Now I realize that we will never be free of wake up calls in the night, what I'm referring to is my eldest child's habit of waking us up once a night and demanding a drink...so far we have managed 3 yes count em 3 nights in a row without her waking! This has been a blessed relief for mother who after 16 months of interrupted sleep has finally gotten some rest. Now whether or not we can continue with this trend remains to be seen but I'm praying!
Continued today with the healthy breakfast and lunch dinner tonight was pork with grapes and onions. I have to admit to enjoying dinner tremendously although the girls were a bit picky about the kale, small shame there but I could always add a smoked wing to it next time as I know they love that. I actually used thin cut pork chops and put them under the broiler instead of pan frying to reduce the fat on it although in retrospect I could have still done them in the pan and just used the spray. Either way yum!
My husbands comments were kale isn't my favorite vegetable but I'll eat it anyway and he did like the onion and grape topping. I'm on a mission to say the least I'm very tempted to try to find recipes that include chard as I've not really had that or cooked that before either, but with the weather turning warmer I'm going to be looking for summer fare rather than the winter staples. I'm going to make the shopping day a fish day (chicken for James) and will continue with the fruit.
