We have been such a busy little family lately. My son just celebrated his 14th birthday (how can this be?). His grade 8 graduation is coming up. My daughter has her dance recital this week (two nights). Then there's the usual - appointments, laundry, cleaning bathrooms, grocery shopping, blogging and freelance writing - to fit in. Plus, every spare moment my husband and I have been planting flowers (him planting, me pointing) and spray painting our outdoor furniture. (We let it all get shabby at once.) We are imagining that there might be a day or two when we actually get to sit outside and enjoy our yard. Ha.
All this is to say, sometimes cooking falls by the wayside. On the weekend there was a pizza party - what else do you feed teenage boys at a birthday celebration? And then we took my son shoe shopping and to dinner (veggie burgers, fries and pop at Harvey's). I tried to ensure there were some healthy eats too - I gave the boys watermelon with their pizza and fruit and homemade banana muffins with their breakfast, for example. But nothing too strenuous to prepare.
