Here’s what this past week looked like:
Spent last weekend in Portland.
With two of my dear friends from college.
We ate our way through Portland (I’ll share more of that soon!)
One of the cool things we did was get our aura portraits by Radiant Human.
I have a red-orange aura.
: D
HA!
When I was a kid I spent a few years with these twins named Jenae & Jennifer. Their grandma used to pack their lunches and the two of them had cinnamon sugar tortillas almost every day. Took me awhile to weasel my way into getting them to share one with me and from then on I was hooked. I remember coming home from school and trying my hardest to recreate them. Master of the microwave, I was not. They always ended up crunchy because I didn’t know you could microwave something for less than a minute.
This snack is now a part of Cooper’s childhood. Sometimes he has it for breakfast and sometimes as an afternoon snack for school. If our tortillas aren’t pliable I pop them in the microwave for like 8 seconds to soften them up. I spread salted butter evenly on top and sprinkle cinnamon sugar lightly over the butter, followed by an extra dash of cinnamon. Then I roll them up like little cigars and cut them up. I find that cutting them into little bite sized rolls makes me think I’m eating mini cinnamon rolls…they’re doughy and delicious.
Cream of Spinach Soup!
I found out recently, after almost 9 years of marriage, that my husband doesn’t really get excited over soup. WHAT? I feel like we should have talked about this in our marriage prep class. That doesn’t stop me from making it…and making him eat it.
I’ve been on a soup kick lately and he’s been along for the ride. First with the Sidekick Tomato Soup and now with this Cream of Spinach Soup! Really, I think I just want a good excuse to eat croutons…Which he’s not super into and that’s fine because it means more for Cooper and I (we both have the crouton loving/crust on pizza is the best part gene).
Next up, I think I’m going to make a batch of Pasta Fagioli. The cold weather practically BEGS for it.
Even though this recipe has cream and butter in it, I feel like it’s gotta be good for you. LOOK AT THAT GREEN COLOR. With almost TWO POUNDS of spinach packed in, it’s practically a salad. A creamy dreamy warm salad/soup…with croutons 🙂
Here’s what this past week looked like:
Family day date up north. We hung out at Lynmar Estates– one of our favorite places!
Shadowed
Such a beautiful day.
This is the pose he chose.
Walking across the bridge.
Teaching him about light & shadows.
We had fun throwing rocks at the numbers. The bird was obviously gone when we did it.
