Breakfast: Oatmeal. The milk is technically over it's sell by date but it is still ok, so I need to get it used up.
Lunch: Phyllis had a ham sandwich, apple, carrots coins with Italian and beets. Cressida had a PBH, apple, carrot coins, and beets. Dai had a PBJ with apples, the last corn on the cob and prunes. Jason has bean burritos stuff, and carrot and celery sticks.
I am making New England boiled dinner. Today is a rough night with much extra-curricular activities. I am hoping making it ahead will help. I planned it awhile ago and so I bought a huge head of cabbage. 6 pounds! Plus we are using the CSA savoy cabbage. I didn't core the cabbage, but I see now that I should have - especially when it is that dense! I used up the last of the potatoes - some CSA and some not. I had to get carrots. Usually I buy them in the 10-pound bag at Costco but I didn't want to go that far so I went to Nob Hill. I must say - the carrots seem more bitter. That is my lunch today. I used to add two meats - but mostly Phyllis and I like it - the other put up with or pick around it - so now just one, which makes it much cheaper.
Dinner: New England boiled dinner. Phyllis's favorite part is the meat. Dai gets no meat at all and her favorite part is the potatoes. Phyllis didn't eat her cabbage - so I ate hers and mine - my favorite part.
Prep ahead: cracked wheat prepared and soaking on the stove. I just realized that maybe it is the almost 24 hour soak versus 8-10 that resulted in the "bready" flavor that the kids didn't love in the past.Will have to bear that in mind tomorrow.
I made pizza dough using a pizza dough recipe that uses half fresh ground wheat flour. Yes, in the bread machine, not by hand. I had CSA tomatoes and fresh basil left. I got the basil for the baked ziti but it was a lot and I do not want it to go to waste. I think, it is for leftover lunches, though, rather than eating today. Dai was bummed when I started dishing the New England boiled dinner because she saw the pizza and thought that was what we were having. Lunches should be really easy though.
