Breakfast

Breakfast for Patience           Oatmeal 1/2 cup
Breakfast for Jerry                 Oatmeal  Bowl
Breakfast for me            Whey Protein Shake with fruit



When I say oatmeal, I mean either steele cut oats or Plain oatmeal. Packaged oatmeal has tons of things in it that really is not healthy. We add cinnamon in it for her and agvae nectar or stevia, for sweetnesss.Patience loves oatmeal.The oatmeal is usually enough for Patience but if she wanted Jerry will fix her a couple slices of Turkey Bacon Along with her oatmeal or add blueberries.


Snack
Patience - Green apple
Jerry- Green apple
Me- Green apple

Ok lets face it, Food costs alot. We try to eat as natural as possible.  (on a Budget) Patience is content with her apple and I have no guilt. We never ask her to eat something we do not eat ourselves.

She is so healthy, she makes me proud. She will take a water with her apple for snack to school. On Average she is drinking 3 Water bottle daily.
Jerry is drinking 150, Me- 130
Staying clear of soda's and sweet drinks. We love water :)

LUNCH
Patience- Tuna Sandwitch, On whole Wheat, with a fruit. I haven't went grocery shopping yet. So she wanted another apple instead of a orange. A sandwitch with fruit is always a typical lunch for Patience. We switch it up to a whole wheat wrap, or soup sometimes. But most of the time that is her lunch. (Chips, cookies, candy, Imo are just Junk food.)
I'm not cutting anyone down that puts that in their children's lunch. ( Remember I have two other children who can very well eat those things and not gain weight.) But for Patience we really try to stay clear. There have been times on speical days. I will put a sugar free cookie. ( so she does not feel left out.) But most of the time
Sandwitch/fruit
Soup/fruit/ whole wheat cracker
Salad with veggies and grilled chicken and a fruit

Dinner
Shredded Cabbage, chopped celery, chopped carrots, in olive oil About 2 or 3 Tablespoon. Stir fried.
You could add Stir fry seasoning, not the whole package or mix your own: garlic, cummin, onion.

The Taste is excactly like Stir fried rice. Patience loves this dish.
