E2 - 28 Day Challenge - Day 6

On The Menu:
Breakfast:Breakfast Tacos
Lunch: Burgers w/ Sweet Potato Fries
Dinner: Starter Salad, Lynn's Meatloaf, & steamed broccoli

What We Actually Ate:
Breakfast: Breakfast Tacos
Lunch: At Grandy's (my mom's)
Dinner: Chipotle

My Thoughts:
The breakfast tacos were super easy. Just some hashbrown potatoes and some veggie breakfast sausage patties wrapped in a corn tortilla. You could probably have used some egg substitute or grilled up some veggies to go in it but I just topped mine with some salsa and called it good. The kids really like these.

We go to my mom's house most Fridays and this week was no exception. She made a fantastic spread of fruit and veggies, guacamole, hummus, & a white bean dip with some whole grain tortillas she baked up into tasty chips.

Since Graham had the day off because of the holiday we spent to afternoon running errands so dinner out was thrown into our plans. Graham and I had the vegetarian burritos with guac. Graham added the grilled veggies to his. I just went straight-up black beans and brown rice. The kids, once again, had a difficult time finding something to eat, but they stuck with it and got their own veggie tacos. And didn't eat half of them. They did eat the beans and rice and some chips. Chelsea, who doesn't like Chipotle under normal circumstances, just had a bowl of rice. :(

Graham was a little concerned that the kids aren't eating. Maybe they aren't getting enough nutrients. Part of me thinks if they'd just try some of it they'd like it. They are eating a lot of fruit, which causes other issues, but in all honesty I think they'd just prefer Halloween candy.
