Hello! We had a great week and I’m very happy that now it’s the weekend and we have nearly zero plans. Well, we only have plans that feel easy and enjoyable. Yay.

Andrew and I had a much-overdo date night. We had a super fun meal with peking duck bao.

It also came with a lettuce wrap app.

My mom and I are working on a mural for the playroom. I asked her to draw the flowers and I’ve been chipping away at getting it painted. It’s looking better and better each day. Ella mentioned wanting to paint the ceiling rainbow and I love the idea, so we’ll probably do that too.

I had a couple friend dates throughout the week. Coffee date with one with a chocolate croissant.

And then Torchy’s with another friend, another day. Tacos + queso + chips for me.

My dear, treasured friend had super sad news, so that night, since my heart was aching for her, I could only stomach oatmeal and eggs for dinner.

An easy snack lately has been half a turkey sandwich.

The girls wanted to go to Chick-fil-A, so we scooted by for lunch. I wasn’t really feeling it so just got grilled nuggets and the yogurt parfait.

Other meals out…one night I picked up some quesadillas to eat on my 40 min commute home.

Froyo for dessert after lunch one day.

Other dessert-y snacks…I baked for the first time in our new house: Halfway bars (minus the meringue, mostly because it’s a hassle to make).

Yum.

Steak fried rice for dinner one night.

For lunch had a pan-fried piece of naan (just olive oil poured into a skillet over medium heat and a piece of naan placed in it until crispy…super good. Top with salt & scallions.) + pulled pork + oranges.

Pasta + Bolognese + focaccia + balsamic glaze.

One day I didn’t know what to eat for lunch, so I ended up just making a couple packs of maple & brown sugar protein oatmeal.

french toast + powdered sugar. I’ve been OVER eggs for breakfast this week.

another breakfast = nutella crepe.

And, many lattes. I keep waiting for our espresso maker to die on us so I can buy a newer fancy one, but this thing just keeps on kicking.

Hope you have a good weekend :)
