Many times people ask me about what we eat as a family. I wanted to share some of our meals with you. Yesterday's menu looked like this:
I skipped breakfast because I woke up late for church. This is a usual occurence since I am not an early bird....I do not get the supermom award for breakfasts....but if you are an early riser and have some good ideas and/or pictures, please comment below and let us know about it! I'd love to see what you've got going on at your house!
Son M (SM) skipped breakfast....he gets it honest :)
Dear Daughter had a banana with granola and blueberries. (way to go making good choices!)
Son T had granola and some banana chips.
Little E had an orange with granola.
As a snack I packed a wonderful mix to stash in my purse....even though I skip breakfast I don't want to be ravished later and make a bad decision on food!
This is one of my favorite homemade "trail-mixes". It has figs, dates, banana chips, pecans, pistachios, and cacao-coconut bites. I just throw everything in a ziplock bag and put it in my purse to snack on as I get hungry. It gives a burst of energy, keeps you satisfied, and the figs and dates are like nature's candy!! If you haven't tried real dates and figs, please do! You won't regret it!
For dinner we had a smorgasbord of tasty food that popped with the colors of the rainbow!
Fried cabbage with onions, sweet potatoes with a black bean, corn, cilantro topping, mixed raw veggies and some delicious red pepper hummus.
The sweet potato meal is so super easy to make....and super yummy. I boil a few sweet potatoes. While waiting on the potatoes I mix 1 can of blackbeans and one can of corn and heat them in a simmer pot. Then chop up a bunch of cilantro. Once the potatoes are fork tender I take off the skins and place them in a casserole dish, pour the blackbeans and corn on top, and then top this with cilantro. (I usually also add guacamole, but we were all out.)
To tell you the truth, its not all dandelions and roses here, and we're not a magical family in which every single member just loves vegetables! When it come to the raw veggies and hummus, it's a winner every time......but cabbage.....that's another story! I usually have to fight and bribe to get the smaller two kids to eat it.
