Meals from the home

How is it going? Well it's the 10th and we have not eaten out once. 10 days is not much but we are getting there.
Day 5:  Breakfast Cereal
Lunch we packed the kids sandwiches, crackers, and drinks while we shopped for the weeks worth of food. We came home to eat some salad
Dinner I can honestly say I do not remember at the moment.

Day 6: breakfast was the kids normal cereal
Lunch Kids had Dino shaped chicken nuggets
Dinner again don't have a clue. Haha I feel like a space cadet.

Day 7: Breakfast I gave the kids some dry cereal cuz they wanted to run around. Fine with me as long as they eat. I made gluten free cookies :)
Lunch was left over nuggets. I had a chopped cucumber.
Dinner well ummmmm haha

Day 8: Apple and bananas
Lunch was peanut butter and jelly
Dinner was breakfast, scones with organic jam, bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs
I also made a peach pie. First one ever. It was a lil short on the peaches and the crust was over worked but still good.

Day 9: breakfast oatmeal and cereal daddy fed the kids I woke late.
Lunch we had sandwiches
Dinner was lasagna with carrots for daddy and cucumber for me.

Day 10: breakfast was a fast meal of ganola bars and banana before left for apts.
Lunch I made sweet and sour chicken over rice for the first time.
Dinner is ribs if its not raining if it is then left over lasagna.

Pre planned meals

Day 11: Breakfast gluten free oatmeal peanut butter balls for the kids as we have a very early busy morning.
Lunch left over lasagna
Dinner left overs, gotta finish it off.

It's been fun and challenging to stay on track. I wanna order in so I don't have to dirty my kitchen or have to cook.
Don't feel like you need to do every meal different or new. I try to make breakfast simple on me because well I am not a morning person. When you know your day is going to be filled with apts or being out, make simple meals. I like having quick things on hand for the kids if we need to be out. Another easy food is oatmeal balls. They are simple and keep very well.
I never measure when I make this. What you need is oatmeal, flax seed, honey and peanut butter. Warm the honey and peanut butter up( we use the natural peanut butter so its harder) in a bowl put oatmeal and 2-4 tables spoon flax seed, add the warm peanut butter and honey mix together, you want the oatmeal damp but not soggy. Add in raisins, chocolate or other favorite add ins. Take wax paper and make into 1in balls. I make them small because they are easier for the kids to eat. You could add mashed bananas as well just would need a lot more oatmeal but would add in fruit with out the kids knowing. I make them the night before we have a busy day. Place them in a air tight container and keep for a few days.
Happy home cooking to you!
