Little girl clothes I’m dreaming of…

I peaked at Matilda Jane’s new line the other day. And boy, the girls would sure look cute in these dresses …

New curtains

It can only go up from here

It’s still morning and so far today:

• Eva got up at 5 a.m. for a feeding. I don’t know why. Growth spurt? Or maybe she needs to eat more at night.
• I traded my workout for sleep and feel so slow and lethargic! I thought it would be better for me to get more sleep. But now I totally regret it.
• Ella broke a cute little hand-painted vase I got on my honeymoon in Mexico.
• And I finally, finally got the girls in the car today and Ella had to potty – and I mean one of her 20-minute sessions.

CSA

I’ve talked a while to friends about wanting to try out a program called CSA – community supported agriculture – and I finally have done it. Basically it’s like a co-op where you pay a price upfront and get a shipment of food once a week. In this case, it’s locally-grown, organic produce.

And so far, it’s been very fun.

First of all we got the small allotment which is enough for two adults and it’s $24 per week. I think this is very good – look at organic prices at the store – it’s easy to spend that much.

And so far we’ve already tried some new dishes and have cooked some veggies I never buy – like beets.

A few dishes we’ve had lately:

Roasted veggies – sliced up zucchini, squash and onions drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked in the oven. Yum.

Chicken stir-fry with julienned zucchini and squash. (Not only do we have zucchini and squash through the CSA but Steve has grown some good ones in his garden)

Cucumber, tomato salad – chopped up with green onions, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roasted beets. (wrapped in tin foil sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked – do you see a trend here?)

Sauteed zucchini and squash over pasta with chicken strips.

And I can’t wait to try some zucchini fritters that are in the Food Network magazine this month!

Now, does anyone know what you do with a leek?
