365: Day 199

7/19/13: Sometimes they look like this,


And sometimes they look like this.


At least 5 timeouts were given collectively today. Zoe is being SUCH A PILL recently, hitting, growling, and generally ordering everyone around like a military general. Age 3.9 is really testing me, and this is Reason #114 that I am so happy to have recently started going to the gym! I tried out water aerobics today for the first time and Derek got Husband of the Year award by taking the class with me. I've had problems with my left hip since the kids were babies, and recently again I've been in a lot of pain. The class was a fun way to get a low impact workout at the end of long week spent working my butt off on the elliptical and rowing machines.

Cook's Notes: Mommy Lunch today consisted of (clockwise from top) red peppers, radishes, kohlrabi, haruki turnips, carrots, crackers, swiss cheese, pickles, almonds, the last of the pick-your-own blueberries, cucumbers, and tofu. Mommy and Daddy Lunch was salads topped with the same array of veggies, along with tuna salad and crackers.


For supper tonight I took leftover Fiesta Casserole and made quesadillas. Zoe sat down at the table and said, "YUM!". 

I have finally accepted that you win some and you lose some... We'll see what they think of Falafel tomorrow night!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
