Breakfast: Jason and Cressida had egg burritos. Dai, Phyllis and I had egg sandwiches. Phyllis also had canned apricots. I had Roma. I don't always record when I do - but mostly I just have it ion my driving days.
Lunch: Jason had a bean and rice burrito and three carrots worth of carrot sticks. This is what finally got me up this morning. After I got back from running with Dai, I laid down. Yes, my sweaty self on our clean sheets. I actually managed to fall asleep after the alarm went off and Jason got up. About 7:20 he came in and said something and I asked if he was ready to go and he said that he was except for lunch. I asked what he was having and if he would like me to peel some carrots. He said yes. I said thanks for letting me sleep, because I actually did sleep for a bit. He said it was a begrudging act, but he was glad I slept. So, I got up to peel carrots.
Cressida had a PBH, half a CSA bell pepper, one of the partial CSA corn cobs (there were three total,) some CSA strawberries, a CSA apple and some CSA carrots. They are tiny but sweet. He was telling me what she had and I was so glad that my kids actually consider that a treat. She couldn't decide which three she most wanted so she took five produce. Go for it, girl. We haven't had to convince them of fruits and veggies wonders - they own that all themselves. Phyllis and Dai both took bean burritos wrapped in tinfoil. I am not sure how hot they will be by the time they eat them. I am now out of beans so need to make a new batch. Dai took CSA strawberries, CSA corn and CSA carrots. Phyllis took a CSA apple, CSA strawberries, a CSA carrot and the last of the CSA corn. Dai took a lollipop for her dessert and Phyllis and Cress took the cookies that Dai made this past weekend. I had a beet wrap with cream cheese instead of goat cheese and also added five sliced strawberries to it. It worked well.
After school snack: microwave popcorn
Dinner: Baked ziti - I did two batches because we had guests for dinner. One had hot link and one was meatless. Our guests were the Tervalons, my brother, Lane, and Jason's brother, Jereme. We also had a salad using the CSA lettuce, three CSA kale leaves, a head of romaine, CSA beets from last week, CSA bell pepper, CSA tomatoes and a cucumber. Our dressings are diminished a bit - South of the Border Ranch, the homemade green cilantro dressing, a homemade balsamic and the Blue Cheese. We also had garlic bread - store bought variety. I cooked the remaining three sweet dumpling squashes (we got eight between my brother, Lane, and the CSA and had three left) and the CSA butternut squash. I cut the butternut into fourths. I did two just plain per Dai's request as she prefers butter and salt and pepper to sweet squash. The sweet dumpling and the two butternut quarters with the cavity I did with brown sugar, apples, nutmeg and butter in the cavity. I think they came out nicely and I got to use up some of our many apples. Jason made a toffee pudding cake for dinner and we had vanilla ice-cream with that. We also used some of the CSA limes to make margaritas.
