TGIF! I’m SO happy it is the weekend and SUPER excited to have another niece! My sister-in-law had her baby this morning!! It was so cute, we talked with my niece tonight, and she was such a proud older sister that the first thing she said was, “Mina (what she calls me), I have a beautiful baby sister and she looks like me!”
After hearing such great news, our day only got better by taking Keenan to see Greg and Steve in concert. If you haven’t heard of the awesome duo, they produce and perform children music across the country. I don’t know how they still do it, because they were around when I was in preschool. I remember taking field trips to see them! We have a few of their CDs, and Keenan LOVES listening (and dancing) to them. Seeing Greg and Steve in concert was a real treat for Keenan. He was mesmerized by them, the lights, the music (especially, since they play the guitar) and all of the kids that were in the audience. He was dancing and bouncing to the beat the whole time!
Anyhow, since it is Friday, it is time for another edition of Friday Favorites!
Favorite Moments:
– Making Valentine’s Day cards with Keenan.
So proud of his cards!
– Keenan making towers out of our funnels!
Keenan was so serious about making his “funnel towers” and playing with my husband’s empty vitamin box!
– Taking Keenan for a ride on his trike and he peddling all by himself for the first time!
Favorite Eats:
– Cilantro Lime Spaghetti Squash with Chicken
YUM!
Healthy comfort food for a cold winter night!
– Paleo Cinnamon Apple Pancake
A new household favorite for breakfast!
Well, it is time to set-up and prep for my cousin’s finance’s bridal shower that my mom and I are hosting tomorrow. We are making a tomato basil soup with a strawberry spinach chicken salad on the side. I’m bummed that I can’t taste my mom’s dessert, a wonderful berry torte with homemade whipped cream. She is making it now and it smells and looks SO good!
Have a great weekend!
Questions: What was one of your favorite moments and eats from this week? Are you planning to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday? If so, are you making any special foods? My husband isn’t really into football, so we probably won’t be watching it, except for the half-time show and commercials!
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. What an exciting time for you & your family <3 Keenan's Valentines Day turned out fabulous. I have a feeling that it's going to look fabulous on Grandma & Grandpa's fridge 🙂
Thanks, Jessie; we are very excited! Keenan can’t wait to give his Valentine’s Day cards to the grandparents!
The half-time show and commercials are the best part! We’re getting together with another couple, trying out a few new appetizer recipes (she’s a foodie, too) and hanging out to watch the game. Should be fun! Have a great weekend!
It sounds like fun! Even though my husband isn’t into football, it would have been fun to go to a Super Bowl party and try some new goodies!
That cilantro lime chicken looks awesome- I’m adding it to tomorrow’s menu plan. 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
Nice! I hope you enjoy it! My husband already asked when we were going to have it again! 🙂
Oh how I wish my hubby wasn’t that into football. We have to watch it EVERY Sunday as well as Sports Center throughout the week during football season. So you better believe we’ll be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow! I’d much rather be shopping but… at least I’ll get to visit with friends and watch the kids play together 🙂 One of our favorites from this week was meeting up with you guys at Art Beast! So fun!
Meeting up with you guys was one of our favorites last week, too! I hope you had a great time at your Super Bowl party yesterday!
Hello~ I was wondering if you could share your paleo latte that you make with me. Or how you make it. Thank you!
Heather
Sure! I warm about 1/4 cup of vanilla unsweetened almond milk with 2-3 Tbsp of dark chocolate almond milk (sometimes more, if I want it more chocolaty) in the microwave for 35-40 seconds. Next, I use my areolatte milk frother to froth the milk. Lastly, I pour my coffee in the mug and gently mix/fold in the milk with the coffee. For my coffee, I either use our French Press (using regular grind), or our stove top percolator (using espresso grind). Let me know how you like it!
