This, people, is basically what I did alllll weekend. Chase the kid around the house. She is MOBILE. She couldn't do the stairs on Friday and now she's a pro. And she's going to be 11 months old tomorrow. !!!
Friday night it was just me and Tabby. We had a great time playing and reading stories and we made Soft Black Bean Tostadas, which completely exceeded my expectations. They were very flavorful and Tabby was a huge fan.
Saturday we busted out early so I could have the protective coating put on the front of my car (yawn) and sign some papers they messed up. Then we went to breakfast with my parents. They made Ham Egg and Cheese Fondue. I was supposed to take muffins, but they got left at home in my mad scramble to leave. We spent the rest of the day shopping. I got some clothes for myself at The Limited and some for Tabby at the Carter's store, cuz lord knows that girl would be going nekkid otherwise. We had an amaaaaazing dinner at California Cafe. They had the coolest kid's menu … bento boxes with celery and carrot sticks and excellent food choices (not just your normal hot dogs and hamburgers), including salmon. But Tabby shared my dinner instead … or maybe I shared hers. That girl can eat!
Today we were lucky enough to get Matt back early since his upgrade was handled and he could get the earlier flight out. We made a menu and shopped Target. Then we had a nap and did some Superbowl watching and Gnocchi making. I need to expand my Gnocchi repertoire … I'm thinking that maybe some butternut squash ones. I also have a recipe for BEET gnocchi which totally appeals to me.
Alright … bedtime. Over and out.
It looks like it's time for someone to baby proof the house
. I'll never forget how nervous I was when Lila started cruising, which oddly enough she started before she started crawling. I was constantly afraid she'd lose her footing and bonk her head on a wooden table. Good luck, this is when it truly starts to get fun!
That menu template is awesome! I just printed some out to use for my meal planning. Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to try the tostada recipe. My husband loves all things black bean.
Glad you had such a nice weekend. Wow look at Tabby go.
I love beets!
My mom makes a salad recipe with beets, red beans, garbanzo, red onions and vinegar. Yumm!
I love all your recipes! You make the best food
I need to expand my menu! Tabby is adorable!!
I think that is about the time when lore started up the stairs… and I have to try the tostada recipe!!
