Lunch - Another day of trying

Second day of getting son ready for day camp. Its not easy. Its like repacking them every morning for what's to come and making sure you have plenty of supplies because in most cases, what was wet the night before is not dry. Making sure he has a healthy breakfast, making sure nothing is forgotten because the camp is in Dallas proper. Then there's getting the girl ready. The couch potato who has her nose stuck in the ipad addicted to Wallace and Gromit. Then there comes me : shower and prepare a decent lunch and hopefully get to the office by 10. *sigh*

So this morning, its a baby greens salad with veggies, fat free feta and pepitas for crunch since I'm not using croutons. If you haven't checked out pepitas you should, though in moderation. They are sunflower seeds on steroids. The innards, yes I said innards, of a pumpkin seed.



Anyhow, here is my salad that I will enjoy with no salt black beans at lunch. They want me to eat 2400 calories and work my way down until I start losing. 2400? I barely get in 1200. Maybe that's a clue.

Personalized Stuffed Crust Pizza with little man

I suck because I waited so long to post this one that I don't have the "recipe" but it was too fun not to post the pictures of me and lil man making our personalized stuffed crust. We each picked something we wanted the crust stuffed with and had our own section of pizza personalized. Lil man had a cheese stick, Mama bear had gargonzola, Daddy bear and baby bear had chedder. Honestly, recipe or not, there was no magic potion to this. I found a nice, trustworthy, fast rising pizza dough recipe. Ragu Pizza sauce, cheese and turkey pepperoni. Bake. The End. It was so much fun to cook this with Lil Man.
