breakfast: oatmeal
lunch: I had a beet wrap but it was skimpy - using up the tail end of the beets and arugula - not quite enough. Cressida had a turkey sandwich - she made it herself. She also had some grape tomatoes, some pickles and some carrots sticks. She stayed home ill today so we had lunch together. Phyllis had peanut butter on saltines, carrot sticks, pickles and grape tomatoes. Dai had cream cheese on saltines, carrot sticks, prunes and grape tomatoes. She isn't a fan of this brand of pickles.
After school snack:
Dinner: Potato leek soup. My girls love potato leek soup. Phyllis told me to make sure I used cream in it this time. I am actually using a recipe that is supposed to be like California Pizza Kitchen's leek soup which was the first ever potato leek soup I had. It was back when I worked for PwC in Palo Alto. I loved it right away.
It was a bit thin - so I would do less liquid next time but the flavor was very good.
Prep ahead: Pressure cooked the CSA beets. Dai made kale chips using this week's and last week's kale bunches from the CSA. Cooked some pinto beans. I was going to do gringa beans, but I got more poblano chiles. I have been roasting them but we didn't use up last week's, so this time I diced some and made a new pinto beans recipe using those. I love my pressure cooker. It did my beets. Then before heading to bed, I started the pintos which will be done in the morning. Steam the three corn on the cobs from the CSA.
