I had the idea pop into my head to start a regular post series to share what we’ve been eating around here. One of the most common conversations I have with other moms is about what we’re making for dinner! It’s hard to keep up with meals with little kids underfoot. I’m hoping these posts will spark some ideas and also remind me of what to cook when I get in a rut.

Here are a few things that we ate over the last few weeks.

Breakfast 

French Toast , topped with maple syrup and banana. Before school started, we had a lot more time in the mornings. I love making french toast with day old bread, and it’s surprisingly pretty quick.

Lunch

Red Lentil Soup over rice, we also tried it over acorn noodles and it was my favorite. Soba noodles would be great too, even your favorite pasta. This is one of my go-to lentil soup recipes, it’s so easy and has a surprising amount of flavor.

Dinner

Spaghetti with my beef bolognese recipe. I really need to share the recipe soon!

Somen noodle salad, I had a great big beautiful head of lettuce from the farmers market that I tossed the noodles with and I also added julienned carrots. The link is to the dressing I used, I prefer white vinegar and you can sub honey for the sugar.

Bibigo potstickers from Costco were a big help this week (and lately in general) and we ate out 2-3 times.

Treats

I try to make one, fun treat each week. This time, it was my favorite chocolate chip cookie.

What I Bookmarked

Sanity Saving One Pot Pasta, anything to save time, right?

The dressing from this Korean Chicken Salad looks so good.

Rhubarb season is over now, but for next year: Almond Rhubarb Picnic Bars

I’m intrigued by this Palak Paneer recipe

To use up all that zucchini, Summer Squash Pizza.
