Day 5 in Angie’s Kitchen
In my effort to keep it real this week, I have to admit that I don’t think I have any funny little background quips about our day. We kept so busy that I’m tired now and our day seems like a blur. So, forgive my cluelessness, but somehow, I suspect that instead of thinking, “What a flake,” most of you are probably thinking, “Oh yeah, I’ve had days like that.”
Breakfast was a rushed cereal. Everyone got their choice of the four different kinds that are in our cereal keepers, though the excitement of breakfast has become trying to balance your spoon on the edge of the bowl. I’m not particularly happy about this new adventure, and suspect I will be even less happy when it finally happens that someone accidentally flings cereal across the room.
For lunch, we had grilled cheese sandwiches. I know — more sandwiches. But, this was my first time with warm sandwiches this week. Each of the kids also had small bowls of chicken noodle soup (with funky princess shapes, which thrilled Molly, age 4 1/2). For dessert, the kids had chocolate pudding with whipped cream and sprinkles. I once had someone comment that I shouldn’t be adding whipped cream and sprinkles because it wasn’t like they needed encouragement to eat the pudding. But, since we are having sugar free pudding, and I don’t add a ton of whipped cream (Reddi Whip) or sprinkles, I figure it’s just a fun dessert. It’s one of those things that I hope when they are older and they think of pudding, they will remember the way their Mom always topped it with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Hello pizza-licious goodness! Tonight, dinner was calzones that I made at Dream Dinners a couple of months ago. I don’t often go to Dream Dinners, but our local store is owned by someone I know, and I like being able to head there when I get a chance. Plus, since our location will sometimes have days where you don’t have to make as many meals as usual, that makes it possible in our budget. The calzone was super yummy! Of course, I now think that I’ll have to give it a try to just make my own calzone later.
See you tomorrow in my kitchen again!
