Breakfast: Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal
Snack: peanut butter nuggets
Recipe--Peanut Butter Nuggets, adapted from allrecipes.com
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts
1/3 cup rolled oats
Combine all ingredients in small mixing bowl. Form into 1" balls (cookie scoop is easiest). Place on waxed paper and set in fridge or freezer. Serve cold.
Lunch: tangerines, leftovers
Snack: brownies and juice (yikes!) and then, because little tummies were still hungry, "ants on a log"
Recipe--Ants on a Log
celery sticks
peanut butter
raisins
Wash and cut celery into sticks. Spread with peanut butter. Little fingers have more fun doing their own ants. If you're lucky, they might even say, "mommy! I need more logs!"
Dinner: breaded pork chops and creamed peas and potatoes
Recipe--Breaded Pork Chops
4 thin pork chops
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 T grated parmesan
salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
1/4 cup spinach or broccoli puree
Combine egg and puree in bowl and beat well. Combine all dry ingredients in separate bowl. Dip pork chops in egg mixture, then in breading, coating both sides well. Place in greased baking dish. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until center reads at least 160 degrees F.
Recipe--Creamed Peas and Potatoes
(I've never made this well, so I'll give you a method, not a recipe)
potatoes
peas
white sauce
Cook the potatoes and peas to your liking, add the white sauce. In hindsight, I might have sauteed some onions, then cooked the potatoes with the onions like I would for potato soup. My problems are a major lack of flavor and creaminess--maybe because I'm too cheap to use cream in my white sauce? Maybe it needs cheese?
