So I really like to serve my children (and husband) baked salmon with brown rice and steamed broccoli.  In fact, that was one of our meals last week.  And I believe nutrition is really important.  But there are days, like today, where the only thing I can pull out of my weathered hat is frozen chicken nuggets and peas and corn.  I know it's not ideal.  When I start to feel guilty about it, I choose to think to myself "at least they're getting food in their bellies, which is more than some kids will get tonight".  But I know Derek, at least, is hoping for a brighter, more nutritional, tomorrow.

    I LOVE THIS MEAL! If your brother could have bread and would ingest peas, I would serve it nightly with love. We’ve had low-fat chicken enchiladas three nights in a row…tonight only out of pity to not let it ruin, so believe me, your meal is lookin’ good!

    If it helps you feel any better, we had Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and apple slices at 9:00 PM last night for our dinner…

    A meat, bread, & two vegetables. That’s what I call a balanced me. Ideal vs. convenient…it’s food and it looks fine to me! We all get busy and need a break every now & then.
