Today's Lunch, Snack and Dinner Phood Photos!

I wanted to take photos of my food today. Phood Photos. We usually have pb&j for lunch but today I was in the mood for something different. We don't have a snack everyday, but today was carbs, carbs, carbs and I thought it was lovely since it looked like a cupcake! Just to report in, dinner tonight I call "Sun Dried Tomato Chicken". I thought it looked pretty in the pan.

Speaking of pans, I have this weird love for a Farberware non-stick pan I bought in 1999. The coating is now scratched so I was in search of a replacement. Everytime I looked at Target, nothing struck my fancy. So I ordered the (almost) exact same pan online! It was on uber sale so I bought THREE! Two will go into storage for the envitable day when I'll need a replacement. You know by now that I'm no cooking aficionado but I do like the shape of this pan!

I can't remember what life was like before I started planning and preparing meals for my family. It has become so much a part of who I am and a big part of my daily routine. I even noticed last week that I was preferring to come home and cook dinner instead of grabbing something out. Who is this person living my life?!??!

Mom Will You Cut Off My Crusts?

I was in the mood to document Sarah's lunch today. I've been cutting her crusts off her sandwiches for about 8 years! If each sandwich has four cuts and she eats 5 sandwiches per week, that's 20 cuts per week. If did this for 5 years that would be 5, 200 cuts! No wonder I'm weary of trimming bread crusts! I decided that since she doesn't eat the whole sandwich anyways (even without the crusts), why not use the "circle method". WOW, I LOVE this and wanted to share.

I know I must REALLY be a geek, but this makes me so happy! I use one of our drinking glasses to do the deed and she LOVES eating a UFO saucer for lunch!

Using the same divided plate for lunch everyday (yes, it gets washed each night!) helps me remember to include a veggie and a fruit everyday. "You Get What You Get, So Don't Make A Fit"!
