Breakfast: 2-egg omelet with ham, feta, spinach, tomato, and green onion; 1 apricot-lemon muffin; coffee
Lunch: leftovers from last night; 1/4 apple; water
Dinner: Cauliflower and Ham Soup (very similar to ham and potato soup, but a little more nutritious); leftover brussels sprouts; water; paleo double-chocolate cashew cookies
CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP
6 c. water
7 tsp. chicken boullion
2 – 8 oz. packages cream cheese, melted
2 – 16 oz. packages frozen cauliflower florets (3 pkgs if you need to feed more people)
1 c. chopped ham
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dill
Add all ingredients to a crockpot (it works best if you start to melt the cream cheese in the water first, to get it nice and soft) and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Or you can put it all in a big pot on the stove and just simmer until the cauliflower is soft.
By the way… my little point-and-shoot is really not making these meals look very tasty, but it’s a lot easier than getting the big camera out every day just for one food shot…
What a crazy day… CrossFit C-U in the morning, did laundry, pulled weeds, afternoon photo shoot, took the girls to their last swim lesson of the semester, took Eden to Convenient Care for an eye infection, fed and bathed girls, rescheduled all of tomorrow’s activities, picked up prescription for Eden, put girls to bed… then ate dinner. Thank goodness it was delicious – Sky is a great cook!!

We made sure to eat supper BEFORE going to the Carrie Busey school carnival tonight, in order to avoid all the junk food there… and we even escaped with only 4 pieces of candy in the girls’ goodie bags! And though it looks otherwise, Eden really did want to play the musical chairs cake-walk game… she was just nervous around all the big kids I think…
