Cats + Piggies

this !

Mazen and I have been doing more watercolors. This is my portrait of the cat legend, Lillian Valentine. I had fun telling Mazen how she was his auntie cat in heaven. It’s too bad they never got to meet – they had similar strong personalities :mrgreen:

Mazen also had fun doing some digital art on Thomas’s work iPad (that came with the fancy pencil). This is Pennywise!!

Birchie’s animal interest continues to be Peppa Pig – and the Berenstain bears! I’ve had fun playing on the floor with him setting up little houses.

Here are some meals of late!

Breakfasts

Plenty Cville has its own version of a sheet pancake. And this was anything but flat as a pancake! Hers was doubly thick and filled with strawberries!

Years later, the end of a PB jar is still VERY exciting to me!! Filled with hot whipped banana oatmeal, blueberries, and granola on top! (Need more overripe banana ideas – check out Anne’s post: Healthy Recipes for Overripe Bananas!)

Thomas picked up some bagels from Bodos (the drive-thru!) and we had them all week for breakfast. So chewy!

Lunches

Sweet potato, beet + farro salad with Terra chips. (Remember those chips? I forgot about them but they went so well with the roasted beets and taters.)

Leftover tacos as a salad!

Dinners

Beer with a lime for taco night!

Our weekly spread –

We switched it up with guac and blue sheets 🙂

Luce Pasta is a new place that opened downtown just before downtown shut down. We ordered two pastas and a kale salad from them recently and it was DELISH! The kids loved them too.

And finally – Daily Harvest now has scoops!!

Three flavors inspired by vanilla, strawberry and mint, all made from coconut ice cream. Guys I am not a lover of non-dairy ice cream styles, and these are GOOD! Super slow-churned creamy and not the least bit icy. The flavors are awesome too. The vanilla sesame is sweetened with maple and tasted like caramelized sugar. I love the strawberry compote swirl too. As always, you can get $25 off your first order through my link.

    Ah. Love seeing both paintings and the little houses with Peppa and the bears. You are a family after my own heart…

    I forgot about the Berenstein Bears! I had all of their books as a kid. I loved them so much!

    I recently saw a recipe on Goop for making dairy-free ice cream with overripe bananas. I’m excited to try it on a hot day!

    I’ve started teaching myself watercolors during this shutdown time and really enjoy it. I watch YouTube videos – see this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1FQQAHPrI&t=331s. I painted a picture of our cat that turned out really well.

    Mazen is a good little artist, but OMG, did he watch “It”? I found the movie AND Pennywise terrifing!

      He hasn’t seen the movie, but he’s seen promos for Pennywise and he’s obsessed/terrified at the same time!!

    We rarely have overripe bananas here but this is a kids and husband favorite recipe when we do: https://cookieandkate.com/healthy-banana-muffins-recipe/

    We also discovered they have Berenstain Bears shows on YouTube Kids. They’re the cutest with decent messages.
