Izzy's Meals of Thursday, February 22, 2012

You may notice the absence of meat in these meals.  I am a vegetarian, although the rest of my family eats meat, (lesser so in comparison to many).

• Breakfast:

For breakfast I ate a bowl of Multi Grain Cheerios (with half a banana), a piece of toast with natural peanut butter, and a cup of Earl Grey tea.  The bread is made locally, (Northfield Falls, VT).  The honey and milk I put in my tea are both products of Vermont.

•  Lunch:

Although I ate this meal at home over break, this is what I typically bring to school during the week, (hence, the smoothie in a jar).  For lunch I had a peanut butter granola wrap, along with a clementine and a smoothie.  My mom makes our granola, sweetening it with the maple syrup my family made last spring.  I made the smoothie using frozen strawberries from our garden, and organic yogurt also local (in Westfield, Vermont).

• Dinner:

This evening I ate a pasta dish with homemade pesto (from our own basil and garlic with Cabot cheese), broccoli, and sundried tomatoes.  With it I had garlic bread (baked at Stewart's bakery in Vermont), and a spinach salad with my mom's homemade vinaigrette.
