I have to sit down today and do a grocery list and plan night weeks dinners:chef:

Oh is that what "groupies" call it now, working back stage??

Just kidding, hope you have fun.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

LOL! Yep. It's an easy guise. Really, I'm on the fair board & got recruited. I figure, why not, eh? That was for you, Rennea! My ex is Canadian so I picked that up for about 6 years.

Tonight is a Chuck E Cheese birthday party....so not sure.

DH is coming home at lunch time today - he has a bunch of comp hours because of working for all of the festivals on the different campuses this week. YEA!

So, I think lunch will be dinner. We will do Greek Salads w/ pre-grilled Greek Chicken, and melon slices. I might slice a papaya too.

Oh Gheesh - it's almost noon....better get crackin'!

That is just disgusting. I have a niece like that. Everyone (NOT me though!) thought it was cute when she was little.....and catered to her pickiness - but it's not so cute now that she is 25. I don't think our family meals should be dictated by what Tara will eat. She's an adult!:grumpy:

she has 2 sons and the little one is 3 he is OBESE he eats just like her, DQ steak fingers, cheetos and dr. pepper

 

[peachey]

Haven't seend my husband much lately because I was at National Conference and then we have both been working a lot this week... so we are having a grill night. Steak, roasted new potatoes, and spinach salad! And, hopefuly a nice glass of wine. I am already hungry.

Grrrrrr! You have hit a pet peeve of mine.

I cannot understand, with all of the info out there these days about the epidemic of childhood obesity, diabetes, and heart disease why ANYONE would choose to ignore their children's eating habits and let their children dictate what they will eat.

For breakfast, DS had a PB&J on whole grain toast, with 1/2 a banana, and milk.

For snack, he had a Clementine orange and some almonds.....

For lunch - he will have some Greek chicken, with sliced tomatoes, celery, & cucumbers w/ ranch dip, whole grain crackers, and more milk.
If he doesn't want the chicken, he may choose a cheese stick instead.

And of course - it's CEC Pizza & B-day cake for supper..... so he's not deprived of treats....they are just given in moderation, and never in place of real food.
