A Week of Food in Colors

I decided that along with my exercise I should post my meals. that way (maybe) I will feel the urge to have more color and healthy food added to our diet.
Monday, we had fish (tilapia), avocado, squash, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and peaches. I tried to have different colors in our meals, but I realized we have been missing red.

Aiden had a tomato shish kabob

Isabella enjoyed her squash so much she had a 2nd serving of them






Wednesday we had potatoes, corn and bean salad with avocado sauce, cantaloupe melon and peaches (yellow, orange, green and red)


 On Tuesday we had creamy tomato soup (orangy-RED), corn bread (yellow), and hot cocoa with sweet cream (brown and white).  I made the soup with fresh tomatoes and it doesn't have any cream or milk, healthy and delicious.



On Thursday we had honey mustard chicken, potatoes with sour cream and salsa, corn, bean and avocado salad with cherry tomatoes (yellow, red, green, and white). I know it all looks messy and not so appetizing, I had already began to eat so it was a little mixed in, especially the potatoes; they are smothered with sour cream and salsa, it tastes great (in my opinion) but its looks yucky. The chicken was very good, I added regular yellow mustard some honey and salt and pepper and cooked it just until no longer pink. It was so moist and tender the children ate them and Bella asked for more.
