Day 1: Caprese salad chicken kabobs: skewered bites of chicken tenders, diced yellow tomato (from our garden) and fresh mozzarella cheese. Baby carrots. Served with homemade roasted garlic balsamic dressing*. Fruit smoothie. Stella helped make her first meal. She even picked out the carrots from the store.
*This dressing is Stella's version of ketchup. Most kids dip everything in ketchup, but she dips everything in this. Well this & mustard. They are a pretty close tie. This is pretty much all we eat on our salads. In fact if we do eat out & I get homemade ranch she'll argue with me that it's not dressing because it doesn't look like what she's used to. She drinks whatever is leftover & will put a plate/bowl up to her head to lick it off. We make it in the mini food processor & it's so good. This dressing will make many appearances in the future.
Day 2: Kale and mozzarella chicken burger (pre-packaged from Costco) served with dressing, Rice Works rice snack and cup of pears (pre-packaged).
Day 3: Turkey roll-up: small tortilla with mustard, shredded cheddar, spinach leaves and slice of turkey. Skewered onto toothpicks. Served with pretzels, half a Granny Smith apple, sliced with cream cheese fruit dip. I do not typically purchase this, but it was bought for a housewarming party and never opened and I ended up with this.
Day 4: Kale and mozzarella chicken burger (they come two to a pack), served with dressing, Pirates Booty & a homemade fruit cocktail cup (grapes, berries & mangoes in an 8 oz glass mason jar which is frozen, then taken out the night before & placed in the fridge to thaw out).
Day 5: Leftover burger slider (from restaurant the night before), served with carrots & dressing, mix of pretzels & Goldfish, tropical fruit cup (pre-packaged).
Day 6: Peanut butter & strawberry "quesadilla". I basically spread crunchy peanut butter on two tortillas, thinly sliced three strawberries, pressed together & sliced into quarters with a pizza slicer. I served it with Babybel cheese, veggies straws & a pear cup (pre-packaged).
Day 7: Turkey burger (no bun) with mustard & pickle spear, veggie straws and green smoothie (peaches, strawberries, banana, spinach, protein powder & almond milk).
Day 8: Ham and cheddar skewers, pretzel & Goldfish mix, grapes.
Day 9: rotisserie chicken, carrots with dressing, Babybel cheese, Rice Works rice snack, peach fruit cup (pre-packages).

That's it for lunches this month. She technically did one day in August (her very first day), then with Labor Day (out) and two sick days, plus this week (the rest of September) is Fall break, so September is done.
