Chill Weekend

Foodblog-130411

After many weekends in a row of travel and parties, we had nothing on our calendar for this one! We still managed to fill it up, but it was nice to create our own schedule.

Foodblog-8597

Friday afternoon we headed over to our friend Sylvia’s house. Mazen can’t quite say Sylvia so he calls her Saya. And Sylvia calls him Saya right back! Together they are The Sayas and they are quite the team!

High five!

Foodblog-8610

Fist bump…

Foodblog-8612

A miss!

Foodblog-8616

Do-over..

Foodblog-8618

All done!

Foodblog-8603

They had lots of fun in the splash pool together

Foodblog-8587

Foodblog-8592

Foodblog-8600

And shared a romantic dinner for two

Foodblog-8625

Foodblog-8631

I packed a PB&banana sandwich to eat since I had a soccer game that evening. Can’t have any veggies in my stomach while I sprint!

Foodblog-8621

Here’s an oh-so-glamorous photo my dad took at my game on Thursday. #allhair

Foodblog--2

Thursday’s game we lost, but Friday’s game we WON! Yay! We didn’t have any girl subs, so I played the whole game. Exhausting! I am totally loving playing soccer again.

I had ice cream to celebrate and refuel

Foodblog-8641

Saturday morning we headed downtown to the City Market. But first to Karen’s house to water her plants!

Foodblog-103716

Where would I put our produce without a stroller!? I don’t even remember what I used to do. Note the kicking toddler was out playing at this time.

Foodblog-112518

We shared a coconut strawberry popsicle – my favorite

Foodblog-112957

I stopped by a UVA skin care booth to get my sun damage tested in a cool camera box thing. The photo on the left is me normal and on the right is the UV one. The red spots that look like freckles are sun damage (where I also have freckles!) She said my skin looked very good, which was great to hear because while I’m in the sun a lot, I do wear sunscreen religiously on my face.

Foodblog-123017

Water break! Running is hard work.

Foodblog-120222

For lunch we had foods from the market – a No Bull Burger (I love the sausage flavor!), cherries and green beans that I cook in butter and finished with parmesan – they were so delicious!

Foodblog-8644

I went to the mall during naptime to return something and pop into Sephora and then to the grocery store.

Back home at 5pm, it was cocktail hour!

Foodblog-8661

And bubble hour..

Foodblog-8665

We all LOVE bubble hour!

For dinner Matt and I cooked more market goodies – taters and peas from Pot Luck Farm with bacon and squash. Summer good!

Foodblog-8666

And for dessert there was more ice cream – Breyers mint choco chip! It’s that time of year where evening without ice cream feels empty. Not sure how I feel about that!

Foodblog-8676

Sunday morning we ate banana chia pancakes with raspberries and sunbutter

Foodblog-8679

And some of us also had watermelon, which is currently the only fruit that Mazen will eat.

Foodblog-8681

And then we went to the gym for family workout!

Foodblog-114743

We made Mazen this awesome broccoli and cheese quesadilla for lunch and I ended up eating about a quarter of it. Just look at that cheese melt!

Foodblog-8682

Plus this plate of sides: leftover taters, beans and cherries.

Foodblog-8684

Sunday evening we went to a neighborhood picnic for our street!

Foodblog-180308

It was so lovely to get to know our neighbors better and put faces to addresses

Dinner plate {we brought a big massaged kale salad from our garden + bread}

Foodblog-180301

Dessert plate (!!) …that pie!

Foodblog-183943

Somebody had a great time and didn’t go to sleep until almost 9:30!

    For not having plans, you did do quite a bit! 🙂 I think this time of year, ice cream is almost mandatory or at least popsicles, which I bought a box of yesterday when it hit 90. That quesadilla looks yummy!!

    I got all excited when I saw that first picture with the cherries! Cherries are one of my FAVORITES and when I saw them at the store yesterday I just HAD to have them. I can’t believe how big Mazen is getting…and he has a girl friend?! 😉

    Love that bubble machine! The reviews on it don’t look super great though, so I’d be interesting in hearing an update if you guys continue to love it and maybe I’ll seek one out anyway 🙂

    Serious berry envy from all the delicious looking fruit in this post!!

    Chocolate pecan pie?? If it is it’s my FAVOURITE! All things Cherry…we’re just about to start picking our here in the next couple of weeks, favourite summer activity. Well done on the soccer game…and I’m with you on the ice cream…I’ve started making my own, sans ice cream maker and managed to get a good creamy non dairy ice cream with 4 hours of interval whisking! So worth it!

    I really need to find one of those UV tester things! Being so fair skinned and freckled, I have to admit that I wasn’t always so diligent about putting on sunscreen! I’m afraid of what it would look like under one of those tests – but better to know and find out how to protect my skin even more!

    Beautiful, colorful post! Those pictures of the kids are too cute. You look great, and I’m impressed with your sun damage photo — I have seen some pretty bad ones! Those cherries look great and so does the kale salad! Looks like you are having a great summer.

        another question on the pool…. do you fill it with warm water or cold water? do you change the water everyday?

          Cold from the hose. And yes we dump it after each use. I don’t fill it all the way up though.

    What a fun weekend! I love neighborhood get togethers/picnics. It’s so nice to meet everyone who shares your space!
    BTW, Kath, I posted a video on my YouTube channel a few days ago with 3 recipes for quick, easy healthy summer breakfast ideas. One of them is for overnight oats and I wanted to thank you for being the first blogger to introduce me to the concept! I’d never heard of them before you posted something about them last summer. Here’s the link to the video if you’re interested-

    Love when you post things you feed Mazen. My son is 13 months and I have a hard time coming up with new things to pack to send with him to my mother-in-law’s house! I’m scared he’s going to get tired of the same old stuff I pack him. I love it when we have leftovers for him too!

    Sounds like an awesome weekend! Question on the green beans – how do you cook them in butter? Just sautee in a pan and then sprinkle with parm? They looked so yummy in your pic!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      June 23, 2014 at 2:56 pm

      Yes, first I steam them in the pan with water, then when they’re almost ready I add butter and then the parm
