WHAT MY KIDS EAT IN A DAY - Day 1

What My Kids Eat in a Day. My boys are ages 6 & 7.

Breakfast: Sausage-stuffed French Toasts
Ingredients:
Sausages of choice (I used ten chicken sausages from Applegate).
Bread of choice (I used Honey Whole Wheat bread from Trader Joe's)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash of cinnamon

-Cook the sausages per box directions. Set them to the side and let them cool. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Cut the crusts off the bread (optional, you can keep it if you like). Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread, this will make them more pliable when you roll the sausages. Place the sausage on one side of the bread and roll it tightly, seal the ends with a fork. Continue with the remainder of the sausages. On medium low heat, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a pan and cook the sausage stuffed French toasts for about 2 minutes on each side until all the sides are golden brown. Move them to a plate and dust with powdered sugar. I served them with fruits and maple syrup.

Smoothie: Serves 2 kid portions
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup frozen cauliflower
2 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 tablespoon hemp seeds, optional
1 teaspoon bee pollen, optional

-place ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Lunch - Oven Baked Wings and Baby Potatoes
Ingredients:
Chicken wings
olive oil
Your fave BBQ rub (salt, pepper, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder)

Melted butter, 1 tablespoon per lb of potatoes
Baby potatoes, any potatoes will work just cut them to small cubes.

-preheat oven to 425
Drizzle some olive oil to the wings and add the BBQ rub (I didn't measure this just guesstimate it). If you have time, let them marinate for an hour. If not, cook in the oven for 20 minutes skin side down, flip and cook for another 20 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure they don't burn. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the potatoes, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook them in the oven with the wings for about 30 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Baby potatoes are great because you don't have to peel or cut the potatoes. Serve with your fave dipping sauces and veggies.

Dinner - Shrimp Linguine and Garlic Butter Sauce
Ingredients
Pasta of choice, I used linguine.
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons melted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt, pepper and garlic powder

-Cook your pasta per directions.

-Preheat the oven to 350F. Add the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons melted butter and lemon juice to the shrimp. Place on a baking sheet and cook for about 10-12 minutes.

Garlic Butter Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cream cheese (I used vegan cream cheese because it's all I had)
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or more
Salt, pepper, garlic powder

-Melt the butter in a pan, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Keep the heat to medium low to avoid burning. Add the flour and cook for a minute. SLOWLY add the milk and cream cheese, whisk until there are no lumps. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Go easy on the salt, the parmesan cheese will give it more saltiness. Add the parmesan cheese, whisk then add the pasta. Your shrimp should be done by now, so add them to the pan and combine everything together. Season to taste and add whatever you think it needs, add more milk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time. Serve with some veggies on the side.

Dessert - Strawberry Applesauce
8 apples, remove the core and cut to small pieces (no need to peel the skin, that's where all the fiber is)
1 lbs strawberries, eashed and hulled.
Agave, to taste

-Steam the apples for about 5 minutes. You can also boil them if you prefer. Add the strawberries and steam/boil for another 7-10 minutes. Add to a blender. Do not fill the blender, stop halfway. Blend until smooth. Add the remainder and blend until smooth. Taste for sweetness, I added about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of agave. Blend again and you are done. This will last 1 week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Enjoy.

Feeding our children is not a competition and it does not reflect how we are doing as a mom (or dad).
