Today we have quite the day ahead of us so I want to make sure that we have lots of good quality food to fuel us. Jaxson has his first solo swimming lesson so it is quite the exciting day. Also Facebook memories needs to stop because all it does is remind me that I have been on vacation within the last couple weeks for the last several years, and I am currently not. Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, sigh, I could really go for a hot tropical vacation. I suppose it is okay because I did go to Montreal in January and although Kelowna was the worst that was also a trip.

Anyway, back to food, does anyone else feed there kids 2 breakfasts? Jaxson has 2 breakfasts every day its hilarious. Jesse wakes up before I do because he needs to get ready for work so he usually is up first thing with the kids while I sleep for a bit more (momma needs her sleep). He will usually give the kids toast and fruit and Ash of course gets his bottle. Then I will make them a second breakfast usually around 9:30 or 10. Today is no different.

Jesse made the boys toast and strawberries for their first breakfast. Ash also had his bottle. During Ash’s first nap of the day I made Jaxson’s second breakfast. He got turkey bacon, yogurt and a banana. For lunch I made the boys little mini charcuteries. It’s one of my favourite go to lunches that I make because it’s easy and also nutritious and delicious. Jaxson got grape tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumbers, Babybel, some crackers and some roasted turkey breast deli meat. It’s basically like a Lunchables but way healthier. Then Ash got some little pieces of cucumber, turkey and Babybel with a Love Childs Organic pear purée pouch. Now off to swimming lessons!

For snacks today Ash is having Baby Mum Mum sweet potato and carrot rice rusks and baby puffs strawberry and apple flavoured. Jaxson is having goldfish, grapes and a juicebox.

For supper tonight I made some cauliflower tots and heated up leftovers. Jaxson had cauliflower tots, rice, broccoli and Korean fried “beef.” Asher had cauliflower tots, rice and a little bit of the “beef” and puréed pears. After for dessert I made a special little surprise for the boys, a heart shaped brownie that I had planned to make for Valentine’s Day but there wasn’t any time. It was really easy to make and came pre packaged already, I just had to pop it in the oven for 15 minutes and now I get a cute little cast iron heart shaped skillet forever. The boys will share the brownie and Jaxson will have some grapes later for a snack. That about wraps up today’s meals. I will tell you though that there literally isn’t anything more satisfying than cooking for my boys and hearing them say “yum” while eating. That just warms my cold little black heart.
