What did you cook/eat today: Parents and Kids Edition!
So...who's willing to share what their kids actually eat on a day to day basis? My little girl is 7 and in 2nd grade in public school IN TEXAS, so almost everything she eats has to be homemade. She just ate hummus on toast and two pickles for breakfast because I'm busy answering work emails. Oops.
Yesterday:
B: vanilla Silk yogurt w/strawberries and blueberries. Chai for her, coffee for me.
L: Tacos w/black beans, spinach, salsa (avocado on mine), leftover rice
S: popcorn, smoothies
D: giant veggie stirfry (squash, broccoli, cabbage, baby bok choy, carrots, celery, green onion, garlic, snow peas) with tofu, steamed rice
We made some strawberry muffins (from Vegan Brunch) for dessert...and I had two glasses of wine :P

babysgotsauce: you always say noodles with earth balance... so it's just pasta noodles mixed with butter? what kind of noodles? do u like to eat this too?
yes, organic whole wheat noodles with Earth Balance mixed in it....just a basic kid-friendly dish...sometimes I try to add vegetables cut very, very small, but she usually throws them out.....for adults maybe add some garlic and nutritional yeast or Parma

Yesterday was baby girl's birthday! She's eight. I tried to negotiate and get her to go backwards this year and turn six instead, but no luck. Her party was so fun, but after having 15 kids ranging in age from two to ten tear up my house I am left with quite the mess. Due to food allergies, everything had to be vegan, gluten free and peanut free...

Party food: rice crackers, grapes, edamame, homemade sushi (tofu, carrot, cucumber and avocado in different combos rolled with brown rice and nori), chocolate raspberry cupcakes. It was great!
