I'm kind of breaking away from the normal use of this blog and decided to set up a recipe blog so anyone can see what exactly this crazy family eats every day. We are very consistent and dedicated to good health. We have a unique way of eating that has brought us health and happiness.

Dinner: Revisted Refried Beans and Rice...I love leftovers personally but I don't think my family always does...beans and rice fare well the next day I think.....tomorrow the rest will be made into some kind of yummy soup.

Breakfast: oats (but some people had leftover pancakes)

Lunch: Oh..I broke down and we actually had PB and J today. I'm not sure why I avoid this but I guess I feel like it's just not a meal that gives me what I need. I'm more of a bean/meat protein person. Anyway, we had the sandwiches in the car on the way to a million errands today. Not even a few minutes to spread out the picnic blanket.

Dinner: Bean Soup

This soup turned out great. I simply added chicken broth, a couple of cut up chicken breasts, garden zucchini and salt. My kids loved it and it filled our tummies.

sides: garden cucumbers....we are getting lots this year..yay..last year we only had a few and it was a bummer because I was all psyched to can pickles. No can can this year...I just won't do that pregnant. It's too much of a strain.

Dessert: Coconut Pudding

I think I forgot to mention the fabulous raw frozen coconut pie I made the other day. My friend gave me the recipe and I LOVE making it.  I used the three leftover young coconuts from the pie. I always buy a few extra because we love coconut and I might as well buy a lot once I'm at the Thai store that sells them for cheap.

For the pudding I hacked open the coconuts with my huge knife I bought at the Thai store. (that's the part I like the best....) Then I pour out the coconut juice (which is soooo good for you). I scrape out the coconut meat and put it in our k-tec blender with a squirt of lemon juice, a handful of blueberries and a couple of T of agave and coconut oil.

Blend it up and serve it immediately or chilled as coconut pudding...soooo good.

Breakfast: oats and blackberries

Lunch: adzuki beans and barley

sides: garden cucumbers

Okay..I have to say I'm a so proud of myself when I make what I call a "food storage/garden" meal. When something I serve my family is nearly 100% from food storage and the garden I feel like a proud Latter Day Saint girl.

Dinner: I'm thinking of making calzones for dinner tonight...with cheese and chicken sausage filling. Same idea as pizza just a little twist that my kids will probably think is cool. We'll see how I'm feeling...maybe need to rest this afternoon because I've been a busy bee this week and ran a little faster this morning and yesterday...gotta watch my pregnant legs now that I'm in the third trimester.

Dessert: Zucchini Muffins

I will definitely make this no matter how I feel. I've got two beautiful Zucchini from my garden waiting to for me to make them into something delicious.


Note: I made the calzones and the muffins all in one tornado and then spent a hour on the couch recovering...Sasha saved me from the couch and took me house shopping...we aren't moving but we like to look for fun. I told the kids that mommy and daddy were having a date and we just happened to be taking them with us...they weren't too thrilled to be thrown in the car just to drive by some houses.

The Calzones were SOOOOO delicious and even though they were a little bit of work I want to make them again...like tomorrow...

Breakfast: Zucchini muffins (some of us still ate oats)

Lunch: zucchini muffins ...I didn't mean to eat them again but my friend asked us to meet her at the park and I didn't have enough time to get a "normal lunch" together. Her kids and my kids devoured the muffins and everyone seemed very happy.

sides: fresh picked apricots...my friend has a tree with about 4,000 apricots in it and we made a very small dent in it this morning and picked a few hundred.

Dinner: Adzuki Bean and barley casserole (yesterdays beans and barley with some cumin, tomato sauce, corn tortillas and cheese) My kids will eat anything if there is some cheese on top.

sides: kiwi and peaches

Breakfast: oats (I'm really liking macademia nuts, banana and blueberries on mine lately)

Lunch: Salmon and steamed potatoes (I always add parsley, garlic powder, dill and salt to both..olive oil to the potatoes)

sides: garden cucumbers and our first garden tomato

Dinner: Cold cereal...can't remember the name...some fake cheerios w/ dehydrated strawberries. Not bad but not my favorite..I really like raisin bran and this kind called puffins.

Dessert: My favorite cookies at Good Earth were on sale and I brought some home. I can eat an entire box by myself..they are soooo good.

Dinner: Garden Veggie Lasagna Supreme

I'm pre-blogging this today so I'll just tell my idea for the recipe and then maybe I'll actually look one up on-line to help me not mess this up. My idea is to saute some zucchini, squash and green beans together with garlic and some other spices I haven't decided ye. I'll have that be the bulk of my lasagna. I'll add grated cheese and some chicken sausage in the layers and call it almost vegetarian but very good for using up garden veggies. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Okay..I looked up some recipes and am trying the crazy and cool idea I found online. You actually use the giant zucchini from your garden sliced up as the lasagna noodles....I did that and then made a tomato, squash, green bean, and italian spice sauce in the blender which I poured over the "noodles" I added the sausage and cheese to the layers. It's still cooking...I may steam the "noodles" first because it's going on 2 hours in the oven to achieve the tenderness I was looking for and that's a bit long for me.

Okay final comment on this venture. It tasted great..I got impatient and took it out before it reached it's full tenderness so it would have been a little bit easier to chew if I'd cooked it until really really tender..all in all it was a success.
