As the garden is doing well and we've been blackberry picking, most of our meals contained a fair amount of fruits and vegetables. Our suppers continue to be humble affairs. But everything gets eaten and every tummy is full.

Friday's dinner will be pizza, again. I had mentioned to my family that I thought I could eat pizza a couple of times per week. Tuesday -- pizza, tonight -- pizza. Fortunately, my family agreed that pizza twice in a week would be a good thing.
Breakfasts continued to be yogurt with fruit (this week blueberries and blackberries), toast, cold cereal, fruit, juice, and sometimes leftovers from dinner. Do you like dinner leftovers for breakfast, too? Sometimes a lentil taco just hits the spot at 7 AM.
Lunches were homemade soups (one -- Italian lentil and vegetable, the other -- turnip stems, carrot and potato), leftovers, peanut butter sandwiches, garden salads, cheese, fruit& toast, plus cookies or brownies
Snacks included popcorn, fresh fruit, cookies/brownies, peanuts, raisins, crackers

Hi Diane,
ReplyDeleteYum, your meals sound delicious! Enjoy that pizza tonight. Not having to cook will be a treat for you, I'm guessing.
I see pesto pizza on your menu. How do you make that? Do you use the pesto as the sauce?
ReplyDeleteI've been making a lot of pesto and freezing it recently with more basil to pick. Pesto pizza sounds interesting.
Hi Live and Learn,
DeleteYes, I used pesto as the pizza sauce. I wasn't bowled over with it, though. I didn't think it had enough flavor. I think I like pesto as a sandwich spread in place of mayo better.
You are lucky to have so much basil. It's always been hard for me to grow, here. Enjoy your bounty!
