I used to think that when I oohed and awwhed about Truluck's chocolate cake, that food was my life. But then today as I calculated all the different meals needed for my family, and their different preparation requirements, I realized that food truely is my life.
My toddler consumes three meals, and two snacks. She starts and ends her day with whole milk warmed to perfection in the microwave, and placed in a sippy cup for her sustenance and comfort. She also consumes three meals where I aspire to provide a fruit, starch and vegetable. Then there are the snacks such as fruits, or cheese or peanut butter with crackers.
My baby consumes 3 meals a day which I make sure are the right temperature and consistency. I used to try to avoid the microwave, but I now stir things to avoid hot spots. Our son gets cereal, fruit or vegetable and either formula or mom's milk warmed perfectly. Then he gets all the mom's milk he can take.
My husband needs to be fattened up, so I do my best to give him hefty meals. Also, I like providing high protine snacks for when he's running out the door. Plus, we like to use the produce we have grown out in our garden.
This week I used Foodonthetable.com, and I'm excited about how it pointed out some meat specials I would have missed (even after reading the flyer). It's also fun having a different and easy plan for at least a couple of meals for the week!
I want to make: Taco Salad, something with shrimp, something with chicken... chili, enchilada casserole, my cabbage,polenta soup, cauliflower chorizo soup, lentil soup, zuccini cheese wraps, salad, a fabulous pear/bluecheese/arugula pizza, fresh squeezed orange juice, baked apples, bannana bread, sour dough bread, lots of warm cereals, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, potato soup, goyza, tea, krispi treats, mac and cheese, cheese dip,
