Checking In + Real Food Roundup

this !

Hi friend. I think I speak for many bloggers that I am unsure how and when to proceed with my posts. Last week’s break was important. Jumping back into healthy living topics feels weird, yet I know we have to move forward. We have to learn how to blend the changes our country desperately needs within the real lives we live and the real conversations we have. Like I said on Friday, the seeds we had been planting were not enough. We are committed to planting more. Most of those changes happen offline and get no likes or shares. Please know if I am not screenshoting every donation or sharing every podcast I listen to it doesn’t mean I’m not participating. Because sharing is not the point. (That said, I recommend listening to the 1619 podcast.)

 

Here are some snapshots of life at home

Bubbles on bubbles! We have replaced the batteries twice we use it so much…

Brothers on brothers on books…

Birchie’s Smart Wheels Train Station is a big hit!! (Also I know ALL the songs to those vehicles : ) )

Real Food

Breakfasts

The summer bagel kick is strong (and no I’m not pregnant – haha!) Also if I had had more I would have doubled the cream cheese on that bagel! We ran out.

It’s also yogurt bowl season. Loving all the fresh berries!! Plus homemade granola, bananas, and PB powder.

Leftover French toast with an almond butter puddle and raspberries.

Lunches

This was one of those “everything but the sink” leftover salads. Inside (I think!) I combined: strawberries, leftover frittata, yellow peppers, goat gouda (our latest obsession) and a homemade dressing.

Plenty Cville caesar with salmon! I loved the dry breadcrumbs on top, the homemade dressing, and of course salmon that filled me right up.

It hasn’t been all salads! I had smoked salmon in the fridge and enjoyed that on a whole wheat bun with goat gouda, sliced pickles, mustard, and a side of chips.

Dinners

Grill out night – BBQ chicken (which got a bit too grilled!), peppers and zucchini, and sweet potato fries.

Simple summer frittata. I used a dozen eggs, bell peppers, spinach, and a Mexican mix of shredded cheese. We had this for breakfasts + lunches the next day too. I need to make frittatas more often!

And finally – another Plenty Cville meal (a different week, actually, than the above salad). Salmon + potatoes + asparagus + yogurt dip on a busy Tuesday night.

First taste of wine!

J/K – the cup was empty. (And he is in fact wearing a diaper!!)

    To me I like a variety of posts . It’s fun to hear what’s going on in your life, it’s fun to see and get new recipes . Plus it’s interesting to find out how you and your family are doing with the pandemic . I’m quiet and hang in the background more , but I’ve read you blog for years and look forward to it .

    Just chiming in to say thank you for the 1619 podcast recommendation. I listened last year when it was released and it was fairly earth-shattering. I think everyone should listen.

    In that vein, I finished the Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction this year, The Nickel Boys, and it’s another deeply moving story that will stir up a lot of feelings. Very relevant and a great read – today and always. ??

    I definitely think it’s more important what our long term, every day actions are with respect to all of this. It should be so ingrained and “normal” that we can’t screen shot every instance of it. Anyone who is looking for daily or weekly “receipts” of our changing habits is looking for the wrong thing.

    Of course no one expects you to share screenshots of your donations, but as an influencer, if you share links to the organizations you donate to, more people might also be inspired to give.

    There was a great, peaceful protest march in Cville last night. We marched from the Downtown Mall to the Rotunda. Maybe you could participate in upcoming protests. Lots of families and small children attend.

      I just want to point out some families aren’t joining protests due to covid. I would love to get out there and support Black Livea Matters, but my daughter is immunocompromised and has bad lungs. Our pediatrician has advised us not to go anywhere remotely crowded. We don’t know Kath’s family’s health concerns. I’m definitely sensitive because I wish we could join and feel horrible and am beating myself up about not getting out there.

    i like what you say, our action is more important than what we post in social media.

    I love that you’re not taking action for clout. I do think it’s important to acknowledge the many ways in which you are privileged and what conscious efforts you are making to *stand* for racial equity and justice. As an influencer, you could increase awareness and change in so many ways. Thank you!
