5+ a Day Challenge: Day 4

It's been a struggle to eat right today, with 33 teenagers in the capital city, Wellington. Admittedly, it's the coolest little capital in the world. We hiked all over the city, having a blast.

Breakfast
- blt bagel - sans bacon
- hash brown
- hot choccy (yup, maccas)

Lunch
- tank juice (apple, orange, pineapple)
- 2 slices of the best marguerita pizza ever!

Snacks
- cookie
- Scroggin

Dinner
- Kumara soup (though the husband got takeaways.

5 portions - I'm not counting the hashbrown as a portion, nor the tomato on the pizza, which was made fresh. So wonderful. I also bought new bento stuff... I'm so bad!



But this is cool... Chard or silver beet growing outside the train station. Community food looking gorgeous! That's Ghandi in the back!





Plans are afoot for a better day tomorrow.

5+ a Day Challenge: Monday

Well, I made it through one day. And I am pleased so far. While I still wanted to eat deep fried, high sugary goodness in amidst assessing the end of terms work, I didn't.

Breakfast
1 serving peaches
Special K

Lunch
Lasagne (vegetarian) 1 vege serving
Kiwi fruit
Mandarin

Snacks
Mixed nuts
Cheese and crackers

Dinner
Mushroom and Leek soup 1 vege serving.



I'm being fairly tight on the soup and lasagne, just to be fair. The soup has loads of mushrooms that evidently count as vege, but I've kept it conservative.

Tomorrow I shall attempt a banana!

Lunch... a recurring theme

Well, lunch has been soup for AGES now. And I loves it.

The food tech teacher has been making mass loads of soup for everyone, which is not only incredibly sweet, but delicious! And I have taken to making a load of soup. In particular, the Kumara (sweet potato) and Leek soup has been a genius moment.

Today was more Kumara and Leek soup, with a bread roll, gingerbread muffin (recipe to follow at some point), mandarin, kiwi fruit, nuts and dried bananas. The soup in a flask is barely visible... But delicious.


And here is the basket of cups returning o school after being washed in preparation for the next soup day.
