Taco Tuesday...

Starting to look into meatless, non-mother/non-face food options that are also tasty and satisfying.

I saw a recipe on Trader Joe's Instagram awhile back for their bottled Autumn vegetable soup, baby kale, and gnocchi. Tried it. Found out I like baby kale a lot. Love gnocchi still. Wasn't a huge fan of the soup. But, it wasn't terrible and no one died from it.

So today I thought I would try out a recipe for lentil tacos from Taste of Home.

We added corn and cooked, brown rice to the lentils. The mouthfeel and chewiness factor was good. I like the flavor.

For shells, we used Trader Joe's jicama taco shells. I tried a tostada and a taco. The jicama shell was surprisingly sturdy and not too "different" tasting. Would totally do them again.

The picture comes from Taste of Home's recipe page. They used corn taco shells instead of the jicama. I didn't take a picture of my taco before slicking it down. 

Here is a link to the recipe for safe keeping....

Memories

Oliver, I remember how small you were. How you whined and cried when you were left alone in your box/kennel while you were being house trained. I remember how you took to Cambridge, wanting to be with him everywhere. I remember sitting with the two of you, having structured together time; Cambridge was not fond of the new puppy and needed encouragement for patience, lessons on sharing, and reminders not to nip at the puppy. You hated going somewhere Cambridge did not go and wanted to go everywhere he did. You were always eager to love, ready for a pat on the head, playtime, offering a lick to the hand, even when I didn't put my best foot forward. Even when I scolded. What a small fluff you were. Loyal and anxious and mischievous. Wanting to climb into laps. Wanting more food, more time, more love. Always thinking you were still a puppy. Wanting to be the center of everything. Stealing toys just to steal them. Camping trips with you and Cambridge in the tent with me because I was wo...

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

A Day at the Zoo

Last Saturday, before the sudden cold snap, we took a family to the Hogle Zoo. The weather was perfect--not too hot, not too cold. The animals were out and about. The zoo wasn't too crowded, and we got to see them feed a penguin fish. RD loved the lizard his dad told him was a dinosaur. IC said she liked the zebras the best. In this picture, AL was a little nervous at first when the giraffe started to lower and tried to pull herself up the pole until she realized that the animal would rise up and sink down. Then, she was fine. She had a ball going around in circles and waving at everyone as we passed. The rest of my nieces and nephews who were old enough to care about riding on a carousel had ridden the turn before. What a fun day! Becca thanks for sharing this picture!
