Organic Spaghetti and More Breakfast

So....we had a bit of a rough (healthy eating wise) weekend. All of us were out of the house quite a bit. SOMEONE didn't grocery shop until Tuesday. So we had to make do with what we could scrounge up around the house or - ew - fast food.

We did make organic whole wheat spaghetti and green beans on Monday. Even the sauce was organic. Spaghetti is always a big hit with the kids.

I really want to try and make my own pasta soon. What I really want is a pasta attachment for the KitchenAid mixer, but those are expensive.

Tuesday's dinner was a Big Mac. That's all we need to say about that.

And last night - Wednesday Breakfast!

Nathan once again made delicious pancakes. He adds vanilla to the batter and they are seriously so good. I don't even really like pancakes, but look at those! Aren't those the prettiest pancakes you have ever seen?

I made scrambled eggs with greek yogurt (seriously, if you haven't tried this yet, do it. It makes the BEST, fluffiest eggs)  As a guide, I did 8 eggs and then used a spoon and just scooped out a mid-sized dollup of plain greek yogurt. Whisk them together, cook them on a low heat setting on the stove, and voila. Yummy eggs. (That picture is of all 8 eggs, not what I ate myself.)

We also had some beautiful fruit. Having fresh fruit in the house is still working out great. The kids are always (ALWAYS) asking for oranges, or apples. This morning I found Ophelia on the couch with the giant container of blueberries having a snack. A slightly messy, but HEALTHY snack. We also made toast with our homemade whole wheat bread! You can see it in the background of the pancake picture.
