Claustrophobia? What’s claustrophobia? Mazen sure doesn’t have it! He spent about an hour in this bin – and requested to eat lunch in “his house.”
I put everything but the kitchen sink into this smoothie a few days ago – including kale and mint! The mint was really good. Also included: milk, yogurt, oats, frozen berries, banana.
We had dinner at Sarah’s on Wednesday. Matt and I brought salad with stinky cheese and croutons and she made salmon. Delicious!
Last night we made this Blue Apron meal for an upcoming post – it was one of my favorites! Chicken pasta in a lovely creamy sauce. Arugula salad on the side. Speedy weeknight meal too!
This morning M and I are hanging at home, so we made pancakes together. Served with kiwi and a Celestial Seasonings Godfather iced latte.
Hope you guys are eating well today – and have big plans for your weekends! Whatcha doing?
Lindsey @ Simply Lindsey says
That iced latte looks SO delicious! This weekend is filled with a date night, baby shower for a friend, and furniture shopping for our new house! 🙂
Kate says
That’s so cute about his house! I have plans for relaxing by cooking and reading! Hoping the sun will stay out.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
that salad looks delicious!
Kate says
That salad looks amazing! We are spending the weekend getting ready for our wedding next weekend! and if all goes well, a trip to the race track at Saratoga. Have a wonderful weekend!
KathEats says
Happy wedding!!
Cassie says
My Saturday will NOT be fun trust me! ACT prep is not the way to spend a weekend! But I’m hoping Sunday will be a great start to a new week!
KathEats says
Ewww agreed!! But good luck on the test
Miss Polkadot says
Mazen the Minimalist ;). That way he’ll probably feel at home in even the smallest of dorm rooms or apartments later – not the worst thing.
Cindy DuBose says
Kath,
Where do you buy your salmon? Whole Foods? So you recommend fresh or frozen?
Thanks!
KathEats says
I buy it frozen since it’s flash frozen and the freshness is preserved…but I’d get fresh if I was going to the store right before dinner
Cindy DuBose says
Oops, I meant to write do you recommend fresh or frozen salmon.
Amanda says
Oooh that pasta looks fab! Love Blue Apron!
Sagan says
Oh children 🙂
That smoothie looks super tasty – love when you just throw a bunch of ingredients together and it turns out awesome!
Wrapping up Fringe Fest in my city & catching up on work this weekend 🙂
Emily @ Life on Food says
I put fresh basil in my smoothies and it gives the whole thing a refreshingly fresh taste. Mint is a great idea too. Don’t know why I never thought of that.
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
we’re taking a mini-road trip to VA beach tomorrow! so excited!
KathEats says
Close by!! Have fun
Julie says
I’m going to the Toronto festival of beer this weekend. Pretty excited! 🙂
KathEats says
Fun fun!!
Ashley says
Hi Kath. Random question for you – how do you keep your blender free from that white film on the sides? I have tried everything and I cant seem for the life of me to remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!
KathEats says
Mine has some!! Just a little. I try to wash it ASAP – I think that probably helps
Alex @ True Femme says
Mazen looks so tiny all curled up in his “house” 🙂 I am visiting my family in Colorado and going to my favorite Renaissance Festival tomorrow! I can’t wait to find some cute artisanal jewelry (I have 3 preserved rose necklaces from there that are gorgeous!) and see some fun shows. I also kind of want a tiara… 😉 That’s as close to getting dressed up in a costume as I will get!
Alison @ Daily Moves and Grooves says
Mmm I should put mint in my smoothies because we have a forest of mint in our backyard!

Who is the little foot at the top? Mazen is being so cute!

I’m working at a summer festival for the weekend selling our range of products to the masses! Hoping the sun shines bright! Smoothie looks epic!
kay says
Hi Kath – love the blog – help a European out – what’s “stinky cheese”?
I don’t see much sauce on the pasta (again – probably a European thing, we like a LOT of sauce on our pasta!) Do you have a recipe? I’m also interested to know what cheese you use for topping your pasta dishes?
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
Ha! Cutie! I wish I wasn’t claustrophobic!
Ashley R says
Magen in that container! Eek!
My in-laws attend an annual potluck competition and I started going three years ago. Two years ago I started taking “Best in Show”! Let’s see if I can keep it going tomorrow! Bacon seems to be my winning theme with Apple Bacon Burboun Pie and Mini Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato “Frosting”. This year is Avocado Bacon Pasta Salad. Exciting!
KathEats says
Sounds delicious!
Kristan says
Mazen is so funny!
How do you get your smoothies to stay pink when you add greens? Mine always seem to turn brown. Still tasty but my 4 year old gets all weird about a brown smoothie. Sometimes I pretend it’s chocolate to get him to drink it anyways #sorrynotsorry. Could it be because I also usually add blueberries?
The Blue Apron dish looks yummy! I’m obsessed with arugula lately.
We have a wine tasting party tonight, and possibly grilling out with friends tomorrow. Going to try to repot my succulents this weekend too. Happy weekend!
KathEats says
I think we just used a little less and added more berries – mine sometimes turns brown too!
Emily says
Mazen is amazing. I think I would probably freak out if I was in that tight of a space. And your salads look delicious. Not much happening here this weekend besides house cleaning, taking care of PUPPIES!, and spending time with the fam!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
Ha! I remember I used to love hanging out in a bin like that when I was a kid. Weird thing is I’m now terribly claustrophobic – I always need an aisle seat on the plane and at the movies!
Dani @ DaniCaliforniaCooks says
That pasta and arugula salad looks perfect! I’ll have to repeat on my own!
