Rain, Rain, Go Away...

...Come again another Day...
AJ wants to go to camp to play!

Preschool camp was postponed twice this week, so I have no lunches to display. Nor do I have many food photos, it's been so crazy around here with 4 kids and various birthdays; Maia has been acting colicky and Dada's been quite busy.

Tuesday:
We tried to
limit our
farm share
this week
due to last
week's
overload.
The berries
were too
enticing,
but we
avoided
much of
the pick-
your-own
just to give
me a week
to catch up.

Lettuce, cucumbers, bell peppers, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes, 1 large tomato, scallions, 1 pint blueberries, yellow onions, 5lb mix of carrots/eggplant/purple peppers/summer squashes, corn on the cob.

AJ has been making
letters out of just
about anything lately,
including produce.

And I just have to
sneak in a few pics
of Maia too!


























Friday:

We celebrated Dada's
birthday with his
favourite vanilla
cupcakes (topped with
farm strawberries I
had frozen in the spring).

The boys loved having our favourite dip & chips for lunch.

6 Layer Bean Dip

1 can refried beans +
1/4-1/3 cup water,
mixed until smooth
3/4-1 cup guacamole
(or 2 mashed ripe
avocados)
3/4-1 cup sour cream
(I like using Tofutti
Better Than Sour Cream,
their non-hydrogenated
version)
1/4-1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
3 diced tomatoes
3-4 sliced scallions

In a 9x9" glass baking dish (or other similar-sized serving dish), layer all ingredients from first to last.
For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of taco seasoning to the sour cream and mix well.
