Georgia and June's Breakfast Today

Georgia:
1 whole banana
1 glass of green smoothie
1 bowl of Cheerios
2 slices of bacon
and a glass of milk

June:
All of that plus another half slice of bacon

Sheesh!  Our grocery bills are already out of control, and our 5th family member hasn't even started making much of a dent in the food budget.  

Here's the smoothie "recipe" that we used today, but with smoothies you can always wing it on amounts and ingredient substitutions:
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 c coconut milk
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/4 c water
  • handful of frozen peach slices (maybe 6?)
  • hunk of kale (approx. 1 c)
  • top with ice (about 6 cubes)
Blend.  Yum.  

June, keep your food on the table!

Better to spend a bunch of food and have them eat it than to have them push it around (Rosalie), throw it across the room (Violet), or declare it unacceptable (Lila). ::sigh::

Oh, I hear ya! I am very grateful that they'll eat. And even with "good eaters," I often find myself cursing the amount of food that goes down the drain. Dinner bugs me the worst because it requires the most effort to put together a nutritious meal, only to have the littles declare it unacceptable. But I am really stubborn in that regard -- no second meals/alternate offerings here! The only exception I guess is when Joe and I decide to order out for ourselves (usually stuff G is allergic to) and feed the girls some mac n cheese beforehand. Good luck, Cara. Food woes suck.
