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.Posts for June 19th 2007
