PB and Banana Sammich

A yummy lunch for a tot.

Grilled Shrimp with grilled veggies

Grilled shrimp with grilled onions, peppers, and zucchini alongside orzo pasta. 

Shrimp is one of those foods that really doesn't fill me up. I learned this lesson and will have to add some bread on the side next time.

Spicy Baked Salmon

This is one of my favorites! Jake makes a tasty salmon. The salmon is topped with garlic, onion and cayenne pepper. Shown here paired with roasted tomatoes and asparagus.

Angel Hair with Homemade Meatsauce

Fresh angel hair with my version of homemade tomato sauce. This tasty sauce includes onions, red bell peppers, garlic, red pepper flakes, peeled and crushed red plum tomatoes and the secret ingredient, tomato paste!

Tuna Salad Sandwich

Tuna Salad Sandwich with arugula, vine ripe tomato, salt and pepper.  Also a hint of spicy mustard complements the arugula and gives it extra flavor. Yum!

Fish and Chips

The catfish were on sale so I bought a bunch of fillets and fish fried them. Of course, not the healthiest of meals being that I threw in some fries but I balanced it out with some greens. I didn't have enough peas so I added green beans. Sometimes you have to work with what you have in the pantry.

The fun kids plate (with bananas).
If I get the chance I try to make a funny face on the plate.

 

Also added a delicious tomato, cucumber, arugula salad. I love arugula. I think I'm going to use it more in recipes.
