5 stringless sugar snap peas, chopped

9 organic seasoned croutons that are not made with an enriched flour (To make your own croutons, see my Homemade Croutons recipe. The brand of premade croutons I buy is found in the produce section at my grocery store.)

1 small banana
1 graham cracker square that is not made with an enriched flour
aerosol whipped cream

What I Make

Mac and Cheese with Ham and Peas

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1/8 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced ham (I like to use a fully cooked hickory smoked ham steak. According to the package directions, it can be heated up in the microwave in a covered dish with 1/4 cup water for 4 minutes. If your grocery store doesn’t sell that, any cooked ham will work.)
1 serving size frozen macaroni and cheese, preferably organic

Directions:
Put frozen peas and cooked ham in a bowl. Microwave macaroni and cheese according to package directions. When done, put piping hot macaroni and cheese into the bowl with the peas and ham. Stir to combine. Have with a glass of water.
