Wednesday

Yesterday was Winter's first day of high school! She packed a lunch in her Laptop lunches lunchbox we bought at Goodwill. She made a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich, green grapes, sour cream and chive rice cakes, sugar cookies, and a bottle of water. She had a good day and likes her teachers.

I bought a can of jalapeño almonds on my way to work yesterday for $2.39. I was planning to eat some leftovers when I got home from work, but I wound up eating half the can of almonds on my break, and wasn't all that hungry when I got home. Oh well. After I got home, Winter and I made Yonanas with frozen bananas and frozen mangoes.

Breakfast: smoothie made with milk, frozen banana, and strawberry Petite Cream (shared with Winter)
Lunch: sandwich with lettuce, turkey, salami, provolone and dijon mustard, and a chocolate pudding cup
Dinner: apple, jalapeño almonds
Snacks/desserts: sugar cookies, protein bar, mango and banana Yonanas
Beverages: water

What we ate 07-10-14

100% fruit

Last Christmas we got an Amazon gift card for the family. We wanted to get something the whole family could use and enjoy, so after much deliberation we bought a Yonanas machine. What it does is it turns frozen fruit into a soft serve style frozen dessert. Last night I turned some frozen bananas and strawberries into strawberry banana Yonanas for dessert. It tastes more like a smoothie than straight up ice cream, but the texture is very smooth and ice cream like. I also like it made with mango and/or kiwi. Some fruits pulverize better than others. In general, the less fibrous the fruit is the better it works. Winter loves Yonanas. Sometimes we have it for breakfast.

Breakfast: protein bar and chocolate milk
Lunch: wrap made with flour tortilla, goat cheese, chipotle chicken, radishes, and cabbage, and leftover bean and vegetable soup
Dinner: stir fried chicken, cabbage and carrots with teriyaki sauce and brown rice
Snacks/desserts: strawberry banana Yonanas
Beverages: Coke Zero, water

Jeremy had a sandwich for lunch, stir fry for dinner, and we shared the Coke Zero and the Yonanas.

Purchases yesterday were the Coke Zero for $1.69, the chocolate milk for $1.39 and the protein bar for $1.00
