Lunch

Lunch

Since Apple is a huge fan of Cream of Mushroom soup it would seem that was all we were eating for lunch for a very long time. The last few weeks, however, I have been cutting back on carbs and trying to introduce new fun things for lunch and dinner.  Last week I made two meals that I have never made before, Chili and Pad Thai Chicken.  The Chili was a huge hit and Hubby liked the Pad Thai, but I could have done without.

This week I have now introduced another two things, one is Steel Cut Oatmeal for breakfast. Some of the ladies on Twitter were talking about making it in their crock pot last week, so I set it up last night and the Oatmeal was ready when I woke up this morning. A little stuck to the bottom of the pot but I think either I needed a tad bit more water or I needed to stay up an hour later. Either way it was a delicious way to start the morning.

Today, I decided that Apple and I were not going to have Cream of Mushroom soup but Avacado sandwiches made with fresh mulit-grain bread from the bakery.  Apple wanted hers in a bowl instead of as a sandwich so I thought I would join her too.  I am happy that she loves Avacado so much as it is really so good for you.

Now for the rest of the week.  Meal planning continues, last night was fettucini with home made meat sauce and garlic toast.

Tonight is swimming, so it is usually light fare: Pork Tenderloin with rice

Wednesday: Irish Stew

Thursday: Mandarin Chicken

Friday: Homemade Pizza

And hopefully, I will get to add a few more fun things in there for lunch as well.
