Rethinking Thanksgiving dinner.

School lunch day 15: pan fried pork loin with orzo pasta and cucumber in brine. Apple for the younger one, peach for the older, and the usual this and that.. The food was dinner leftover, and my hubby was the chef per my request while I was attending the Back to school night.

School lunch day 14: the older one got some stuffed cabbage leftover with sour cream, the younger udon noodles with cottage cheese and sour cream. Snacks the same: peach sliced, fruit pouch, mozzarella, fruits strips, and nuts.

School lunch day 13 (its Friday!).. I think I should've packed a black cat. Cheese quesadillas with salsa, guacamole, hummus, with some carrots, grapes and mozzarella. My only disappointment is that I don't have a proper Thermos to keep the quesadillas warm, so I wrap them in foil before packing them in a box, and keep fingers crossed they are still delicious, even if they are not too warm anymore.

School lunch day 12: gnocchi with feta and bacon. I had to step up the snacks today as the freshman will be in the band room until 5, so he got some sandwich thins with sausage, grapes, apple, mozzarella bites, fruit punch and a cocoa. The gnocchi was planned to go with poppy seeds and sugar, but my poppy seed grind got bitter in the box and had to give up on the idea. Luckily I had fried bacon from the. BLT sandwich from yesterday (which was their breakfast as well) , and with a bit of feta it saved my morning.
