Isa and my lunch

 

Isadora loves to eat out of her Tupperware. I love it too because she eats more variety and quantity.

Here we have leftover beans and rice from two nights ago, stawberries, grapes, cheese and saladas. Saladas are the only biscuit she will eat at the moment as Ninny and Poppy always have them and we have spent 2 weeks there.

My lunch is a little less exciting.

 

Tuna. cheese, cucumber and "Italian mixed lettuce" on pumpkin and quinoa bread. Helgas has become all fancy!!! 

I used to always have tuna sandwiches, but a recent visit to Stevie's house reinvigorted my passion!!! Isa loved them too, so another lunch option for her too.

 

...and now we are 4

Our gorgeous little Maya was finally born in a mad dash of 2 hours...and now we are 4. It is so amazing to have two little girls in your arms. Even more amazing how much Maya looks like Isadora did when she was a wee one. 

So now we need to be even more inventive in the way we eat a) to have food ready with a house full of little people b) prepare food when you have had 4 hours of broken sleep a night c) prepare nutritious meals that a toddler will also eat!!! Kind of frightening really!!! 

For lunch we had a picnic in a Moroccan inspired tent...well really just a cubby house. 

And then tonight we had a pretty throw together meal of tuna sauteed with eggplant, chickpeas, broccoli and tomatoes a long with fried polenta.

I love chickpeas. Actually I love legumes too.

What are you having for dinner tomorrow night? I think we will have black beans a la Brasileiro with some meat off cuts and salad and rice.

Also who here orders their food online? I am going to have to start doing this. Too hard with two kids shopping. I have hubby for a few weeks of leave but still think I may endeavour to order online. I don't love Coles/Woolies produce much, not the freshest, so am thinking to use someone a bit more local like Vegies to your door.

Lucky lunch with the hubby

Love it when Marco is home for lunch and in the mood for cooking. He loves savoury pancakes a la Brasileiro style. We used the leftover mince from last night's dinner with mozzarella cheese wrapped in a delicious crepe like pancake. Salad on the side and chopped up sushi style for Isadora, everybody's happy!
