Weekend!!

We had a really fun weekend – lots packed in this time!

Foodblog-164002

On Friday we had terrible rainy and cold weather, but we met Matt for a little late afternoon shopping at Barracks Road.

Foodblog-160846

Knowing that we had a simple dinner on the other side, we didn’t want our time out to end, so as we were passing the new Three Notch’d Brewing Co. we decided to step inside.

Foodblog-162914

Super duper impressed with the new place!! The atmosphere was awesome, especially with a baby.

Foodblog-162940

Mazen made friends right away with another boy, and the seating arrangements were perfect for kids.

Foodblog-163645

And the snack mix was awesome – pretzels for babies; wasabi peanuts for parents!

Foodblog-163855

And the beers….YUM!

Foodblog-163953

I loved the No Veto Brown and the Sweet Winter Ale. The Tripel was also awesome, as was the Espresso Stout.

Foodblog-164503

We ended our Friday night with some simple spaghetti.

Foodblog-3658

With some of the sauce we canned two summer ago over fresh Mona Lisa Pasta.

Foodblog-3661

Saturday morning Matt went in at 3:30am, but he met us at the gym for athletic conditioning! The class was awesome and full of variety. Sarah and I had a blast!

Foodblog-095856

Afterward we went to the pool and took Mazen for a swim, followed by a hot steam shower and rainy drive home.

Saturday night we met Rosie, Kevin and Linden at Pasture for dinner!

Foodblog-3672

Syrah for me…

Foodblog-3671

We shared the pimento cheese and fried pickles to start

Foodblog-3673

The babies had fun playing together! Looks like Mazen is saying “More pimento cheese!”

Foodblog-3676

Matt and I share a few small plates ….meatballs

Foodblog-3677

Black eyed pea grits…

Foodblog-3679

And smoked trout in a jar. Really good, but I still don’t quite know what it was!

Foodblog-3680

Finally a delicious kale salad

Foodblog-3681

Sunday started simply with an early breakfast and a family walk around the neighborhood. Yay for a sunny day!!!

Then I went grocery shopping and brought home Whole Foods salad/hot bar for lunch. Love the sweet n sour tofu!

Foodblog-3691

During naptime we did all of our meal prep for the week (a la Cook Smarts!)

Foodblog-3692

And then we Mazen was up and fed we met friends at Trump Winery for a fun afternoon! It was sort of warm outside, so we figured we should get out of the house.

Foodblog-3694

Foodblog-3695

Foodblog-3697

Mazen made friends!

Foodblog-3700

Hi Sylvia!

Foodblog-3702

And we sipped bubbly

Foodblog-3704

Foodblog-3706

Baby Snack Time

Foodblog-3713

We ended the weekend with dinner with Karen at a Mexican restaurant downtown. I had chips (duh), a Corona and split some seafood fajitas with Matt. A full weekend it was!

    The smoked trout looks like a fish version of rillettes. Quite yummy stuff from France. Looks like it was great weekend!

    Looks like a great weekend and lots of good eats as usual.

    I love the pic of Mazen and Matt holding hands, walking. The difference in height is just so sweet to capture because before you know it, he’ll be shooting straight up!

    Fun times with family and friends- looks like the best kind of post-holidays weekend! Can’t wait to see your meals this week, looks like a yummy salad/coleslaw? It was sort of warm here too (50s in Nebraska), but I am looking forward to the real warm weather this spring and so are my kids. Mazen is so cute in his boots!

    Wow you did pack a lot of fun into the weekend – those are the best kind! I’m not a beer fan myself, but I love the variety of colors in the ones you tried. Really pretty. 🙂

    I probably say this monthly but holy cow – Mazen is getting so big! He’s definitely a toddler isn’t he? How does the time go by so fast??!!

    What a FUN weekend! I am so impressed by how much you and Matt are able to do with a toddler! I have a kiddo about M’s age and she does not cooperate when we try to take her to a brewery or somewhere adult-fun. Any tips? Also, every time I see chips now I think LOS CHIPS!

      Mazen is well behaved so long as he isn’t hungry, so the snack mix (and snacks from our diaper bag) kept him happy. We also weren’t there very long. He’d probably melt down more than 45 minutes or so. He’s generally pretty good in restaurants, but only if we go at 5pm and are leaving by 6:30 and he’s gotten a good meal out of it!

    Would you be willing to do a budget post about how much your family spends on food/restaurants/drinks and how you categorize them in your budget? For example, groceries are typically $XX, restaurant spending $XX and drinks $XX (but we put them in entertainment). How do you balance more expensive choices – like Whole Foods, local meat, etc – with other options? I assume your bread is “free” and that a lot of the meals you share are made from ingredients sent to you. I think it would be very eye-opening because I struggle to stay in budget for my family of 4. I feel like if I ate three meals out in a weekend it would totally blow up our budget.

    Thanks Kath!

      I’ll consider it, but so much depends on your family life, income, priorities, etc. I’d do it as percentages I think…

    Your weekends always look like such fun!!! I’m trying to get better about getting out on the weekends — sometimes after a long week, I just want to veg out and do nada! Did you get anything good on your shopping trip? Also, I’ve heard REALLY good things about Three Notch’d Brewery. I need to convince my husband to make a weekend trip out that way soon. I was looking at the beers on their website, and I saw they have a Tripel. Is that what you meant when you said Triple, or were they tasting a different beer that day? FAB post as usual! :))))))

      And yes, TRIPEL! I always type the wrong way automatically on that one.
