Thursday Meals, 13 Sept 2018

Bento box prepared yesterday night for Alycia's 10 a.m. breakfast in school today (Friday):

Cold cha soba seasoned with sesame seed oil, organic soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds; organic cherry tomatoes; stir-fried traffic light colors bell peppers with brocolli and garlic. I thought that this would be too healthy and bland for Alycia but to my surprise, she came home today and told me that the noodles still tasted good when she ate them in school this morning.



Dinner kept for the Dancing Queen last night:


Mondays and Thursdays are dance rehearsal nights and she only gets to eat her dinner at 9:40 p.m.!
We had braised pork ribs with 'tau cheong' and kaffir lime leaves, blanched lady's fingers and sauteed brocolli with traffic light colors bell peppers.

I 💓 the glorious kaleidoscope of colours in this meal!  Colorful foods are good for you, naturally colored ones that is and  not artificially derived from.



Breakfast for Cass yesterday at 5:30 a.m. before school was vermicelli in prawn shells and anchovies soup with beef balls and mustard greens.

This is Cass' kind of breakfast now, something that's slightly salty or savoury. She's grossly sick of having buns, bread and pastries for breakfast or recess now. So I keep a very small portion of what we have for dinner for her breakfast the next day 😐
