Day 10

There was no school today and we went to a play date for lunch so I thought I'd post something that D and I did over the weekend.  One of the ways I am able to get D to eat healthy foods is to involve her in the process.  We made Rainbows And Butterflies Pasta Salad.

Here D is using small fondant cutters (Wilton brand that I picked up at Michael's) to cut shapes out of her all time favorite Orange Bell Peppers. 

The end result...

She loves, loves, loves this pasta salad.  I made some grape tomato hearts for the red, corn for yellow, orange bell peppers, edamame and peas for green, add a bit of greek yogurt with blueberries and she has eaten the rainbow!

Day 7

Snow Day!!!  We had our second blizzard of the season here in the North East so no school for the kids!

This is what D had for lunch.

High protein, multigrain bowtie pasta with tomato cream sauce, 2 chicken meatballs, greek yogurt with blueberries and some trail mix.  I bought the chicken meatballs pre-made.  I don't usually buy pre-made food, but these were on sale and I recognized all the ingredients on the label and the sodium was at a level I could live with. 

Tomato Cream Sauce
I just used a can of diced tomatoes (seasoned with garlic and oregano) and a splash of cream.  The trail mix is Emerald brand S'mores.
