Where The Green Grass Grows

Foodblog-8221

This is going to be one of those photos I come across in the dead of winter and long for the warmth and greenery of spring! The sun is twinkling through the trees and turning everything neon today.

And boy was I thankful to see the sun up already when I left for Plyo Max at 5:45 this morning! It gave me a little extra burst of energy to workout early. Class was the usual jumping dance party!

Back home, Matt was just finishing up making Mazen and me some oatmeal before he left for a run.

OIAJ! Whipped banana topped with a little Cville Cluster Granola.

Rachel and I worked on her post for tomorrow while Mazen was at school until 11:15 when I walked to meet his class for their end-of-the-year picnic!

I packed a big lunch, but not too much eating occurred. He has such cute friends, and they spent most of the time running in and out from under this big tree.

I polished off the curried chicken salad and a few red peppers in hummus.

Brownie Bite ate Mazen’s rejected SB&J!

Speaking of that chicken salad, I first had Ina Garten’s recipe at Sarah’s house not too long ago and put it in our meal rotation. The recipe is quite simple, and the chutney and cashews take it to a whole new level! I replaced some of the mayo with Greek yogurt, which worked like a charm.

We served it last night for dinner with a spinach salad dressed in a chutney dressing with red peppers and Everything crackers for scooping.

Papa (Matt’s dad) is coming tonight for the weekend, and I’m sneaking away with Lynsie for a quick girls trip tomorrow night! Check Insta for updates : )

    Love Ina Garten’s curried chicken salad! We make it all the time. It’s also great mixed in a salad with baby arugula, red bell pepper and cucumbers.

    What kind of sandwich did you pack for Mazen? I’m always looking for new lunch ideas for my 3 year old daughter! Xo!

    I have never had a single bad recipe from Ina. Have you tried her 1770 House meatloaf? It’s incredible.
