Food food food food food!
So many food photos for some reason. I blame the new grill, which we’ve been using daily over the weekend, and we are loving so much.
We’ve got a random assortment of:
- chicken, rice, and bean quesadilla for pep
- grilled flatiron steak with homemade green sauce and pasta e piselli
- burrito bowl (shredded chicken, cheesy rice and beans, green sauce, sour cream, scallions)
- pep’s breakfast for dinner: scrambled eggs, peaches, zucchini hash browns
- grilled bbq drumsticks with pasta e piselli and pear gorgonzola spinach salad
- charcuterie board
- smoked pork butt shoulder taco with lime slaw
- smoked pork butt shoulder nachos
🤤🤤🤤🤤

We bought a Big Green Egg! Technically I bought it through my brother, who got a great deal on it through his work, back in May for Father’s Day. It finally arrived to my brother’s store and he drove up to deliver it to us last weekend. If you’re not familiar, the Big Green Egg is an awesome ceramic smoker/grill, but we’ve put off buying one because they’re pricey.
I don’t get to see a whole lot of my brother, who is five years younger and lives in NJ. We aren’t very close, I think because of a combination of age difference, geography, differences in stages of life, and personality differences. We’re just very different people. That said, it was great seeing him and spending a little time together. I also got to sit and chat with his girlfriend for a while while he helped B put together the egg, which turned out to be nice. The best thing B has made on the egg so far was this incredible spatchcock Peruvian chicken with green sauce. The sauce was done by yours truly, and it was amazing, but the chicken was all him. SO GOOD.
We also took the babes for their first trip to the farm recently! It was such a cool place — a farm about a half hour from us which is free to families to walk around, see the animals, and explore. Pep is learning about farm animals and their sounds right now so it was so cool to show him the cows and pigs and horses and ducks and hear him moo and oink and neigh and quack.
I had my postpartum follow-up obgyn visit and turns out I have healed from delivery “awesomely” so I’m now cleared to go back to life as normal. I’m still going to take it easy with exercise but I’m happy to be heading toward normalcy and being able to do everything I want to do. I’ve not made the progress I’ve wanted to make as far as weight loss — still feeling very mushy after growing and birthing two (giant) boys, so this month I want to change that. Maybe I’ll even start one of those weight loss tracker calendar things that @losingitinjersey inspired me by using a while back. We shall see.
B and I have still been casually house hunting. The house I’ve talked about previously fell through and went to another buyer — probably a blessing. We looked at another one yesterday which was much less of a project and we liked it a lot. Thinking about making an offer. The real estate market is definitely cooling off from where it was even a few months ago but we shall see how it goes. Still very competitive, I’m sure.
What else? Really just surviving the summer duldroms over here. Looking forward to cooler days. Trying to keep the house relatively tidy, which is a serious challenge when you’ve got an 18 month old who LOVES throwing food. This… is not my favorite stage, food-wise. Yikes. Trying to get sleep when I can, which is honestly so much better than it was with pep at this age. Speaking of sleep, pep transitioned to his big boy bed and is no longer in a crib, and it’s been going much better than anticipated. He took to it well and it really hasn’t interfered with his sleep. Once we tuck him in he stays in bed, but enjoys the freedom of being able to get out if he drops his binky or his dear, dear bunny. So far, so good!
All is well on my end, and I hope the same for you all. Soaking up the last month of summer before the best season of the year is upon us.
