Tomatoes!

My 5 year old was outside yesterday and she made a discovery. Our tomatoes finally turned red!!! So excited!

Oh happy day!!!

This lunch was made by dad! What a rock star!

Bagel with veggie cream cheese, cheddar sticks, canteloupe, and peanuts. 

Apples!

We went to visit our dear friend, Brother Lynn, and came home with a bag of apples! They are golden delicious and boy are they ever! So we made applesauce. I just used our handy dandy peeler, slicer, corer, put them in a pot with a splash of lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. I covered and simmered them for a few hours, then smashed them with a potatoe masher. Delicious! 

And Brother Lynn made me promise to make apple cinnamon pancakes. We made them late Saturday night, put them on a cookie sheet, covered them with plastic, and put them in the fridge. Then Sunday morning I scrambled some eggs, and reheated the sheet of pancakes in the oven for 10ish minutes. It was perfect! Saved lots of time and cleanup, plus I got to sit and eat with my family. Usually I am standing at the counter flipping pancakes. Success! I'll do it that way again. And of course, homemade syrup. 

Bagel with veggie cream cheese (my kids fave), quesadilla, homemade applesauce, ants on a log, pretzel/peanut/nutter butter mix.
