Spring Break And a preview of The store aisles

The girls are on spring break this week :)

I had Jerry pick up some food coloring so we could color some eggs. We eat hard boiled eggs for snack anyway. So Jerry will be eating pink/purple eggs at work...LOL

Thought it would be fun, and keep them busy. We may plant a herb garden in the window also. Patience has planted some parsley and it is growing so nicely. I want to teach her the beauty of growing your own herbs and using them in recipes. I used some of her parsely for a dish and she had the biggest smile. And we will probally get a topsy tervy for Tomatos for her to do.

And about the store aisle,,,If you go to the store this is what you would see. A nightmare for a child with a insulin problem.

Thankfully Patience goes straight for the little dolls, bubbles, books, pens, Easter clothes. As I go along I am slowly getting little trinkets
For the basket. We have decided to maybe put a few pieces of sugar free candy but no big bunny.

Patience loves clothes... and loves to collect different flip flops. So im not to concerned she will be disappointed. It has become a second nature to her now.

Mock Mac and cheese

Cauliflower cooked or steamed, after cooked chop to resemble mac noodles, Add  2Tablespons of Mayo, 2 Teaspoon of mustard,(small amount of butter)
Monterrey jack cheese and cheddar, and Little grated Parmesan cheese on top and put under broiler till top is browned.  I never have been crazy about mac and cheese but Patience and Jerry love it. And we all loved this. Just a small replacement that saved our family the calories.

At a later time i will post a photo of mock potato salad, very close to this recipe. Using Cauliflower also.
We always explain to Patience not every mac and cheese is good for her and we used veggies to make it. So she will not be confused. Kids adapt so much easier than adults. :)
