The Weet-Bix Challenge

My youngest son Edward requested that I buy more Weet-Bix today. Why? was my reply because we simply cannot run out. I love Weet-Bix Mum and with that it set my mind ticking, how many Weet-Bix does my family eat per week. Edward eats 9 a day, 3 at breakfast, 3 after school and 3 before he goes to sleep. Will has 3 for breakfast and then again at afternoon  tea, that's 6 per day and Chris has about 2 a day, that brings the grand total up to 119 Weet-Bix per week. That to me seems like an extraordinary amount. No wonder I can't keep the cupboards full. Does anyone out there consume that many Weet-Bix?.
Should I be cutting my families supply down or better still I should buy shares in Sanitarium. Costco here I come.

Will has also come home sporting a very swollen nose from school today, lets hope its not broken!.This is one of my "speedy dinner's" on the table in 30 minutes.


Dinner tonight:

Beef Stir fry served with Jasmine rice.

This meal is completely Gluten Free also.

Fillet steak sliced ( as much as you like) this also works equally well with chicken or pork

1 Purple onion

2 Carrots small ,sliced into sticks

1 Bunch baby Broccoli

1 Red Capsicum

1 bunch of Beans

1 bunch of Bok Choy

2 small Zucchini sliced thinly

Olive oil

Sauce:

1/4 cup of Gluten Free Soy

3 tablespoons of Yeo's Satay sauce

Sweet Chili Sauce ( gluten free) a generous splash

To serve:

Steamed Jasmine rice and sprinkle with fried shallots.

Heat the wok til very hot, add a small amount of oil, then add sliced veges starting with 1/2 the onion, then carrot broccoli, beans, capsicum and zucchini. Stir fry til a little golden then remove from pan. Allow pan to get hot again and add the meat and remaining onion and fry til the meat is golden then return the vegetables and add the finely sliced bok choy. Add 1/4 cup of Gluten free soy sauce, a generous splash of sweet chili sauce and  3 tablespoons of  Yeo's gluten free Satay Sauce. Stir through well and the sauce will slightly thicken and serve on steamed Jasmine rice and I always sprinkle over Fried Shallots, ( the packaged ones from the Asian shops, they add a nice crunch). I use a lot of veges as it is the only time my boys will eat them willingly.
