Happy Spring, friends!!
We’re kicking things off with some super peanut butter toast! Cinnamon Raisin Walnut bread from Great Harvest plus bananas and Wild Friends Peanut Butter.
I also made a green smoothie with all the usuals – greens, a banana, milk, yogurt, chia – and I added some bran flakes to eat it like cereal…..because why not? It was good this way!
Next up: a fried egg, a piece of bacon, banana with almond butter, a few strawberries and coffee!
On the lunch front, a visit to the Struckmann’s! I brought kale and avocado for a salad and Sarah had leftover crockpot pork that we put on top.
Lunch at Brazos!! Their chip combo is my favorite – salsa, guac and a really delicious cheese dip!
Plus TWO tacos – a pork belly and avocado one and a fish taco with the onion-y slaw on the side.
This lunch was totally random. I feel like a lot of my at-home lunches are really odd these days. A leftover burger with cheese, ketchup for dunking and some veggie bites with hummus. I wish I could say this was a toddler plate! Ha!
For dinner I made a big kale salad with smashed avocado dressing, red pepper, and goat cheese. I likely had a bigger lunch that day! I had it with a little bit of wine on the side.
This dinner was actually from last weekend – pizza and beer at ACAC trivia night!
A random bowl of foods on Survivor night – rice, beans, cheese, green beans and chips! Sort of Mexican? Plus a little red on the side.
And finally, a snap of cookie making with my main squeeze.
Gingerbread!
But when our cookie cutter started sticking, we made free-form shapes, including this brontosaurus!
That’s all for now, folks!
Lisa C. says
Love the free form cookies! Mazen is such a cutie.
Tonya says
Mazen cookie pics—:-) :-)!
India says
Cookie pics were adorable! Your outside area looks so nice.
Question about the wine – do you open a bottle and save it for a few days? I frequently crave a glass after work, but then don’t want to open a bottle just for me. And boxed wine doesn’t cut it.
KathEats says
I rarely open a bottle just for myself – sometimes i have a friend over for a glass and have some leftover. But my white is actually from a box – The Big Green Box Chardonnay is pretty good!
India says
Oh lovely! I don’t know if we have it out in CA. Earlier this year I went theough a craze, trying to find something I liked and I never found one impressed me. The search continues!
Melanie says
Hi Kath – I’m a new reader here and I was wondering if you could do a week in the life series type of post. I’m curious as to what you do with all your time. 🙂
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Ooh you just reminded me I have some pulled pork left in the freezer!!!
Haley says
I just wanted to say that I love your blog! Now that you seem to post regularly in the morning, reading it during my morning break (I’m a teacher) is something I always look forward to! I think you’re a great role model of healthy living. I find so many blogs overly curated, styled, and massaged to fit an image; I love how genuine and down-to-earth yours is!
Cassie says
Happy spring Kath! 🙂 This series of eats look wonderful!
Shel says
Long- time reader here.. Since when do you eat onions? Or anything onion flavored?
Mazen’s growing up so fast !
KathEats says
oh I don’t! That’s why the slaw was on the side 🙂
Tonya says
Kath eating onions would require its own separate confessional post, akin the “the post” that everyone is talking about! LOL! 🙂
KathEats says
Haha!
OKC Landscaping says
Mazen’s painting is SO CUTE! I remember doing this as a kid too!
Amanda says
Baking with my son is one of my favorite things. Sweet memories in the making!
Dana says
Love! Is Wild Friends PB worth it?? Was thinking about buying on Amazon…
KathEats says
It’s really really good!! All of their flavors are. Great texture!!
emily s. says
The brontosaurus made me smile…I, too, have had to free-hand cut dinosaur shaped cookies for my three year old.
Linda @ The Fitty says
Is that chip and guac better than the one at Chipotle?
Stephani Olnhausen says
Do you happen to remember where you got that wooden step? In search of one for my 3.5 year old. And yum, gingerbread cookies!
KathEats says
Homegoods I believe
Healthuoso says
Those tacos look great!
