My Word
I’m terrible at updates. But, I’m keeping my word. If you follow on Instagram you’re seeing a lot more than most folks. I love that easy app. I sometimes remember to post to our Facebook page as well, but that isn’t a guarantee. The lack of posting to this sweet blog isn’t because I’ve stopped […]
4th Grade and 1st Grade
4th grade sounds so old! I’m not exactly sure how that happened. Where did the time go? When did Simon get so big? He turns 9 in 5 days. I can’t carry him anymore, at least not without grunting. I’m not thrilled with my ‘first day lunch’ but I’ve granted myself a do-over. I mean, […]
Happy Spring Lunch
Sunshine and snow came on the first day of spring, and… a delicious cold lunch. The springy goods: Apricot Soy Yogurt, peas, garbanzo beans, edamame, cheddar Pirate Booty, kiwi, tiny orange, daisy lemon cookie, & a scrambled egg sandwich (courtesy of our sweet back yard hens). Things that make me happy: tulips in bloom (on […]

Wrappity Wrappity Wrap
Turkey, lettuce, tomatoes from our garden and a bit of dressing – wrap it all up and you get a delicious main course. The rest of the cold lunch looks like this… The rest of the delights for today’s midday meal we have edamame, a juicy clementine, a dollop of homemade applesauce, a handful of […]
Brat and Pan Fried Carrot Train
Love this train…well I love the boys that will eat that train at lunchtime today. Any tricks on getting your kids to eat carrots are very welcome! We still have a plethora of carrots to consume and my kids aren’t huge on raw carrots. These are pan fried in some olive oil. They prefer them […]
Colorful Cold Lunch
A little breakfast and a look ahead to lunch. This time during our morning is some of my favorite time during the entire day. That is a colorful lunch!
