Spagehtti - My Easy Staple

TGIF that's ALL I have to say. I'm exhausted. I have a fellowship this year that pays me to bring "real world" (ie. laboratory) science into k-12 classrooms and this week I was at a k-4 primary academy 8 hours a day. I had a really great time but holy Moses am I EXHAUSTED! I usually work all day long but there's a huge difference in being by myself, in a lab, getting something done and trying to entertain 25 kids ages 5-10 all day long.

Anyways, after doing that and then running errands this afternoon I wanted something easy. So we did pesto-marinara spaghetti with a mozzarella, tomato, and basil salad.

Soup & Bread

Soup out of crockpot and bread from bread machine - that's what this sick and tired mother fed her young.

Recipe:

Stewed tomatoes
stew meat
bag of frozen mixed veggies
garlic
seasonings of your choice

Dump meat in crock pot and let it cook. Drain fat and then dump in other ingredients. Let it cook all day.

Tomato Pasta

Tali can't seem to connect to blogger and hopes the issue is resolved by tomorrow night; however, she had tomato pasta tonight and wanted to have me post it for her.

Salmon, Veggies & Rice

We had salmon baked in the oven and seasoned with lemon pepper and lemon juice, rice, and steamed veggies.

I liked it but I was the only one. The girls wouldn't taste it. Cate's sick so I really just wanted her to eat the rice. Emma wouldn't even taste the salmon. The husband said he doesn't care much for baked fish and proceeded to dump soy sauce all over the veggies and the rice. I think they got spoiled after last night's dinner and thumbed their noses at this healthy stuff.
