Weekend.

Foodblog--2

Our weekend was full of summer fun. Hope yours was too!

Friday night we went to Fridays After Five and picnicked. We had salads from our garden with goat cheese, tomatoes, corn off the cob, avocado and a homemade dressing, and of course I forgot to capture a photo! Here was the vibe:

Foodblog-183606

It was H.O.T. and M’s hair was humid enough to stand into a mohawk : )

Foodblog-184256

Saturday morning was great because Maze slept until 6:30! That meant I got a wonderful 9+ hours of sleep. We had eggs and berries together for breakfast and then walked to the city market to get our fruits and veggies for the week.

We spent the hot afternoon at the pool with Matt. Adult swim was the best – we had the whole pool to ourselves before a million wild splashing kids jumped back in.

Foodblog-170518

Late afternoon featured a lovely cocktail hour with mint juleps!

Foodblog-7603

We also snacked on some Caromont goat brie I bought at the market over Nut-thins with radish and caper for a fancy appetizer.

Foodblog-7599

Ride ‘em cowboy!

Foodblog-7596

Pizza was on the menu!

Foodblog-7605

Made with bacon, garden tomatoes and lots of great melty cheese. Plus salad and tomatoes from our garden.

Foodblog-2

Sunday morning balanced out Saturday morning with a 5:30am wake up : (

Foodblog-061401

I made baked banana oatmeal minus the bananas plus summer fruit on top! It was sort of like an upside-down fruit crisp.

Foodblog-7612

Topped with some almond butter:

Foodblog-7617

After breakfast Matt and I traded workouts at the gym. I came home quite red in the face!

Foodblog-110348

For lunch we made BBTs – bacon, basil, tomato plus more of that amazing goat brie. Peach + chips on the side.

Foodblog-

After lunch I took advantage of daddy time and went out for a much needed pedicure.

Foodblog-150157

We ventured out post afternoon nap to run a few errands and stopped into Kohr Brothers for cones! Mint + vanilla for me. Such a fun summer snack.

Foodblog-162101

Our weekend concluded with a broccoli + cheese quiche. Broccoli from the garden! So far so good growing it.

And that’s the end of that chapter.

    OMG – Maze’s mohawk!!! That is just way too adorable!! I could look at that picture of him all day and laugh. 🙂 Too cute.

    That baked oatmeal looks amazing. My mom shared one with me for this Amish oatmeal with dried cherries and walnuts that is really good but I haven’t made it in a while. Too hot to turn on the oven unless absolutely necessary – but I’m thinking lots of baked oatmeal should be made this Fall/Winter!

        What are Chia eggs? I always try to include Chia seeds in my cooking because of the health benefits. I’d love another option!

          If you soak a tablespoon of chia seeds in water it forms a gelled “egg” that you can use for baking

    I should make that baked oatmeal. How long does it typically last? I was thinking I could make it and eat it for breakfast before work all week! It would be so fast, delicious, easy, and much less expensive than grabbing something on the run.

    Seriously jealous of that pool! Wow! We live in a beach town (still a 20min drive to the beach though) but babies and beach is quite the hassle! I’d love to have access to a pool where the chairs and umbrellas are ready to go!

    I’ve noticed in a few pictures that Mazen’s lower legs look pretty tan compared to the rest of him and I thought I’d pass on a tip for the BOB (since lower legs are the only part sticking out of the awesome canopy) – I use one of our A+A blanets folded to size and clipped with clothespins to the red dangling strap on either side of the stroller. Maybe you do something similar but I haven’t noticed in any pictures so thought I’d pass that along.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      July 9, 2013 at 2:20 pm

      I know! I put SPF 50 on him for our walks but we are out so much the sun is still making itself known. Do you clip the blanket to the carseat straps? Does it lie on his legs and make them hot?

      Reply
      • Kristi says

        July 9, 2013 at 2:28 pm

        Yes, we’ve been avoiding the beach for that reason! So hard to find a balance between outdoor fun and too much sun. Yes I think those red straps are the carseat straps. I use a solid white A+A and they are so guazey I don’t think it makes baby hot. If you’re willing to sacrifice one you could cut it to a smaller size and that would eliminate the fold. I clip it at the part of the strap that connects to the stroller so it’s more suspended than actually resting on baby. Play around with it! I do the same with our umbrella stroller but clip it to the stroller fabric directly.

        That is awesome!! I wish our public pool would allow that. Babies aren’t even allowed in the big pool, even with swimmie diapers, only the baby pool that is only a foot deep so it doesn’t keep them very cool.

    Okay, I am seriously freaking drooling over here. Your food this week looks SO good!

    Two questions:

    1. How do you cook your green beans? They look way more delicious than my boring beans. Do you saute them or add any sauce?

    2. Am I reading your quiche recipe correct – you don’t include cheese? Is this to cut back on fat/calories because of the crust? Don’t you miss the cheese?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      July 9, 2013 at 7:55 pm

      We usually sautee the beans in some water and then when they’re tender add a sauce – this was a mustardy herb sauce I believe.

      This quiche had cheese! That other one didn’t. It just depends on what we have on hand. I don’t miss it if the ingredients are good.

    Kath, just wanted to let you know that I had smoked sardines (Trader Joe’s brand) for lunch today, and it was delicious. I’ve always loved canned tuna, but this was even better. It didn’t even taste fishy! It was more liked smoked chicken. I mashed it up (surprise, no heads, no bones or skin to mess with), added a little mayo, some leftover mango salsa and curry powder. Ate it with Wheat Thins—-and LOVED it! Thanks so much for the video on it.
