Corned beef hash and green beans

I was bored and wanted to see if I could shape corned beef hash. I tried packing an egg mold super tight and it did not work. Next I tried packing it into a cookie cutter. The first one came out pretty well but the second, not so much.

Lunch was corned beef hash, green beans, and I did add a cookie for desert later.

Mac and Cheese with Hot Dog Face

Yes, I still toss frozen veggies in the lunch. I know The Elder is going to microwave it, so I decided there was no point in cooking his green beans before I put them in the lunch. Everything is refrigerated all night and then at work. Like the background? Lazy. Yes, I am very lazy. I just wanted to go to bed.

Our little friend is made up of homemade mac and cheese. It really is pretty easy to make. The eyes are made from two olives stuffed with 2 green beans. The eyebrows, nose, mouth (I think it looks like a cigar in this picture) and his "shirt top" are made from a leftover Hebrew National hot dog. Mmm.. leftovers! To the left of that we have two turtles and some frozen green beans.

Mini meatloaf monster

Well, someone is still use to those nifty microwave meals. So sandwiches just won't do. I still had some left over ground beef from the squid, so I decided to make a meatloaf. You know, it is surprising what yummy and healthy things you can fit into a meatloaf. You can add rolled oats, puree of spinach and a little carrot and even your most picky eater will not notice if you do it right. That is what I did with my little meatloaf. Then I added a topping of BBQ sauce and brown sugar. The eyes are made from carrot and a small piece of ham.

By request I also have pan fried and seasoned potatoes. Those are always a huge hit with the Elder. For sides we have green beans and sweet potato.

Soccer Practice Night

I have a class on some soccer practice nights. So I pack the minions into the car, give them dinner, drive up to the college, trade cars with the Elder (cause I have a minivan and he has a car. His car will not work with 4 minions in car seats) and then I go to class and he to soccer practice.

Tonight they had leftover rice a roni (I needed to use it to get that crud out of my house), left over pork balls in orange glaze, steamed whole baby carrots, and green beans. In the little container off to the side there I mixed crushed pineapple and cottage cheese. Below this is The Elders meal. Notice his has a little less variety. That's because he is not a fan of semi healthy food.
