Here’s what this past week in TAHOE (!!) looked like:

Three Meals and a Cookie adapted my Thai Corn Coconut Soup
Bananas + Peanut Butter + Chocolate
When I’m looking for a sweet/satisfying snack, THIS IS IT. If you’re looking for justifications for this indulgent snack, peanut butter has protein, banana is a fruit and chocolate has antioxidants. I may or may not use a bowl when I’m having this snack….a spoon is all you need.
Raspberry Mango Ice Cream Cake
Oops, I did it again. I got lost in the {ice cream cake} game.
They’re just so darn easy, I couldn’t resist.
This time I went for COLOR. I wanted the ice cream cake to be fruity and have a topping instead of fun stuffed inside. So, I went with mango sorbet, raspberry sorbet and topped it with vanilla ice cream and a big handful of toasted coconut.
Oh my word, what a glorious combination! Just that little bit of vanilla ice cream in there makes it feel super decadent. The mango & raspberry are tart so it’s a nice balance. Then you have the crispy coconut! It’s dangerous how simple it is to make…
Fresh Spring Rolls
When I was young I absolutely loved Taco Night and Hamburger Night. You know why? It was all about customizing and getting EXACTLY what I wanted for dinner. I’ve learned that as a parent, these types of dinners are so nice when you have picky eaters to feed. Fresh Spring Rolls to the rescue!
Not into shrimp on your spring roll? Don’t worry, I’ll make you one with out.
Want a lot of mint? I’ve got you covered. Noodles only? Let’s try that. And weird!
I’m the one that goes for the avocado in my spring roll. Casey goes classic and Cooper does it all sans avocado & shrimp. We all get exactly what we want. There’s so much comfort in that.
