Lately

Foodblog-9705

What’s been on the menu? Tons of fresh summer produce!!

Breakfasts

This bowl is a parfait of yogurt, peaches, blackberries, granola and crumbly fresh ground almond butter. I’ve gotten lots of questions about this bowl over the years – it’s a Weck jar, actually!

Foodblog-9706

I had more peaches on day 2 – this time alongside some scrambled eggs and the last red, white and blue swirl of the summer!

Foodblog-8968

Mazen loooves pancakes, so we have them as often as I have the energy to make. Topped with Wild Friends sunflower butter, peach and a little leftover banana.

Foodblog-8911

More swirl bread with eggs and more peach! I had so many peaches this week.

Foodblog-9232

And finally, some classic whipped banana oats with summer blueberries, melty jam and good old peanut butter on top! If I put blueberries in Mazen’s oatmeal he screams bloody murder, so I can’t add mine until after the oats are in the bowl.

Foodblog-9709

Lunches

On the lunch front I dined with friends several times!

Here Monday’s lunch with leftover sweet potato fries, tomatoes from the garden, avocado and chicken sausage.

Foodblog-9659

On Tuesday I met up with Baking Me Krazy Karen and her sweet daughter visiting from Canada!

Foodblog-04

We had lunch at the Whiskey Jar where I ate this wonderful blackened catfish salad and shared cornbread with Mazen.

Foodblog-11

Next up a smoothie – with kale and yogurt and things – probably more peach

Foodblog-35

Alongside an egg sandwich with PB & J on a Dakota bun from the bakery 

Foodblog-9831

Thursday: Leftover noodles over a salad with a few fresh tomatoes and leftover chicken sausage that Mazen wouldn’t touch

Foodblog-9708

On Friday I met up with sisters Candace and Cara who were visiting Cville from Ohio!

Foodblog-08

I had a pimento cheese + tofu salad at Great Harvest

Foodblog-15

And the last date with blog friends from last weekend at Eppie’s!! Shared this plate with Mazen and still only got through about half.

Foodblog-05

Dinners

Foodblog-50

Fun at book club!! We had everything from fresh fruit to baked fruit in cobbler form to garden-fresh tomatoes and salads and Thai noodles. A yummy evening discussing Oryx and Crake, which I liked but didn’t love.

Foodblog-56

Matt decided to try grilling some kale from our garden that turned into this dinner. The panko tofu is Caitlin’s recipe and it was amazing!!!! Sweet potato fries round out the meal. The kale was like eating kale chips off the stem. Kind of messy, so we ate outside. I can’t wait to make that tofu again!

Foodblog-9655

Here’s some Chicken + Bean Bake from our party night. I think this was actually a Sunday night dinner. Served with cheddar garlic bread and tomatoes.

Foodblog-9824

Next up we had BBQ baked tofu plus sweet potato and eggplant fries! I prepped this whole dinner before my friend Sarah came to babysit for us in the afternoon. She put it in the oven at 5 and we ate together when I got home. Those eggplant fries were soooo good!

Foodblog-9869

And finally, a lentil, potato, okra and more kitchen sink soup. I was cleaning out the veggies it the fridge! There were some fresh lima beans in there too. Topped with cheddar and yogurt.

Foodblog-9875

Hope y’all are enjoying the dog days of summer!

    Does egg work well with pb+j? Was planning on having an egg sandwich later, inspired to turn it up a notch now but can’t imagine how it would taste…

    Lovely blog by the way, I’m a long time follower but first time commenter! x

    Looks like a lot of beautiful summer produce! Where in Canada is Karen from Baking Me Krazy from? I’m from Vancouver & have family all over the country – I googled for a Baking Me Krazy website but got nothing. It’s always nice to be introduced to new blogs of fellow Canadian bakers!

    YUMMMM. love all the peaches in your meals! I had a bag of nectarines a few weeks ago and I’m pretty sure I finished all 8 of them in like 2.5 days. SO GOOD.

    I have a question about the chicken bake. I noticed this in this post and the post about your olive oil party. It doesn’t look like the chicken is cooked. Is that a filter on the photo or a particularly dark piece of dark meat?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      August 8, 2014 at 2:34 pm

      It’s the kind of boneless thighs I used. I would not recommend them! They are dark meat and don’t look great. We always use a meat thermometer to test doneness, so that was not the problem. I would recommend skin ON chicken for this recipe.

    When I make pancakes i save the extras and then toast them for another breakfast (or a snack). They only keep a day or so, though you could freeze them. Much healthier than the frozen ones from the grocery. 🙂

    Love all the peaches! We are doing the same. It’s almost hard to eat them all so I turned a few into jam

    I just tried the cville cluster granola from my Quarterly box. It is amazing!!! I have been eating it by the handful straight from the bag. Easily one of the best granolas I have ever had!

    Have you ever made banana pancakes? One banana to two eggs. That’s it! We add a tsp of soda and dash of cinnamon, and sometimes peanut butter. They are so good and easy.

        Thanks Jen! They are Merrell sandals. We both bought ours on Amazon and absolutely love them. They are a bit more pricey then your average sandal but they are so comfortable and last forever 🙂

    My 4 year old loves to help with our oatmeal. She only eats about a 1/4 cup of it, but it’s a start. Anyway, we have the same mix-in problem. She’s okay with everything else I add, but only let’s me do banana for fruit. Anything else has to be added like you said, in the bowl. However, she’s slowly getting more brave with her “toppings” as long as she can add them herself. Considering that she is only one of three girls who will eat the oatmeal, I’ll do it her way. Lol.

      I put peach in today because we were out of banana and he likes peach (half of the time) and the oats were rejected! I blended them into a smoothie and had success that way. Crazy kids!

    On menu we have tons of freshness and health 🙂 I am craving for a perfect day from weeks now and I think I have to plan it on my own. I am so much in love with pimento cheese and tofu salad, I wish to have it right now. Thanks for sharing this healthy delight, loved it.

    Hi there Kath, I just discovered your blog and this post really drew me in. I got taken on a very visual journey through your food pics. I could just imagine myself sharing the tofu, sweet potato and eggplant fries with you and kicking back for a chat, very inviting 🙂

    And the bookclub spread looked delicious too.
