As all moms do, I'm always trying to sneak healthier versions of Nathan's favs into his diet. He wanted a
burger for lunch today, so I talked him into
thin slices of steak (much leaner, and a much more modest serving than a
burger), sauteed and served on a
whole-grain bun with
ketchup and
pickles. Alongside a
fresh peach, not a bad lunch at all. Plus - the key! - he loved it. Ditto the
pizza he wanted tonight. I pitched
grilled "calzones" of a sort -
whole-grain pita, split and filled with
tomato sauce, cheese, and a few
pepperonis, coated with a quick spritz of nonstick
olive oil spray, and grilled (on the grill) until crisp and melty. Alongside a pile of
fresh strawberries, another winner - yesss! I made them for myself and John as well, but filled ours with lots of
green pepper and
onion slices. Yummy, filling, and quick - important on this night, the last night of the regular baseball season.
Wowzers it flew by! Some tournament play over the weekend and then dang, we're all done. Sniff.
