The pantry is full and it was the first day of school!

So I am finally posting again...
We were out of town and the fridge was empty...my world has temporarily been put on hold. That's what happens when we are out of our staples. After our refreshing visit to our local farmers market and our trip to T.J.'s I am centered and organized...well as far as food and nutrition go.
My son has started back at school this week and now begins the battle of him making time for breakfast and "remembering" to eat lunch. AH.. to be 13 again. I have stocked the fridge with food he can grab and go! His buss arrives at 7:30 and for some reason he has to leave at 7:00...hot am date or what? So we have sprouted wheat bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, whole grain waffles and a variety of cereal. I introduced him to Almond Milk and he loves it! I no longer have to buy cows milk. I am so happy about that.

Todays meal plan was:

Breakfast- Steel cut oatmeal with fresh Strawberries, Bananas and Honey. I have been toasting the oats and it makes such a difference in flavor.
Lunch - PB & J on sprouted wheat bread, Queen Anne plums from the market (the most delicious plums I have ever tasted). Hummus, salsa and flax chips. Eaten on the living room floor on a Tinkerbell blanket...all because my daughter wanted to have a picnic ;) It was sweet.
Dinner - Ratatouille with tomatoes and basil from our garden. Served over sprouted wheat Papparadelle pasta, sprinkled with Quattro Formaggio cheese blends.
Dinner was delicious...some protest from my daughter...her usual "That looks disGUSting! I am not going to eat it. " Well after a few minutes she did and told me it was "pretty good." She even asked for seconds ;) My one year old ate every morsel. I LOVE this age, where they devour everything in sight!

Later in the week:
Fish Tacos
Black Bean Burgers
