Mean Green

My girls absolutely love eating fruits and vegetables. So today I wanted to do something simple for lunch. Today's lunch was a garden salad with watermelon and a blueberry muffin.

Nothing fancy, but this is actually something that my girls can eat everyday. When we are at a restaurant, my younger daughter usually requests a Caesar salad rather than chicken strips, cheeseburgers, etc.

The tomatoes were from our vegetable garden that is slowly deteriorating. We have basil, parsley, pumpkins, and cucumbers. The cuccumbers and pumpkins are extremely sensitive. I think next year I will try to plant them in a container so that I can control the water from getting on their leaves. When you get water on the leaves of pumpkins or cuccumbers, they mold. Hopefully I can save some of the plants I have now from dying when it starts to get cooler outside. I just have to figure out where I can store them inside the house without my husband feeling like I'm turning the house into a greenhouse lol.

Well we are off to soccer practice and the family picnic at school. Til next time...
