Day 90

Yesterday D and I made No Bake Granola Balls.  We used this recipe from the PBS website.  I had to make some adjustments to make it school safe since D is in a nut free classroom.  I used soy butter instead of peanut butter and I used homemade nut free granola.  Then just for fun we rolled them in unsweetened coconut.
I used a chocolate marshmallow to make the nose and ears and a white cake sprinkle with some blue frosting for eyes.
For lunch D and A have seafood salad in lettuce cups with cucumber and orange bell pepper.

Day 89

For snack D has some banana bread.  I used this recipe from King Arthur Flour.  I reduced the sugar some and replaced one egg with chia gel.

For lunch D and A have some shredded marinated, grilled pork, tortellini salad and grape tomatoes.
I just kind of tossed a little bit of everything into the pasta salad.  There is ham, salami, roasted red peppers, olives and peas in there with a little bit of light poppy seed dressing.

Yay I'm in!!

Sorry for the lack of posts.  I have not been able to get into Blogger for days!  Rather than bore you with my back log of nothing special, I'll start today off new.

Day 87 & 88

Yesterday got away from me so I'm posting 2 days again.  The weather has been so dreary I find I can't get out of my own way!  I'm ready for some sun!


I started my day off yesterday feeling like I was running behind so all D had for snack was a banana!  For lunch I made mini spinach pies with cheese and nori eyes and some grape tomatoes.

For snack today D had Black rice pudding.
Lunch was corn dog muffins and fresh mozzarella cheese.

Days 85 & 86



D had seen some chocolate covered frozen bananas at the grocery store the other day.  It was a box of 6 (so really 3 bananas) for $5+.  She was begging for them but there was no way I was paying that!  So I promised her that we'd make them.  She had no school on Friday so it was the perfect time for us to do a little project together!
For lunch her and A have grilled ham and cheese sandwich and some peach slices.

Day 86
D has some random odds and ends...part of a 100 calorie pack of chocolate cookies, some s'mores gold fish and a few fruit snacks.

For lunch they had turkey, salami and cheese roll ups, a mozzarella and carrot fish, grape tomato balloon and some peach slices.
