I kind of hate yogurt, but I have some in the fridge that I absolutely have to use this week. It’s plain yogurt, and I’m hoping that by blending up some berries and adding some granola it will make for a happy breakfast.

The noodles, peas, and parmesan cheese is something that came about when I ran out of food J That’s pretty much what I had, and it is one of Alice’s favorite lunches now. Ethan enjoys the peas most of all.

For the burgers, I use turkey instead of beef. I add onion and garlic before making the patties. The roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts I roast with olive oil, salt, and pepper (oven at 400 for 25 minutes or so).  

We like the peanut butter chocolate Lara bars. Only a few ingredients and I can pronounce them all! For snacks, I usually give Alice ½ of a bar. Trust me; she does not need all that sugar!

Do you have the Target Cartwheel app? Applegate Farms meat and cheese were 25% off this weekend! I stocked up, which explains the bacon and hot dogs on the menu this week. We use these hot dogs. I usually try for organic, but can’t always make it happen in the budget. I still feel OK about these…way better than just generic hot dogs.

The curry I made last week is back, this time with tofu instead of chicken. I think this is a new family favorite dish, especially for Sergio and I. We were so excited to eat the leftovers!

The roasted veggie penne is a recipe I found in this month’s Good Housekeeping. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Happy eating J
