^^ The best drink in Cville at the moment is the Hickory Sap at Red Pump Kitchen. Hickory syrup, bourbon, Walnut bitters.
^^ Also from our date night – a pickled pepper pizza and a kale salad!
^^ Victory Garden spotted at Whiskey Jar!! Remember when I worked with them at OpenSky and spontaneously met the artist in Seattle!? Can’t believe a restaurant in Cville has one too!
^^ Breakfast of fried eggs, grapes and half a roll with butter.
^^ Tasting plate lunch. I used to eat carrots and PB all the time! Plus smoked salmon, grapes, and some peppers and pretzels.
^^ Birthday scooter! He asked for one over and over, but he doesn’t seem to want to ride it all that much yet. Maybe it’s just too hot outside : )
^^ The view from the ACAC roof on Labor Day. Pool party was a big success!
^^ Catered salad lunch from Great Harvest!
^^ Fancy panko salmon dinner with zucchini and leftover potato salad
^^ Workout moves in the kitchen!
^^ Back to school oatmeal! Topped with some Great Harvest Harvest Bar!
^^ The cutest 3-year-old there is on his first day back to school!!

As always, your food looks phenomenal, and I can’t get over how much older Mazen looks! Earlier this week, a young nurse told me she’s 4 weeks pregnant and having a great deal of morning sickness. I immediately wrote down BERF for her to review and explained how thoroughly you documented your first pregnancy. I couldn’t believe it was over three years ago! I remember eagerly waiting for a KERF and BERF post then. 🙂
KathEats says
Thanks for the recommendation!
Tonya says
Look at that big handsome boy! Give him all the hugs!
kim says
All the food looks delish- and i do agree about the cutest 3 year old- he is getting so big and so handsome!! Happy back to school Mazen!
Elyse says
I really shouldn’t read your blog while hungry! I want ALL the pizza!
Linda says
Kath – Mazen is adorable!!! My 3 and 5 year old both have that scooter and love it!
Paige says
Mazen is just the cutest! He looks so excited to go to school. Did he choose his outfit? My daughter (3) is very choosy about what to wear.
The view from acac is beautiful. How fun for Mazen to get to go to a pool party on his birthday!!
Kelly says
I love Mazen’s R2D2 helmet! So cute. 🙂
Samantha @ThePlantedVegan says
Carrots and peanut butter..I’ve surprisingly never tried that combo, but I need to! Also, Mazen looks precious on his first day back to school! Love his book bag!
Amanda says
That pizza looks like heaven 🙂
Kate says
Fried eggs are so pretty! Mazen is a total cutie and his scooter is going to be a big hit once he gets the hang of it.
Laura @ Semi-Vegetarian.com says
I love carrots and peanut butter! I used to be a youth group advisor and one of “my kids” like carrots dipped in ketchup. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose!
Tracy says
He sure is a cute 3 year old!!
I learned the deliciousness of carrots & PB from you! It’s still my favorite way to eat nut butter 🙂

I really dislike when ads take over all or part of your pictures. Today, a Hulu ad took over an entire picture and played a short animation with no way of closing out of it. (It closed automatically once it had played).
You take such stunning pictures, it’s too bad the ads detract from them so much. (Ads on the side bar or in the footer, etc., are ok with me. I just hate when they take over your content as well.
Micki says
I had a few ads appear as footers over your photos today. When I tried to minimize them, so I could see the bottom 1/4th of the photo, an ad popped up and covered the entire page. I had to manually re-load the page. I’ve been more and more discouraged when I visit the blog, Kath. I realize these ads are your bread and butter, what put food on your table, but I’m frustrated that these ads have become more invasive and prevent a seamless experience when I visit your site. I agree with the above comment, side bar ads are great! The auto play videos and ads that block the entire site are the issue.

Pizza looks great! We got my 3yo kiddo a scooter in May and it took a while to get used to it, knee pads boosted his confidence after some scrapes. How do you like his Camelbak? We have a PBK metal one that ended up being a total dud, mouth piece broke before school even started.
KathEats says
We haven’t spent enough time on the scooter to really test it out yet, but thanks for the tip. Love our Camelbak bottle!
ErikaMC says
Is Open Sky still a thing? Do you do it anymore? I use to get emails from them but must have unsubscribed or something because I haven’t gotten one forever and kinda forgot about it.
Yum – pizza is on the meal plan now.
KathEats says
They changed concepts 1,000 different times and ended up more like a flash sale site. They never really even said goodbye to those of us who supported them in the beginning. Kind of a disappointing ending!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
Oh wow that first drink looks amazing!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Love a good tasting plate!!! Almond butter or Sunbutter with carrots is amazing too!
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola says
I’m jealous of the pool at ACAC!
Jeanie says
Oh, my goodness! Mazen looks like he’s ready to go to high school. Cutest pictures ever.
Erin says
Mazen is adorable and looks like such a little boy!
jen says
What a proud and adorable back to school boy! My 4 year old just started prek (boy did I cry, but she loves it). We have a water bottle like that too, but it sweats so much it makes a big wet spot in her bag. I think I’m going to shop a bit more and see if there are any good insulated ones out there.
Heather R says
We all have hydro flask water bottles and really love them. They don’t sweat and keep your water cold for up to 24 hrs long
Jess. says
Love the glimpses of your home. Still hoping you change your mind and share another house tour with us. I find them so inspiring. Gorgeous pictures as usual.
Clara says
I remember waiting for the announcement that Mazen had been born. Now he’s three! Crazy! He really is the cutest. 🙂
