Breakfast: oatmeal, except I had leftover pizza
Lunch: McD's - kids got double cheeseburgers with extra pickles and I tried a new burger
Dinner: Potato leek soup - we got a leek from the CSA but I needed two for the recipe. I also lightened it up - it called for 1 cup of butter and 2 cups of cream. Don't get me wrong, we totally add good quality fats when a recipe really needs them but I have made a lot of soups, so I know it doesn't. I used half the butter and substituted milk for half the cream (essentially like using half and half for the cream, right?)
And salad with grilled chicken. Originally, that was my plan and two of the kids wanted that instead of soup, so we did both - Cress and Dai didn't have soup.
We had mangoes with cinnamon for dessert.
Prep ahead: green salad dressing - Dai made it almost entirely by herself!
