homemade yogurt parfait, maple syrup, an orange and some Trader Joe's yogurt stars.

Day 210

Day 210 - D has mini pancakes with a small bottle of syrup, grape and pear tomatoes, chicken/apple sausage and oranges.  This was the quick lunch I was trying to throw together for her Wednesday morning but we just ran out of time.  Turns out this is what was for lunch at school on Wednesay!  Only differences were the school uses turkey breakfast sausages and serves it with warm apples and no tomatoes.

Day 45

I have been feeling uninspired lately.  Could be the weather...I'm trying to get out of my funk!

M made her own lunch today...I have grown weary of the list of complaints she comes home with daily so she can pack her own lunch for a while and learn to appreciate my efforts again...yeah right!  Anyway D has homemade greek yogurt with raspberry sauce and Cracklin' Oat Bran cereal.

D and A's lunch is breakfast empanada angels.  I used frozen empanada dough and filled them with chopped hard boiled egg, ham and cheese.  The head is a mozzarella stick.  Dress is a lettuce leaf and a grape halo.

Raspberry syrup/sauce
1 (16oz) package frozen raspberries
1/4 c water
4 packets Truvia sweetener

Put all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  I use my stick blender to puree it then pass it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

Day 38

Monday again!! The girls have strawberries, D's with applesauce and M's with orange segments.  For M's lunch she has edamame succotash, roasted broccoli and mac n cheese.

Today did not start out great for me.  I woke up to no electricity.  It was pouring buckets outside and the wind was howling.  Some how between getting out of bed and taking D to the bus stop I lost my wedding band.  I was ready for a little sunshine by lunch time!  So today D and A are having breakfast for lunch again, but it looks bright and sunny and makes me happy!  LOL  I sliced a red pepper crosswise into rings then scrambled some egg and filled the pepper rings in the frying pan.  I cooked them on low for a few minutes then finished them off in a 350 oven.  I put them on top of buttered toast then made a carrot and red pepper flower on top.

Day 28

Today everyone is having breakfast for lunch.  I have been making my waffles with this recipe. They are nice and crisp on the outside and so light and fluffy on the inside.  My girls love them too!  And they are pink because we still have some beet puree to use up.  I added 1/4 c puree to the recipe.  M also has Al Fresco Sweet Apple chicken sausage, 2 heart shortbread cookies, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli and ranch dip.  The round container is her syrup.  D didn't eat her snack yesterday because they had a class party so she is bringing it back to school today.

D and A have pink waffles with strawberries and cream, same apple chicken sausages (breakfast link size) and a clementine.
