Introduction

You know, I'm one of those people who thinks they should blog, but have difficulty actually doing it. I had a blog once. Before the birth of my daughter, Z. And deleted it because I never posted anything. I post frequently on Facebook and realized that I probably should blog instead of driving my husband crazy with the frequency of my birth/food/parenting/other posts that constantly show up on his notifications. :)

Here it goes, again. Welcome to my [new] blog.



Today I'm posting about my lunch.

Side Note:
I read French Kids Eat Everything, and it has completely changed my views about eating, in the best way. Now, I cook from scratch using the best ingredients I can find. At our house, meals are served in courses. We're all working on eating slowly and savoring food. Our family avoids processed foods and seeks out new foods. I'm learning to like foods I used to hate. AND IT'S FUN!





Back to lunch...

Menu

Starter: Grilled Cheddar Cheese Sandwich on Harper's Homemade bread

Main: Leftover Pearl Onion [and Green Bean] Casserole 

Salad/Cheese: Strawberry Cranberry Turkey Feta Salad with Homemade French Vinaigrette

Dessert: Banana, One square of Lindt 85% cocoa chocolate


In case you are wondering, I don't always feel like serving in courses. Or cooking, for that matter. Today was one of those days. But I convinced myself that the dining experience would be worth the effort of planning, cooking, and dressing the table. And you know what? It was.


What's your favorite lunch to fix?
