Menus Again

I've been neglecting this blog. No good excuse, it's not like we haven't been eating! I've instituted a return to healthy eating. It seems it was one long sugar fest from Halloween to New Year's. Hey, I like sugar as much as the next guy but the kids were snacking more than eating meals. I have mostly skinny kids but L is a little heftier. She is always at the 80-85 percentile for weight so while I don't limit her I do try to steer her towards better choices so she doesn't develop a weight problem. It must suck to have a dietitian for a mother.

Snacks are popcorn, any fruit from the bowl, toast. I did add in lots of OJ, but I do not have milk drinkers here. I found a sale on the calcium enriched kind. I did a bunch of OAMC baking the other day so muffins, pancakes, rolls, etc are in the freezer which makes it easier. I've been just baking bread on Monday and Thursday, about 4 loaves at a time and freezing half so it stays fresh. I hope to make a big batch of veg soup and chili this week to put in the freezer and pull out as needed.
