365: Day 179- Getting Back in the Food Groove


6/29/13: We have spent the last couple of days trying to re-group after an awesome week in Minnesota. After doing lots of food shopping the last 2 days, we finally had everything to make smoothies for lunch. 


Today's concoction had kale, spinach, broccoli, collard and mustard greens, fresh citrus, green apple, peaches, mango, pineapple with a splash of apple juice.

On Thursday night we made Chicken Parm Meatballs and steamed broccoli. Tonight we made an awesome summer supper and ate on the deck. We grilled our FAVORITE chicken, Asian-Style Barbecue Chicken, and two summer salads chock full of vegetables from today's Farmer's Market. The first was Chilled Napa Cabbage with Shallots and Cilantro. It was my first time making it so I didn't make any modifications, and it turned out delicious! We also tried Lemony Quinoa Salad, to which I made a few modifications (subbed in Israeli Couscous for the quinoa, added haruki turnips, sugar snap peas, fresh parsley, and feta cheese).


Zoe didn't love the salads as much as we did, and she was the Lone Diner once the rest of us were done eating.


In typical Zoe fashion, she eventually finished everything. When I was cleaning up the dishes I commented how delicious our dinner was and she enthusiastically nodded her head in agreement.


Silly goose.

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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
