BabyLove likes variety but, after yesterday, he says he is going to be more careful about what he wishes for! Breakfast was eggs and lomi salmon, which he loves. The lunch experiment was SB&J burgers with mango instead of strawberry. He was VERY skeptical, so I made mine and let him try it before putting anything on his burger. He was surprised to like my homemade sunbutter. It was so simple to make! I roasted a cookie sheet full of sunflower seeds, then put them in the food processor and added salt. After about 10 minutes (on and off, or it will overheat), I added just under a tablespoon of avocado oil. I could have added a little more oil to make it creamier but it was pretty darn good like that and I was afraid of adding too much oil. I think what made it so good was that I roasted the seeds right before I made it, rather than buying pre-roasted seeds. What BabyLove didn't care for was the flavor of mango (his favorite fruit) with the burger. So I enjoyed my SB&J and he enjoyed his SB burger with lettuce and a side of brussels sprouts for lunch. Dinner was one of our favorites: spaghetti squash with hamburger and homemade pasta sauce on top.
Today is a work day, so back to packing meals. M1 was Aidell Chicken and Apple sausages and roasted red bell peppers and zucchini. For lunch/dinner, I packed pork and carrots I had done in the crockpot, frozen normandy veggies, raw baby carrots, a pear, boiled eggs and nuts. He has a training today, so hopefully he'll be home early! If so, we'll have a real dinner instead of him snacking on eggs, carrots and nuts.
And now for the tuna warning: did you know that tuna in water may not be packed in just water? It is packed in vegetable broth and has soy! I did find SOME albacore tuna that really is packed in water and Kirkland Skipjack Tuna in water is also really packed in water. But every can of "regular" tuna I checked had soy! Just another lesson in reading labels!
