Last week I bought and checked out some healthy cookbooks and this week they came in handy indeed! No more boring sandwiches in their boxes, veggies and fruits were incorporated into every meal, and water was drunk daily throughout the day. I swapped out ground turkey for ground beef this week and even tried out some turkey bacon in lieu of the traditional pork bacon.
- The turkey taco salad was a success and the kids even wanted more. No chips, just veggies and salsa topped with seasoned turkey.
- I made oatmeal cookies without white sugar and nobody even noticed.
- The kids loved their grilled chicken wraps stuffed with spinach for lunch.
- Made homemade pizzas on homemade dough piled with fresh veggies (made chicken/pineapple too) and it was a hit. They even said they preferred it to store bought or from the restaurant!
- Breakfast was complete with fruit smoothies (1-2%milk, ice, fresh fruit).
- Made a low-fat baked ziti the family enjoyed.
This week I still need to attempt apple chips from fresh apples and fresh herbed/veggie bread.
