Pizza Friday!

When I was growing up, one of our traditions was to have pizza on Friday for dinner.  I don't know if it was payday or if it was just the easiest thing to do at the end of a long week, but we really enjoyed it.  We figured, why not give it a try for Molly's lunch?  Here you go...

Our main entree is turkey pepperoni pizza.  We purchased a pre-made crust and added sauce, cheese and turkey pepperoni.  We're so excited to hear Molly's reaction.

Our vegetable side is a garden salad.  Another one of our traditions was to have a big salad with our pizza nights.  It makes sense because that way, there was always a vegetable on the table.  We also added a side of light Italian dressing.  It looks like a lot from this angle, but it is less than a tablespoon.

Our fruit side is sliced strawberries.  They are on sale at the store right now and the sweetness and flavor keep getting better and better.  We can't wait to go pick our own this summer!

Our dairy side is a Babybel cheese.  We figured that Molly might need a little something extra and this is a perfect fit.

Finally, our Fun Friday Treat is a small package of M&M's and some Smarties.  Molly's Nana was the candy giver this year for Easter.  We were happy add some of these sweet confections for a special treat.

Short Week

We are lucky enough to have a spring break at the end of this week and the beginning of next week.  It will be so nice to spend time together as a family during the celebration of Easter.  We have so many traditions in our family for Easter and we look forward to them every year.  From dying Easter eggs to reading the stories of how Jesus gave his life so that we could live ours.  It is such a special time of year.

Only 3 lunches at school this week.  We will be sure to make something special on Wednesday that has an Easter theme.  Stay tuned. ☺

Our main entrée is pepperoni pizza.  Yep, a normal pizza Monday.  Molly's Papa brought this pizza for us all the way from Buffalo, NY.  Yes, we gave up fast food for Lent but we really didn't get fast food since Molly's Papa bought it half baked and we had to finish baking it at home.  A stretch?  Maybe.  But it is really delicious!

Our vegetable side is a romaine lettuce salad.  We've added light Italian dressing on the side that we feel will go well with the pizza.

Our fruit side is sliced strawberries. This batch is a bit sweeter than the last.  We're almost at those incredibly sweet "yes, summer is here" strawberries that we long for all year.

Finally, our dairy/dessert is our standard Dannon Light and Fit vanilla yogurt.  Again, it was by request.  Molly really is a creature of habit.
