Good morning. This is everything I'm feeding my family today. Whenever I make them oatmeal, I always crack an egg in there, add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, whisk it till smooth. You can't tell the difference, you can't taste it. And it just makes it super creamy. Now just add the oats. Now just add the oats. See how creamy that is. Breakfast 8:30 AM: brownie batter oatmeal SNACK 10:30 AM: kefir It's been a few hours since breakfast and that they want a snack. I'm gonna keep it really simple. Just pour them each a glass of kefir. One thing I did when they were really little is have them drink this so they're really used to the taste. They love it. This is such a great source of probiotics, calcium, protein. So there's a lot of benefits. They're in their bedroom. I usually don't like them eating or drinking in their bedrooms, but with Amir's fracture, we've been really lax with the rules. LUNCH 1:00 PM one-pan chicken fried rice Here it is at lunchtime already. I'm gonna make chicken fried rice. Season it with a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, some black pepper. Alright, mix that in and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I'm gonna add a couple of cups of frozen veggies. Frozen veggies are just as nutritious. If not more nutritious than fresh just because they are picked and frozen at peak ripeness. SNACK 3:00 PM balanced snack plates I'm gonna make them a quick afternoon snack. They have music lessons in a little bit. I wanna get something in in between the meal, I'm gonna put a handful of almonds for each, a few dried apricots. I'm gonna give them each. One of these made good granola bites. For my daughter, I'll get her some cheese, she likes cheese. And my son does not like cheese. So I'll give him a chomps beef stick. I'll add them a few whole wheat crackers. This is the fruit punch I get them. This is made with 100% natural ingredients. There's no preservatives or artificial colors, which I like. So it's not like that neon colored fruit punch that you usually see. DINNER 8:00 PM air-fried salmon bites with carrot ribbon salad In the meantime, I'm gonna get dinner prepped. That way it's out of the way early and I can get the dishes on and put things away. Dinner I'm making air fried salmon bites. A spoonful of avocado Mayo to give them that crispy outer layer. garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. And for the side salad, I'm gonna make a carrot ribbon salad. Add in some green onion, one clove of garlic, rice vinegar, sesame seeds. Don't ask why I have so many sesame seeds, cause I honestly have no idea. Some sesame oil.
