Peanut butter sandwiches, carrots and broccoli, wheat crackers, fruit leather (dad, D & E)
Noodles, banana, carrots and snap peas (T)

Dinner:
Veggie burgers
spinach and carrots
Snacks:
homemade sugar cookies with brown rice syrup instead of white sugar
Busy day! Mom had school again so we needed to keep it simple for dinner. Throwing veggie burgers on the grill pan worked nicely but T wasn't full with one so we will need to remember that 14 year old's and dad's may need more food!
We are kind of in a rut for lunch, but I don't think that is a bad thing. If the kids start to complain or get bored with it, we can make a change but it is nice being able to put together the same thing for them at night and we wash and re-use tupperware sectioned containers, which fit a sandwich and 2 snacks in there perfectly!
I kind of wish the kids were eating a more nutritious breakfast so I will have to think of some ways to get them some more fruits or something in the a.m.
Snacks: these are so important to kids (and us all!) so I made some more cookies last night but used brown rice syrup to replace the white sugar in the recipe and egg replacer for the eggs. They tasted great, but the first batch was really thin so I refrigerated the dough for an hour and then they were a little bit better. I'll be looking for snack ideas and advice because I don't necessarily think we need cookies every day!
We have gone thru almost all of our produce so we'll need a mid-week grocery run!
