Day 2: Leftover Creations

We woke up to snow this morning. The kids were so excited that the 2 year old had her boots, jacket, hat and mittens on and was out in the snow just after 6am. Her brothers joined her shortly after.

In between "fix my glove" "my hands are cold" and "my neck is wet" I managed to make their lunch and breakfast. Breakfast was Oatmeal* with peaches*.  For the main lunch entree I took leftover chicken and quinoa from dinner last night and added some peas and carrots as well as some shredded veggies (that I had leftover from making the pancakes last night) and sauteed it all together with some Bragg's Amino Acids. If you've never had Bragg's, it is a lot like soy sauce but 1/3 the sodium and has the added benefit of amino acids. The kids love it and even put it on their popcorn. 

Fried Quinoa w/ veggies and chicken*, edamame*, whole wheat zucchini muffins*, walnuts, apples and a date*

Dinner tonight will be refried beans in the crock pot and veggie quesadillas on homemade tortillas. I've never made tortillas so wish me luck!

*organic (I got tired of typing it each time!)

It's a Two-fer

What a hectic and crazy morning I had! Got up extra early to get their lunches ready and still have enough time to take a shower, find someone to watch little Miss and rush off to take my oldest to the dentist even earlier than we normally leave for school. Lack of sleep, caffeine, and brain cells leave me with nothing witty or pithy to say so enjoy the 2 days of grub....

Corn-dog muffins, cheese stick, cucumber flowers and carrot sticks, watermelon balls and mini chocolate chips.

PB&J star sandwich surrounded by bunny grahams, 1/2 banana and almonds, celery and cream cheese, cantelope stars and craisins, mini chocolate chips.
