I hate making seperate meals. It's time consuming, there are more dishes to clean, and it's harder to multi-task. But then they are those days where my children obviously needed different types of food, and it feels good to be appreciated as a cook. Today wasn't too bad.

The O ate walnut butter and grape jelly on Ezekiel toasted bread along with a gala apple, raisins, rice cakes and a glass of juice.

The A's had rice noodles with sauteed spinach and tex mex chicken nuggets (leftovers thrown together.) Leftover spices along with ghee and salt seasoned this dish nicely. I worry that my O is not getting enough protein, but I suppose I should quit worrying. It's my job to stock my kitchen with healthy food: it's his job to actually eat it!

I just picked up some turkey jerky from our local health food store. I am hoping that the O likes it. If I receive a thumbs up, I may ask the store if they can get the beef jerky from Shelton's as well. That would solve my protein dilemna for now!

Good eats -- and thank you to Miss J and another Miss J who recently contacted me. I appreciate your thoughts!
