Once I woke up and got myself moving, coffee was on the menu. After hanging out with my bearded dragon, Keith, I decided that we could share a banana. I figured it would be good for me to eat it and he needs to eat more fruits and veggies too, so we both benefited.

After PT, I found myself at Smart & Final for their disposable cups for morning smoothies and some veggie that I forgot at the grocery store on Monday. I think smoothies in the morning are going to be important for Mikey before school. I'm not really sure how much he is going to eat while he is there. I will pack him snacks and a sandwich, but I am not feeling confident that he will even eat it. Ugh! It is hard to know how he will handle eating in high school, especially since it is his first year there and he is unsure about the best way to eat healthy while at school. Mackenzie has sports med and their fridge for her lunch, Mikey is like everyone else without a fridge. This will be a trial and error experience with my boy. I just hope that he is able to keep up the great eating and confidence in himself.
When I got home, I broke open a bag of macadamia nuts and munched on those while I was trying to figure out my plan of attack for dinner.
Kale pesto with sautéed shrimp with garlic/onions |
On the stove, I boiled some water to make my GF brown rice pasta. While the pasta was cooking, I started peeling my shrimp, luckily they were already deveined. Once the pasta was done, I drained it and put it back in the pot and added the pesto to it. It sat while I started sautéing some butter, onions and garlic in my iron skillet. Once they were translucent, I added the shrimp. I cooked them down until the butter was absorbed into the garlic and onions. Once they were done, I served the pesto pasta on each plate and added the shrimp mixture and viola! It was very tasty, good and healthy too.
Do you have any recipes that you've tried recently that you really like? Does your family like it too? My family doesn't always like my new recipes. I wish they loved everything and that they jumped for joy every time I put a plate in front of them with one of my creations, but that is not always the case. I'll keep trying.
Tomorrow will be a crazy day with my babies starting school. This will be the first time in 7 years that they will be at the same school. I am so excited for them! Too bad, their schedules are different in that Mackenzie can't take Mikey to school. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to have my "Mikey" time each day, but it would have been great to give them more brother/sister time too.
Until tomorrow,
Angela
