Little bit of life lately with salmon, sunshine, and seasons!
Hiiiiiiiiiii!
And peek-a-boo!!
We came home from the beach last week to a fridge that looked like this (and that’s after we had to toss out the funky milk!). You know I always say that a well-stocked fridge is of utmost importance!!
Note: the bottom drawer is all alcohol – lol!
I had a Splendid Spoon lunch the next day straight from the freezer! This was their butternut squash noodles with broccoli, and I was a fan!
And then Blue Apron arrived!
Just as I was enjoying my lunch, Blue Apron arrived! What excellent timing for our meals for the week. *Sponsored by Blue Apron
On the menu: Pesto Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
This is a repeat dish that I ordered again because I loved it so much!! That pesto sauce – yum!
What Season(ing) Is It?
It’s Weeknight Spice seasoning! A Blue Apron classic way to jazz up any dish with onion powder (!), garlic, parsley and paprika. You can actually buy it from the Market!
Sweet & Spicy Chicken with rice and sweet peppers
This sauce is somethin’ else!
Blue Apron has a lot coming this fall: wellness meals, a la carte Add-ons, WINE, and holiday-themed boxes. Check back to this post for a feature on the Wellness Meals: Refresh Your Routine.

Salmon Season Continues with Smoked Salmon For Lunch
We restocked the fridge, eventually, and picked up some smoked salmon for my lunches! This is a smoked salmon wrap with cream cheese, peppers, and crispy fried jalapeños on top. And a side salad!
Smoked salmon wrap Take 2
I used some of the leftover pesto sauce from the Blue Apron salmon – totally made the dish!
Also on the sandwich menu: BLTs! Our garden is still going, and Thomas has been making bacon each week to have on hand for sandwiches. One thing that is required: extra mayo.
PS. Did you know our local brewery Champion has a Duke’s Mayo collab beer that is perfect to pair with a BLT!? Sadly I didn’t have one with my lunch.
Parmesan Crisps FTW
Salads topped with parm crisps (from Trader Joe’s or Costco) are my jam lately. Those and truffle almonds!
Pumpkin Spiced Breakfast
You know it’s pumpkin season! Yogurt + Pumpkin Spice Cheerios + Almond butter + Banana!
Hot Eggs, Cold Grapes
Warm breakfasts are making a comeback. It’s almost egg + oatmeal season!
What’s New With The Boys
It’s football season…
And baseball time!
Mazen has been doing really well!!
Puzzle Season
He loves his new Lovevery puzzle!
And this USA puzzle is super hard – but he can do it!
Hard at work
As for me, it’s walking season!
I LOVE to walk and am glad the heat has broken!! I’ve been walking the boys to school. At the beach I walked every day. And greenway walks are so peaceful.
And finally….
It’s Survivor Season!!!!
SO GLAD IT’S BACK! Season 41 is underway – tune in!! Best show ever.
Ellen and I enjoyed Jeni’s ice cream while doing our draft with Hillary on Zoom.
These are the cutest little soup and side bowls by Our Place! They stack and match the Always pan. Perfect for some ice cream time.

Jeni’s Icecream is from Columbus! One point Ohio! 🙂 My son and I are working through all the flavors. Tonight we are comparing pumpkin from Jeni’s and two other Ohio ice cream brands. #superhealthy
Kath Younger says
Jenis is the best!!!
Lindsey says
Oh if I could take a nap on that covered deck! You can feeeel the summer breeze through the photo. This is such a great season to be outside in the fresh air.
Beth says
Have you tried TJs pumpkin butter in plain yogurt? So good especially with chopped up fall fruit & fall spice cereal or yogurt. Yum!!! And yes to finally enjoying walking again in Virginia. May no more 90* days return until June!
Kath Younger says
Years ago but I need to go pick some up!! Their pumpkin butter is the best!
Erin says
This is totally random…but what is Birch wearing under his sleep sack these days? My 2-year old LOVES hers and will probably sleep in it forever (!). Up until now we’ve been doing short/long sleeved onesies but we’re over things with snaps. Do regular PJ tops ride up…?!
Kath Younger says
He wears a regular pajama shirt and just his pull up underneath in the summertime. And we add pajama pants in the winter time. As far as I know the shirt don’t ride up enough to bother him.
Ashley says
Greenway = 1 part pretty; 1 part you’re about to be kidnapped and murdered in the woods.
I mean….right?
Maybe I’ve been listening to too many true crime podcasts but I am not down with all the thick woods just barely off the side of the path!
Kath Younger says
Haha it’s not as secluded as it seems!
