 I can't believe it is Sunday again.  For lunch we had sandwiches again.  This is a hard tradition to break.  I use to stress about a warm meal right when we get home from church.  Within the last 4 yrs or so we switched to sandwiches when we get home and a hot meal for dinner.  This works great for our family.  It has cut down on so much contention and stress because everyone was hungry and grumpy otherwise.  We bought sandwich meat with out the nitrates and other harmful additives. I also made everyone put alfalfa sprouts to their sandwiches instead of lettuce ( everyone but the teenager that wouldn't do it).  We snacked on Raw veggies and fruit along with a few pretzels.

We had an extra 3 people here for dinner tonight and we had Eggplant Parmesan on Gluten free angel hair pasta.  It was really yummy.  Everyone enjoyed it and Savannah and Zachary even asked for more.  The best part about it was that the Eggplant was $1.49 and fed all of us with a little bit left over.  The chicken was bought on sale for 1/2 price and it was still $7.40 and wouldn't have fed all of us. For dessert I made the Strawberries from the other day.  I decided to make a Gluten Free / Dairy Free loaf of Banana Bread for breakfast for the kids tomorrow.  As you can see, when it came out of the oven half of it was gone before I could even snap a picture.  It really was AMAZING!   I added cinnamon and nutmeg and it smelt so good.
