Foodie Friday

Totally forgot about Foodie Friday until right before lunch so here you go!

Lunch

1:07- I threw this together while the kids played after their lunch 

Pasta stir fry- noodles, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, garlic, peas, carrots, chia seeds, sriracha, soy sauce and teriyaki 

Y'all I was so stuffed!! It was really filling and my mouth was burning due to my common overload of sriracha. 

Dinner

6:15- Bryson went to Maggiano's for lunch and brought home fettuccine Alfredo leftovers. I on the other hand had already prepped overnight oatmeal. I had been craving something cold and sweet but nutritious. 

Bryson and the kids- Fettuccine Alfredo, broccoli, olives and grapes 

Me- peanut butter and chocolate overnight oats (I know looks a little nasty from the pic! I only let it sit in the fridge for 30 mins when usually you let it sit "overnight") 

Cake Batter Ice Cream

To kick off summer we made Cake Batter Ice cream this weekend. We received a Cusinart ice cream maker for a wedding gift 5 years ago (thanks Angela and Ben!) and we use it pretty often! It is super easy to make!

I found the recipe on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/112519690662833683/ 

It was very simple! Instead of yellow cake mix I used Funfetti....because it's fun! 

Here is the mix churning! I let it churn for about 25 minutes:

It is the consistency of soft serve, so I placed it in a plastic container and let it freeze for a few hours.

Oh and Violet added extra sprinkles! 

We ate it after dinner and it was too good, so good that I may have had seconds :) next time I will use less sugar because it was very sweet. But it will be made again...soon, very soon! 

Foodie Friday

In attempts to blog more (for my one adoring fan that reminds me to blog more) I want to start "Foodie Friday"I find it interesting what people eat and food people feed their kids! (Also my kids eat A LOT) im always looking for new food and recipes to try.  Hopefully  every Friday I can post "Foodie Friday" A documentation of the food we eat on Fridays. 

Breakfast

7:30am- This morning was a little crazy trying to make and serve food to everyone! I didn't get a chance to actually take a picture of the breakfast... Violet actually ran away when I snapped this picture. 

Violet- cinnamon and raisin bagel with cream cheese, grapes, and spoon of peanut butter 

Parker- scrambled egg, grapes, cinnamon and raisin bagel

Me- PB and Strawberry tropical strawberry Shakeology 

Snack

10:23am- we all decided we were hungry again 

Violet and Parker- PB and J 

Me- Egg in a hole and coffee 

Lunch

12:30pm- After sorta eating at a friends house we continued lunch outside by the "pool"

Violet and Parker- Mac n cheese, pretzels, string cheese and watermelon 

......apparently they were still hungry an hour later and Violet had cereal w/ blueberries and a qunioa chia seed pudding and Parker had sweet potatoes, grapes and lunch meat. 

2:30pm- once I got everyone down for a nap I made lunch: leftover teriyaki chicken over qunioa 

Dinner

6:15pm- I have been craving salads lately. Maybe because of the warmer weather a crisp cool salad just sounds refreshing and light. 

Violet- cheese quesadilla, strawberries and pork chop bites (not pictured) 

Parker- cheese quesadilla, strawberries, corn and black beans 

Me and Bryson- big ol salad!! Corn, black beans, cheese, egg, tomatoes, and a leftover soy sauce and brown sugar seared sliced pork chop (not pictured) 

Until next Foodie Friday! 

Walks

Yesterday we went for a long walk around the neighborhood. We live in an older neighborhood and often don't see many young people or kids outside. Today we met the sweetest lady mrs Scofield ! She was walking "tiger lily" and "Wendy" (anyone get the movie reference?) Lately violet has taken a liking to dogs. She use to be really scared of them. Tiger lily and Wendy were really gentle and sweet. Mrs Scofield was full of stories and just really nice. I appreciated the company and we walked together. Hope we see her again! 

Violet loved walking with the dogs!
