Burritos

Burritos are one of the food traditions I grew up with. This is a great Mom meal as it is fast, easy, the kids will eat it, and I happen to like them too. We had these lots growing up, and now as a mother I fully appreciate the beauty of the burrito. I haven't made them in a long while and really have not been taking advantage of this great meal. Don't fear we are now, and we are making up for lost time. Both Andrew and Lexie ate two for lunch yesterday. Don't worry Jess it was with the small corn tortillas not the giant flour ones. Add this dish to your lunch repertoire. It is a good one!

Meal Time

As a mother, meal time is possibly the worst time of the day. It seems just as you have finished or mostly finished cleaning up from the previous meal it is time to start the whole process again. Like the washer, the dishwasher could be continuously running in homes with little ones. I know it is the time and season and all to soon the season will pass and I will miss it, even long for it. This being said there are some days I just wish we didn't have to eat. Another point along these lines, if you fix a delicious well balanced meal they won't touch it. Peanut butter and Jelly, or a nasty hot dog, they will gobble that up. I know it is just kids and this is the way it is, but sometimes it is all a bit tiring. Well the dinner bell is ringing so I'll be off.

p.s. The picture really says it all. I mean really who gets that messy eating peanut butter and jelly? In the 8 months since the picture was taken the table manners have not improved, not for lack of trying.

Today for lunch...

Today for lunch I had corn on the cob and watermelon:

Two points for Texas, I've never had summer veggies this early. I do love summer produce. It was delicious.
