Pulp, Peas, Casseroles

Orange juice with pulp. I bought it at the food store for the first time in a long while. The girls growing up did not like pulp in their juice. But they are out of the house now, so we (Dolores & I) can have the kind of juice we want.

The girls did not like peas so we had broccoli, green beans, carrots, cauliflower and salad. A good variety. But peas are now back in the house and made the chicken pot pie taste real good.

Casseroles, food mixed together did not happen too often. The girls did like lasagna but that doesn't quite qualify as a casserole does it?

Anyway, there are just a few of the little things that have changed now that we are an 'empty nest' (at least until the holidays).

They are little things. We did not make a big deal of it. We still had juice, we still had vegetables, we still had good solid healthy meals. The girls are healthy and doing well in school so we can revert to some of the "old ways" we used to do things as a couple before kids.

Did you make any changes like this for your kids?



Updated - Another one was meatloaf, I just remembered. Of course, it helped to have it for supper tonight.
