Week 44, Day 3

Breakfast: jason, CressidA and I had oatmeal. I had no milk but sometimes the kids and jason have used the rice milk. Jason prefers almond milk but Costco hasnt been carrying it for awhile so I got rice milk. He doesn't love it but he will use it. The older two girls day it tastes like rice cereal when made with white rice. Phyllis and Dai shsred dai's cereal again. Dai had done well at sharing that.

Lunch: Dai had a tamato sandwich (she is sick of pizza) and let me me out the last single Alice of turkey in it. The other two had pizza as did Jason and I. Cress and Dai had CSA Romanesco, half CSA bell pepper and a CSA apple. Phyllis had CSA romanesco, half a CSA bell pepper, and a carrot coins. No dessert since they had halloween parties today.

Dinner: cress, Phyllis and jason had pizza for dinner. I had a tomato sandwich. Dai thinks she didn't eat. Phyllis ate again when Ryan yacono's family got McDonald's while she was there. I let eac kid have three Halloween candies. Phhyllis had a few more at Ryan's so I didn't let her have any.

Week 44, Day 1

Breakfast: burritos

Lunch:  The girls all had PBH with carrots, Romanesco and prunes.  Convenient when Jason makes them all the same.  Jason had leftover pasta.  I had leftover salad with some turkey lunch meat tossed on top.

After school snack: Cheese sticks and Phyllis and Rachel Hoge also had canned apricots.

Dinner:  pizza, carrot sticks and grape tomatoes with ranch dressing for dipping, chicken wings, soda and candy corns.  All part of our carving party.

Week 43, Day 7

Breakfast: Cressida and I had oatmeal.  She had the rest of the old fashioned oats and some steel cut oats.  I ate the rest of the steel cut oats and the last persimmon.  Jason had a breakfast burrito.  Dai had the cereal that she bought at her birthday auction and shared with Phyllis.

Lunch:  Cressida had two turkey sanwiches on rolls. She also had the last CSA apple, half a CSA bell pepper, pickles and the last of her pumpkin seeds.  I don't think that they came out great so if I roast more I think I will look for a different recipe/technique.  Phyllis and Dai had whole carrots and half a CSA bell pepper.  Dai took three smallish CSA tomatoes for her third produce.  Phyllis took pickles for her third produce.  Dai and Phyllis took candy for dessert.  Jason had leftover salad and a turkey sandwich. I ate some leftover pasta. Jason and I had ice-cream: vanilla with chocolate sauce. (Jason stayed home sick. Poor guy!)

Dinner:  panzanella made by Jason and leftover delicate squash. The girls had ice-cream for dessert. 

Week 43, day 6

Breakfast: burritos. I actually wanted steel cut oats but Jason was already starting burritos and I didn't want to break his heart.

Lunch: I hadn't turkey sandwich and a CSA apple. Cressida had stuffed pizza, a CSA apple, carrot sticks and prunes. Also pumpkin seeds we roasted the night before.
Phyllis had stuffed pizza, CSA apple, pumpkin seeds, carrots
Daitarih had turkey sandwich, two carrots, a CSA apple and a CSA tomato. She also took Mike and Ike candies.

Dinner: Salad with CSA lettuce, English cucumbers, CSA tomatoes and a yellow CSA bell pepper.  Eat the rainbow, right?  I hadn't started dinner and then Penny Greathurst showed up to get James.  She was a little earlier than usual.  I think right about 5, maybe?  She asked what was for dinner because she couldn't smell anything.  I told her cheaty pasta (I had to explain that,) salad and squash.  I love visiting with her as I make dinner.  It is kind of our thing.  We did try once to go out to catch up, but something came up.  Her daughter, Izzy, laughed at some point and I asked, "What?"  Apparently every time that I turned around her mom snatched a piece out of the salad.  I think, honestly, that is great!  They don't eat a lot of vegetables.  I had Dai bring in the squash I bought today out at LJB Farms.  I went for pumpkins and bought a bunch more besides.  I got three spaghetti squash, a banana squash (new to me,) two delicata (we are cooking that for dinner tonight with garlic and butter) and a butternut squash.  She asked how we cooked it and if my kids didn't get sick of eating the same things.  I told her it wasn't the same.  Well, the banana squash will last a couple days, but I will break up the spaghetti squash with other squash in between and it will be fine. 

Week 43, day 5

Breakfast: breakfast burritos

Lunch: pizza except Dai who is sick of pizza so she had a tomato sandwich on church bread. Truthfully, I wish I had done, too. Getting sick of pizza. We had ice-cream for dessert.

Dinner: Phyllis, Cressida and Jason had bean burritos. Daitarih and I had leftover oatmeal. She had old fashioned and I had steel cut.

Prep ahead: Cressida got a pumpkin at her Pumpkin Fun Run at school on Friday. The cut it open and scooped out the guts and mostly cleaned the seeds and then put them in a baggie in the pumpkin which she brought home.  Her assignment was to count them.  To make it easier and because the girls always ask me to roast the pumpkin seeds and I always say "no." I did roast them.  She counted 513 (but we had already eaten half a dozen or so before.)  Now we have that as a snack.
