I miss it.
I'm tired of smoothies.
I want food.
I really want some curried chicken, but thoughts of heating up the stove are making me sweat.
Maybe we'll do take out tonight.

Avocado Smoothie
I wasn't sure if it would be too good, so I didn't vary the recipe too much. I didn't want to waste perfectly good veggies. But it was delish! Even the kids liked it! It was soo thick and creamy. I gave it to Maddy with a spoon.
1 ripe banana
1 cup orange juice
Half a bag of frozen strawberries
1 cup of strawberry yogurt
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
I think next time I'll add some flaxseed.

Smoothies...they're what's for dinner.
This heat is killing me! I have the energy for nothing. So I kept it simple tonight.
At Trader Joes this weekend, I picked up some shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and shredded broccoli. I mixed them together in a large container, setting some aside for a quick slaw. Surprisingly, Apani liked it! I just added some sugar, cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Dinner tonight was a hit. That is, 'til they spilled it! Kaity thought it was a good idea to run with her cup. Of course, Apani did also But they both got two cups out of it and Maddy drank what was left.
Looks like a warm, humid week, so watch out for more smoothie recipes!

Veal Meatballs and Fettuccine Alfredo with Sauteed Broccoli and Spinach
Success ... sort of.
They loved the veal, all three of them. Kaity liked the pasta. Apani needed some encouragement, or dare should I say, bribery. If she ate her pasta, there were popsicles waiting for them. But blended in those home-made smoothies was fresh broccoli, tomatoes, and radicchio. They were sooo good...seriously!

Setting Up
High chair purchased...Maddy LOVES it!
Introduce Table
It is more than just a place for hide and seek,
more than Apani's favorite place to pout.
It is not a decoration,
nor is it a resting place for my folded laundry,
it is supposed to be a utilized piece of furniture.
We are supposed to eat there!
We're getting used to the table. It hasn't been too hard. Turning the tv off was a littler upsetting, but we got over it. Now, will they eat?
Dinner one...utter failure. Mexican hamburgers were not very good.
