Mini-quiches

It was time-consuming, but the results were GOOD. I combined a Kraft spinach cheese bake recipe with a quiche recipe for the filling, and then used various additives in the different cups. Half were vegetarian with spinach, for my daughter; half had ham or bacon; half of the meat had vegetables added.

The mid-kid actually tried one of the no-vegetable ones, and even ate all of it - but then had a hot dog. Small man stuck with a hot dog.

The Lovely Daughter approved, and that's really what I was going for.

Pancakes

Bacon for the carnivores, faux sausage for the vegetarian.

I was going to have grapes for the illusion of balance, but forgot to wash them and put them on the table. We can have them for dessert :)

Yesterday was a grab-whatever dinner, adjusting to the new karate schedule. I think in the future that on Fridays, I'll have to have diner with the mid-kid before leaving, and then let TMOTH and and Small Man eat when they get home. The Lovely Daughter can pick who to eat with :)

Steak and the trimmings

For some reason, I *really* wanted asparagus today. So when I arrived in the produce department and they had some that looked nice, I bought it, even at $2.99 a pound.

We also had salad, baked potatoes, mushrooms & onions, and crescent rolls. Boys had tube steaks :) and the Lovely Daughter had some marinated tofu with her salad.

Ham

I bought a big chunk o'ham yesterday, and sliced it up today. Two bags of slices and a little bag of chunks went into the freezer. I was making ham stock, but it burned :(

We also had mac-n-cheese, green beans, cucumber, and sliced apples.

Burgers

With strawberries and cantaloupe on the side. Yum.

Garlic Shrimp

From this recipe. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

We also had fried potatoes and foccacia bread (yeah, a bit carb-heavy) and apple pie for dessert.

I had hoppin' John and greens at lunchtime :)

I got chicken thighs out of the freezer for tomorrow.
