Quick Veggie Tray

Alexander is my picky eater, he turns his nose up at most anything you put in front of him, BUT... he does love his raw veggies!  Last night we went to get groceries and he was super excited to pick out his snacks for the week.  His choices were broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots!  He proudly sorted through the produce to get the best looking vegetables while big brother Christian fetched produce bags to place it all in.  They work great together.  :)

Today, I've been cleaning house and getting organized for the upcoming week.  I don't know if your fridge is anything like mine, but the produce is stuffed in there and gets lost and forgotten about until you find it all wilted and wasted.  I find that its best to prep everything right after a shopping trip and have it ready for when the kids want it. So I took a break from laundry to tackle the veggies...


I tossed the veggies in the sink to clean



and chopped them up.


And I know that I have a nice veggie platter somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it today.  
So instead I pulled out one that I kept from the grocery store.


And voila!  The Veggie Tray is ready!! Pretty simple! 
And it only took about 10 minutes of my time.  The tray was already washed before storing, the sticker peeled off super easy, and chopping the veggies didn't take any time.  You may notice that there isn't any dip... Alexander eats his veggies as is.  No dip needed.  :)


Here is the boy taking a break from playing with his Legos to snack on his veggies

Made the below recipe for chicken tonight. It was yummy! It has been a long day and I totally forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but I wanted to post the recipe so that I wouldn't loose it. Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3.

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s.
