breakfast and lunch schedule

{thanks for your sweet thoughts and prayers yesterday! thanks for your grace and understanding. i knew i needed to write it THAT DAY so it would be REAL. but it was hard to write...and even harder to live through! i was finally able to cry my eyes out and process through  my heart with Pat last night and went to bed feeling very loved (thanks!) and a little lighter. today has been better...}

i was asked about our "breakfasts" around here...and since i just sat down with the kids and planned out our breakfasts and lunches, i thought i'd share.

i'm a "schedule" person. i also have a couple kids that are just better when they know what to expect. so this works for us...to eat the SAME thing every monday, etc.

in case you can't read it, or it isn't specific enough, here's the breakdown:

breakfast-
monday - toast with peanut butter and a smoothie (almond milk, frozen strawberries, bananas and greek yogurt)
tuesday - scrambled eggs and fruit
wednesday - sausage balls (no carb sausage balls....not the kind with bisquik)
thursday - granola (pumpkin flax granola that i buy in a box) and almond milk (this is new...and after 2 years of not eating cereal, they are loving it :-))
friday - fried rice - it's this recipe that i got in a magazine...using yellow basmati rice (the kind you'd have with indian food) with eggs cooked in it, garlic, bacon crumbled...sounds weird but they LOVE it and it's actually pretty easy as long as i remember to make the yellow rice for dinner a night or 2 before and just reheat it and add the other ingredients

lunch - they can add fruit and something else to this...
monday - salad with chicken, carrots, cucumbers, ...
tuesday - pepperoni and cheese wrapped in ham slices
wednesday - sandwich
thursday - pistachios
friday - Lara bar (a new friday treat ;-))

super simple and kinda healthy and it works for us. at least for now!

do YOU have any good breakfast or lunch staples you or your kids LOVE?!!?
