I'm feeling a little bit of denial that this is our last weekend before school begins! I'm not ready for back packs and lunches, homework and early morning craze! The kids chose their favorite meals for the first week of school. You'll definitely see many repeats! Ellie and I went to the market yesterday and did a super shop for back to school breakfasts and lunches. I found a hot cereal made with quinoa & flax that can be used to make muffins as well. We are going to make them Monday morning so everyone can enjoy healthy muffins before school in the morning. We also stocked up on Greek yogurts for a healthy treat. We bought many bags of nuts and some whole grain crackers and cheeses for snacks too. Popcorn is a favorite to have after school and so are cheese quesadillas. Feeling good that both indoor and outdoor fridges are stocked well!
This weeks meals are easy to prepare so I can be all ears when everyone arrives home from school.
Monday: pulled barbecue chicken on rolls with kale slaw
Tuesday: beef and broccoli stir fry with red quinoa
Wednesday: homemade chicken noodle soup served in individual bread bowls with a side salad
Thursday: shrimp, scallion and zucchini risotto
Friday: homemade rosemary, potato, bacon pizza and a mixed green salad
Saturday and Sunday are Labor Day weekend so lots of picnic food to bring on the boat.
As always I'd love to hear what others are making in their kitchens! Please share your ideas and be in touch if you'd like any recipes of mine.
Wishing everyone a happy and smooth transition back to school.
Donna
