We started today with sleepy French toast. Everyone is a little tired from an exhausting night.

Well, most of us!

Foodblog-073259

Apple Scrapple bread underneath wearing an egg coat. Topped with melty coconut butter (I flaked it on and it melted on top) and some Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter and nature’s sprinkles {chia seeds}.

Foodblog-1090

Foodblog-1092

For lunch I created something new: a Whole Foods wild salmon burger stuffed into a Trader Joe’s pita (another coat! ha!)

Foodblog-1121

I made a yogurt spread with dried dill and smoked paprika

Foodblog-1109

And packed in some lettuce. This was incredibly delicious!

Foodblog-1117

Orange on the side

Foodblog-1119

And to drink…..green juice!

Foodblog-1112

Made from the following carrots, cucumbers, celery and half an orange. I used my juicer to press out the good stuff. {I have this one}

Foodblog-1107Foodblog-1108

Foodblog-1111

Afternoon snack of cereal and milk – simple and always filling. Whole Foods Honey Bunches.

Foodblog-1123

For dinner we had Matt’s famous pizza

Foodblog-1126

With tomatoes, peppers and bacon and some great sharp cheddar cheese on top

Foodblog-1129

Served with a spinach and avocado salad tossed in 2 parts olive oil and one part honey and rice wine vinegar

Foodblog-1131

Did you watch the Gossip Girl finale yet? I watched it in 5 minute increments all day long, and I thought it was a really satisfying ending to a GREAT series!! I will definitely miss it. 

Foodblog-1134

Hugs and kisses, xoxo!

    Oh wow that first picture of Maze is beyond gorgeous. I think that may be my favorite picture of him yet! Total cutie!!

    I’ve seen lots of sauteed banana on blogs lately. Using it to top french toast sounds wonderful. I should try that.

      I loved who Gossip Girl turned out to be! I didn’t see that one coming, either. (Although in hindsight, should have, but that’s what made it fun). And I also loved Rufus and Lisa Loeb. Way more satisfying series finale to me than, say, Lost. 🙂

    Is there such thing as ground chia seeds? Sometimes I wonder if I’m getting all the nutrient benefits of eating them because there’s no way to chew each and every little seed! Not to be gross, but do they just “pass through” like a flax seed would?

    Also, will you share the link to Matt’s pizza dough recipe? I’m sure I could find it if I dig, but if you have a handy link I’d be grateful:-)

    Have a fun day with your little tike!

    So glad to see this blog getting back to being about food and healthy living! I love the occasional cute Mazen pic, but recently it seemed like the posts were just a log of when he nursed and how many hours he was sleeping. It seemed like that stuff would be great on Baby KERF but didn’t seem all that relevant here. Obviously your readers care about how you’re doing but sometimes there was too much detail about childcare and not enough about the food, and when I checked Baby KERF, it was all product reviews 🙁 I didn’t want to say anything too negative, but just had to comment that this last post was back to normal and much more fun to read. Keep up the good work!

      Funny you say that because I was thinking the last few posts have been way too generic. They’re just Kath’s meals and that’s about it. I know this is mainly a food journal, but I like a little more content than that. Different strokes, I suppose.

    I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the ending to GG….I enjoyed the entire finale, except for the ‘5 years later’ portion, which I thought was over the top cheesy. I think it would have made more of an impact had some questions been left unanswered. I know, as frustrating as that would have been to viewers.

    I’m working really hard to eat healthier – NOT to lose weight, I wish our society wouldn’t always put those two things together – and I love how your blog celebrates all the delicious nutrients in food. I am also inspired by how simple all of your dishes are to make. I feel like I can look at the photos and I don’t even have to have a recipe, I can just put it together. 🙂

    I watched the finale of Gossip Girl. I don’t know if you ever watched The OC but the producers were the same as the ones on GG. The finale of GG was so similar to the finale of The OC. I wish they would have changed it up a bit. It was still good though. 🙂
