Breakfast: Breakfast burritos. Jason and I added tomatoes and peppers to ours and he did his in a tortilla. He made the girls but I did ours and I added the eggs before the pan was hot enough, I think, The texture was a little off.
Lunch: I made chicken salad today. I made the Craisins, apple and celery kind that Cress adores to use up the last of the Craisins. It requires more mayo since it doesn't get the moisture from the mandarin oranges like my usual. Everyone had that with saltine crackers. Last time I bought saltines they had wheat and regular and I got one of each and today we are almost out of the wheat ones so I asked the girls what they thought. They said they noticed no real difference, except Cress who thought wheat was better. Phyllis aid, "The same so get whichever is cheaper." They are essentially the same as far as nutrients go and the cost was the same so we will probably do wheat since one kid had a preference. I also did the rest of the CSA cauliflower, CSA beets and some snap peas in their lunches. Snap peas always seem to turn after a few days in the bag - I should ask Nicole Tervalon how she stores hers since she gets them more often than I do.
After school snack: bell peppers sliced from our CSA
Dinner: Burritos using taco beans again. We also had CSA cauliflower -steamed. We had CSA strawberries with whipped cream for dessert.
Prep ahead: roasted the CSA peppers
