Lately

Hope you had a great weekend – ours was refreshingly fun! Here’s a recap of last week’s eats!

Breakfasts

Foodblog-7441

Overnight oats topped with giant blackberries, banana and almond butter plus a sprinkle of granola

Foodblog-7440

Scrambled egg, fruit + half a whole wheat blueberry ginger muffin from Great Harvest

Foodblog-7330

Yogurt with tons of fresh fruit {nectarine, black, blue and raspeberry} and a bit of granola

Foodblog-7412

Scrambled egg (I’ve been scrambling because it’s easier to share with Maze) with nectarine that tasted like candy and High Five toast with almond butter. Iced coffee season is here!

Foodblog-6

Banana + blueberry pancakes!

Foodblog-7348

Lunches

A No Bull Burger salad with sheep’s milk cheese, lettuce from the garden, avocado and a Dr. Kracker

Foodblog-7454

PB&J at the pool!

Foodblog-122321

I made a bunch to share with friends and unfortunately most had to cancel, so I ended up eating more than my share : ) There’s nothing like PB&J by the pool!

Foodblog-122303

M had broccoli, peas and squash.

Foodblog-122211

When we returned home later on I had a salad to make up for my missing veggies – with carrots, avocado, radish and almonds with balsamic vinegar drizzle

Foodblog-7321

Another day – No Bull with goat cheese, salad and strawberries

Foodblog-7393

And lastly, smoked trout on garden greens with carrot, radish and avocado plus sheep’s cheese and cherries

Foodblog-7335

Dinners

Foodblog-7315

Mint juleps with beef short ribs and green beans sauteed in a mustard-y dill sauce. Matt made the short ribs in the crockpot with a simple beer-ketchup-vinegar sauce and cooked them down all day. Served over cabbage and carrots that got the same treatment.

Foodblog-7318

We had the leftovers a few days later with smashed herby potatoes and broccoli from our garden (first time growing it – so far, so good!) The broccoli was steamed with some Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar to make it saucy.

Foodblog-7450

Foodblog-7439

Spaghetti night! Whole wheat noodles with some of our summer homemade tomato sauce canned last year with fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden and zucchini from the farmer’s market. The last of the sheep’s milk cheese on top.

Foodblog-7436

Grilled tofu plus zucchini and fried green tomatoes! They came out perfectly dipped in egg and then cornmeal and cooked in sunflower oil until lightly brown.

Foodblog-7324

And lastly

Foodblog-7510

Shrimp and grits with Wades Mill grits cooked in the rice cooker. They were the most perfect cooked home grits I’ve had – thanks to the porridge setting and a few hours of hands-off time!

Foodblog-7488

The shrimp were coated in Old Bay and sunflower oil and then sauteed with some peppers and zucchini.

    Your eats looks fabulous as always. I love your nails – very sparkly and wild!! It was in the 90s and humid all weekend and iced coffee was definitely my go-to beverage. I love seeing all the berry varieties in your breakfast bowls. It makes me wish berries were in season year-round because I love them so much!

    I mean, truly, is there really anything better than PB&J for a lunch by the pool? I just don’t think so. Put a side of fresh fruit in a container and you’ve got yourself a perfect pool day snack. And I say snack because let’s get real. Pool days make me hangry. Must be the sun.

    Mhmm so much great food in your household! Do you get your fresh fruit from a farmer’s market or do you usually pick them up from the grocery store? They look so vibrant and delicious in all of your pictures!

      The farmer’s market lately. The berries are so good!

        Nice! How much are the berries where you live kath? Where I live it depends on which farmers market you go to. For instance if you go to one in an expensive neighborhood then the vendors charge a lot more. (These are the same vendors at the other locations too) Some cost as much as 5 dollars for a tiny basket! Other times you can pay 7 dollars for 2-3lbs of strawberries. At the end of the day your money goes to those who work hard.

    Everything looks so yummy!!! Out of curiosity, when you share your scrambled eggs with Mazen do you include the egg whites? I am anxious to have my little guy try scrambled eggs but I wasn’t sure about the whites.
    Thanks!

    I’ve been meaning to ask you something. The way you make your scrambled eggs. I keep noticing in the pics how the white and yellow aren’t totally combined. Scrambled are the only kind I eat. Up here in NY we mix them together before so you can’t tell the white from the yellow. They’re basically a light yellow. I can’t eat them except that way. When we went to the Dominican Republic, they made them more like yours. Just wondering if it’s preference or regional..
    Little Mazen is getting so big. And cuter every time I see a pic of him 🙂

      I think it’s just preference : ) I tend to just crack them into the pan and scramble them around to save cleaning a separate bowl. It gives it that marbled look that I actually prefer!

    Lovely pictures of yummy meals! When you first had Mazen, were you able to find time to cook meals for your family? Just curious as I am about to have my first child, and although I froze some meals in advance, I love cooking fresh foods!

      We had a lot of friends bring over meals in the first few weeks, but when those ended we just made simple things – veggie burgers on salads, frittatas, etc. I didn’t cook anything extravagant. I still do as many make-ahead meals as I can. I wish I were better at prepping frozen things!

    Hey Kath! When you have a yogurt bowl for breakfast, how much Greek yogurt do you usually put in your bowl? I’ve been putting half a cup in my bowl but find that I get hungry before lunch time. I usually have a tbsp. of nut butter along with some sort of fruit on top of the greek. Thanks for your help!

      About a cup. Maybe you need more whole grains?

        So should add some grawwwnola to the top? Or possibly a side of toast in the morning? That might fix the grumbling tummy.

    Every time I read one of your lately posts I want to try No Bull Burgers! I almost ordered some but backed out when I saw the shipping (I’m in Kansas). Ouch! Still hoping they spread across the country. They look delicious. Do you know if they have plans to spread further?

    I’m so curious – how do you steam broccoli with mustard, ACV etc? Do you put it on the raw broccoli in the steamer? Or in the water? Or do you add it after?
