Crazy Week - Lunch 2

Still working hard at the consignment sale and there are three days left to work.  I'm tired just thinking about it.  But the sale will be great and the preschool will benefit so much from it.  Luckily, Molly's Daddy is so incredible and really helps me keep the ball rolling at home too.  He helped me with Molly's lunch again tonight so, thanks again, Daddy!

Our main entrée is spaghetti salad.  Molly requested some type of pasta salad and we had leftover whole wheat spaghetti from dinner last night, so that made the request much easier to fulfill.  We added turkey pepperoni, Monterey Jack cheese and light Italian dressing.

Our vegetable side is cucumber slices.  Another request from Molly.  These cool and refreshing veggies are always a nice addition to Molly's lunch.

Our fruit side is a Clementine and some green grapes.  Molly really likes both of these fruits so we figured that we'd add two of her favorites.

Finally, our dairy/dessert is Dannon Light and Fit Strawberry yogurt.  We usually buy a large container of vanilla yogurt and several small yogurts in fruit flavors.  Today, Molly chose strawberry just to mix things up a little bit.

Crazy Week - Lunch 1

This is going to be a crazy week for us.  Molly's little sister's preschool is having a consignment sale on Saturday morning and since I'm on the preschool board, I'm going to be "working" the sale every night for the rest of the week and then the big day on Saturday.  This means that there is a lot of planning ahead and lots of help from Molly's AWESOME Daddy.  He really helped so much with this lunch.  Thanks Daddy!

Our main entrée is left over cold pizza.  We are still honoring our Lenten sacrifice of giving up fast food so we purchased this frozen pizza today and baked it in our oven.  More convenient than making it from scratch ourselves but a lot less convenient than bringing home a hot pizza from the pizza parlor.  There is a little container of ranch dressing in this container for dipping.

Our vegetable side is sliced cucumbers.  Molly's Daddy used our crinkle knife to cut these fun little discs.

Our fruit side is a blood orange.  These are Molly's Daddy's favorite but he was nice enough to share one with her.

Finally, we have a special treat because Molly's little sister is the snack person tomorrow at preschool and Molly reaps the benefit of leftovers.  The theme of tomorrow's preschool day is "the early bird catches the worm." So, what better then some good old fashioned dirt for a snack?  We made sugar free, low fat chocolate and vanilla pudding. (We did both flavors in case one of the kids does not like chocolate pudding)  Then we added some smashed Oreo cookies on top of the pudding.  Finally, a few gummy worms top it off for fun.
