Dinner tonight was the 6 lb ham I bought last week. I baked it, steamed the last of our brown rice, and warmed up some green giant steamer packets (rice, I know, peas, mushrooms, and gravy). The brown rice was a lurker, and so was the green giant steamer packs. They are gone, and I will keep adjusting our frozen veggie intake to increase use of those lurker items.
The ham will be sliced and packaged for another meal. The bone will be made into bean soup at some point.

Summer vacation with the children....
Well, it's that time of the year...summer vacation. The kids are out of school. They are tired, crabby, and hungry. My kids asked this morning if we could go to McDonalds, Chick Fil A, and Chipotle....and it's only a few minutes past one in the afternoon.
We had breakfast this AM.
Two egg omelettes with colby cheese, and deli meat ends (ham diced up).
I need to keep up in the kitchen or else they will eat everything in sight and still ask to go out. Any thoughts??

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda, set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, confectioners sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg whites and egg yolks, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
