Inspiration From Work

Meatlover's lunch tonight was inspired by a lunch the kids at work had the other day. He had Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups, sunflower seeds, carrots, and an orange. All but the orange fit in his lunch box. It also took like no time to make!

Meatlover likes Pesto!

I'm always trying to introduce Meatlover to things he has never tried before. Yesterday he tried pesto on spagetti. He said he liked it but he liked it better with some tomato sauce added to it. Im glad he is trying new things and liking them..it opens so many doors!

Burgers..and BACON?
















We are trying to use up the bacon from Meatlover's breakfast the other day. I had to idea to make bacon wrapped burgers. Of course we cooked them on the George Foreman to drain off most of the fat. Meatlover served it up on slices of whole wheat bread and some onion. He is soo odd. He said the onion made the flavors really POP! I also had a burger on this night, though mine looks less impressive..but it was also fairly greasy for a BOCA..I dont know why. I served mine up on an english muffin with mustard, ketchup, onion, cheese, and pickles. Whats your favorite burger?

Can you smell the bacon?

Last Friday I had a doctor's appointment that Meatlover was going to take me to. I once again needed to get Meatlover out of bed a little bit earlier then he wanted to. So like I have done before I made him a yummy breakfast to entice him to get up. He got bacon, scrambled eggs and toast. I had eggs and an English muffin. We washed it down with our latest addiction, OJ!! He got up with a smile on his face! :)

Cauliflower :)

So I love broccoli and cauliflower and this was leftover after the Kabobs. I decided to have it as a snack with a little ranch dip. It was soo yummy!

Kabobs..and lots of SMOKE!!!
















So Meatlover and I attempted to make Kabobs the other day. Mine, in the foil, were cauliflower an potato. His were chicken, onion, and potato. They didn't turn out well! Meatlover's potato was too big so his chicken took forever to cook. Mine hardly cooked at all. It just smoked and smoked. We had to stop or the smoke alarm would have gone off. I didn't really like how the cauliflower tasted and my potato was still raw. I made myself some cereal and called it a night..Matt ate most of his and thought it was pretty good. We probably won't make this again so we don't get all the smoke.
