Hiiiii friends!! Are any of you starting classes today? Hope you packed your lab glasses!!
Flashback to my first day back to school in 2008 🙂
And fueled up with a healthy breakfast! Eggs / peach / almond butter
I was sad to finish off that Wild Friends almond butter. It was a good one!!
I filled the jar to the brim with hot whipped banana oatmeal, raspberry jam, and Cville Cluster Granola
We’ve been practicing our ABCs and painting both inside and outside of the lines. Because both are acceptable in life!
This lunch salad was a cross between a caprese salad and a BLT. Over romaine lettuce I added bacon, heirloom tomato, fresh mozzarella, bacon crumbles, fresh basil, and pesto.
And this one had scrambled eggs, hearts of palm, the last of my garden kale, almonds, and Red Hot Blues.
On the dinner front, Lauren and I cooked a tri-tip steak from Free Union Grass Farm last Sunday night and I ate it all week over salads and leftovers. It was one of the best at-home steaks I’ve ever had!
With crunchy romaine (my latest salad craving) plus buf mozzarella and every herb salad dressing.
And the same thing after soccer late Monday night with a glass of vino : )
And finally, some Belmont Pizza shared with Mazen. The Rialo is SOOOO GOOD! Olive oil and garlic base, sausage, feta, apples, spinach, balsamic drizzle. The balsamic adds the perfect sweetness! Served with a pesto spinach salad.Â
Pardon the after-Mazen’s-bedtime dark photos, but wanted to share my two new fall tunics from Title Nine. I am obsessed with everything they make!
Leggings and boots on the horizon…!
Gina has me craving fall like whoa!
And I found this while looking for inspirational quotes. Turns out it was Tina’s! Love it.
And finally, Brittany had me at S’more with this dip.
Sara says
Happy first day to Mazen!
If you like those tops, I highly recommend Prairie Underground hoodies. Super comfortable, last forever and well made.

I loved the first day of school! That feta and apple pizza sounds like an amazing combo.

All your meals and pictures look wonderful! For that one picture with the eggs and peaches, is that just one egg?
KathEats says
Two I think!

I am always looking for healthy meals to prep for the week, and this is full of some really great ideas! Looks like I need to go do a little bit of grocery shopping in the morning! Thank you for sharing.
