Ok, so here's one of the items from the lunches I was writing about. I figured I better go ahead and post some photographic proof after my rave review. This pig was an entree in the boys' lunch on Tuesday. Sara made an extra one for Bodie, so I actually got to see one in broad daylight before it was packed into a lunchbox! Normally I only get to see the tattered remains of what Sara created, after G and G get home from school and I rummage through their uneatens for a quick snack.

Looks like I'll be doing a whole lot of baking this week. Much more than is the norm for me. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be in the 70's all week, instead of the crisp weather we should be having this time of year. Especially since the oven will be pumping out the heat and there is clam chowder on the menu!

The last menu plan I put together was just... s [...]

Martha's Vineyard Clam Chowder

I was never a fan of clam chowder until I visited Martha's Vineyard as a teenager and bought a styrofoam cup of it from a street vendor on a chilly morning. Wow, did it hit the spot!

I wouldn't make [...]
