I've been wanting to start this thread for a long time, I have two reasons to start it now. The boys are more interested in what goes into their bodies and it's autumn. I cook more often starting in autumn. I will try to update everyday or so with something new cooking in my kitchen and please feel free to share your own healthful meals. Mine will all be vegetarian so please be kind and respectful here

So unfortunately...tonights dinner wasn't the healthiest but it was homemade with love and veggies. :P Tonight we had vegetable pizza...homemade pizza dough, tomato sauce, broccoli, red onions, cheese and cherry tomatoes.

It lasted about 1 minute.
I would have made a pizza, they take too long to cook for me.
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
and Burger King for me

When I said boys...I meant the Pearl Jam boys but they may not care about what goes into their bodies...maybe they just care about where it comes from. Me, I care about both. And yes my son LOVES broccoli. He eats all of his veggies and will often, during our walks, see plants that he knows and say, "I can eat that!" Really, he is the best eater I have...he is wonderful. It's difficult to stop him from grazing in peoples yards though...he doesn't understand that not everyone is friendly to their lawn.
My daughter who is 4, she will be 5 next month, had a problem with the cherry tomatoes...other than that...dinner was a hit!
Pumpkin Pancakes made with love. I added pecans and wheat germ to add more nutritional value.
While the pumpkin was on hand I decided to make Pumpkin Muffins. I added pecans and raisins to add extra nutrition!
The pumpkin pancakes were a hit of course! The kids are trying to get me to let them have some muffins but those will be frozen for another day...they aren't happy with that!!

a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku, and fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth. Ingredients vary according to region and between each household (tofu, ginger chicken meatballs, squid and pork belly added in our house). Karashi (Japanese mustard) is used as a condiment.
Kinda of like Japanese hot pot, but its slow cooked
YUM
dinner last night, hubby made chicken fajitas with whole wheat soft tortillas and his homemade guacamole - yum! tonight, shrimp scampi...very yum! LOVE having a husband who is such a good cook!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Vegetable and Fruit Mandala ...cucumbers, celery, apples, grapes, pears, blanched cauliflower, carrots, cherry tomatoes, blanched broccoli, and radishes.
...believe it or not, I had to keep yelling at them to stop eating before dinner...and the plate before the picture was taken was much fuller...kids
To complete our meal we had our version of Quesadillas...they were filled with low fat refried beans, cheddar cheese, onions...and on a few...jalapenos...with a dollop of low fat sour cream.
this meal is a staple in our household...so...it was a hit!!!!
What can I say? I'm old-fashioned.

I get whatever the wife wants. It's all good
my wife is Japanese and is a tremendous cook-so I am spoiled when to comes to Japanese food!
although tonight is home made chicken soup
but we had soba with kitsune tofu for lunch!
Thick cut peppered bacon from the butcher, green leaf lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes, extra sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese,on toasted 100% whole grain wheat bread with a little mayo. Along with good old fashion Campbell's Tomato soup!! It was damn good!! Wish I would have taken a picture for you all to see.
Also enjoying a few 2009 Jubelale's.
Now that's how you over dramatize what is essentially a basic BLT.
