Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad with Spinach and  Parmesan

Tonight I made Veggie Burgers with Black Bean Chipotle Patties and Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad. They were both very good. The kids ate most of their dinner. For lunch I had a smoothie which I shared with my two older children.

I made Baked Shells with Tomato and Mozzarella and Baked Fennel with Parmesan. The fennel turned out delicious. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of either one before I brought it to church and both dishes got devoured. For lunch I had grilled cheese with sharp white cheddar and Minestrone soup. No smoothie today. I did attempt a walk with my two dogs and my two youngest children. It ended up with me and my stroller being toppled over. My knee is scraped up and my son hitting his face but not getting injured, thankfully.

The Beginning of Week 3

Hello all! I am coming to the realization that posting everyday is not going to happen. It is too hard to keep up. My new goal will be to post 2-3 times each week. I will be updating what we have eaten and how we feel. I will also include links to the recipes I use and occasionally products I buy. This last weekend we celebrated Easter with our family and church family. It was a great time.

Today we had waffles and jelly for breakfast. The kids had cupcakes and sugar snap peas and watermelon at the Children's Easter Celebration for Church. When they returned home I fed them honey roasted peanuts and walnuts because they were starving. For lunch I had my left overs. Dinner I made a Toasted Pita Salad with Corn Chowder. The salad was delicious.

It was a very nontraditional Easter Dinner spread at my parents house. Since we were the only guests my mom opted out of cooking her traditional Ham and baked potatoes with rolls. My dad barbecued tofu dogs, veggie burgers and hamburgers. We had fruit salad, chips and dip, cheesy potatoes and baked beans. The veggie burgers tasted a lot like the Vegetable Meatloaf we had cooked previously. My whole family felt stuffed.

Fruit Smoothies for breakfast

For breakfast the kids had waffles. I just had coffee. For lunch Zoie had a Nutella and Jelly sandwich with Goldfish and Pirate's Booty. We had the Smoothie for an after school snack. For dinner we had a celebration for the Church Martial Art's 2 year Anniversary. We had cheese pizza and cupcakes. I did not take a picture of the pizza!

For breakfast the kids had Frosted Flakes. For lunch Zoie had Nutella and Jelly. Brodie shared beans and rice with cheese which I ended up turning into Nachos. For dinner I am going to do Veggie Burgers again and make a Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad. I will substitute the Feta for Parmesan because I need to go grocery shopping. I will post pictures in the near future!
