back at it, and on a beautiful sunny and warm monday, positive feelings all around.

b-fast----good old trusty cheerios and orange smiles

lunch-----sun-butter and blueberry sandwiches with carrot sticks, apple slices, cheese stick and milk
 --i love using sun-butter as an alternitive to any type of nut butter, as we cannot use nuts in either of our centers, and the smashed blueberries with a touch of sugar, preferably honey, is a perfect match, and very simple.

snack.....fresh fruit seasoned yogurt and graham crackers.....am still working on finding the time to make a fresh graham cracker.....i have a fairly simple and healthy recipe

OK.......Garden update.............my starts on spicnach, brocolli, and swiss chard all came through the dirt!
i am headin outside now to move more dirt in the goal of filling up our boxes.

lunch-----baked lemony cod, pan seared sweet, whole wheat biscuits, fruit salad and milk
........fruit salad is a great way to utilize fruit that needs to be used before the weekend.
-------and dont let people tell you that kids won't eat fish

THEY LOVE IT!

It's been over a year, but I'm back!  I am at Pierce College now and am being given the opportunity to do some wonderful things with kids, families and teachers involving food at the Milgard and Garnero Child Development Centers.

It's the end of spring, and I am looking forward to more sunny days and more importantly a new wave of seasonal fruits and veggies.  And even bigger than that.......gardening! 

We have dirt, seeds, boxes, starts and a process (sort of).  Today I will start shoveling dirt....if the rain decides to stay away.
oh ya food....
breakfast----turkey sausage sandwiches on fresh whole wheat biscuit, fresh applesauce and milk. 
                      -dont usually do meat at breakfast, but these have been in my freezer for a long                      time and need to be out of it.
