Manic Monday ~ Dinner, Snack & Something Sweet

As you may have noticed lately I’ve been cutting down on calories and fat in all meals.  I’ve found some amazing sites that have helped and things that have been hits with the boys too!

First off was a great snack that was so yummy!  Super Healthy Kids Blog posted this great way to get kids to eat their veggies and love it Smile.

Stuffed Zucchini Pizza Boats

<p>These were so yummy and you didn&#8217;t need any meat to make them filling!</p>

See Stuffed Zucchini Pizza Boats on Key Ingredient.

My boys LOVE chicken strips and instead of giving them ones that are fried and full of grease I’m finding new ones that the boys love.  This recipe I actually saw being made on THE TALK by Rocco DiSpirito.  This Chicken Amandine was great!

And for something yummy and fruity!  Well you have to try this recipe, it was originally a Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins recipe but since I used the ONE and only tin I had for the recipe above so this became bread instead Smile.

Happy Monday, I think I may go lie down now … hehe!  Busy Busy Weekend Cole’s party & Easter … I thought my head might explode but thankfully (I guess) it’s still there Smile.
