Leftovers from last year’s garden

On account of all the cake I’ve been eating, I decided to kick my butt into high gear and went to stroller strides on Monday AND Tuesday.

I had extra time in the morning before we left the house so I made a huuuuge batch of pancakes.  Enough for at least 3 days.

It felt so good to work out hard and then I came home and had heaps of leftovers from my parents’ house for lunch.

Kale, lentil salad, candied walnuts, roasted Brussels sprouts, avo, etc.

Put it all together and you have the most amazing lunch of all time.  Or at least in the top ten.

Yes yes yes.

Since it is Spring break this week, and (for now) we have no plans, we spent the afternoon getting our garden planted!

Oh man was it a long day, weeding, churning the soil, going to ACE, lugging all the new soil back, planting, setting up the drip, etc. And it was beautiful outside!!!  I worked up quite a sweat.  My helpers weren’t as helpful as I’d banked on 😉

More leftovers for dinner – some harvest salad and Vietnamese salmon. Yum!

Kyle was out of town, so it was such a huge help to have food all taken care of from the feast the day before.  I will happily eat salmon leftovers back to back days until the end of time.

Carrots much?

This is the yield from our old planter.  They were too hard to get out this Fall, but we had to dig them all out to use the soil so now we have all these cute little guys.

I spent a solid HOUR scrubbing them the next day, and I’m not sure if I will plant carrots again because that was quite the effort for these weird nobby little guys.

The next day was more of the same.  I had a salad and (the rest of) this goat gouda for lunch.

And then dinner was more leftovers, in the form of carnitas bowls with rice, cabbage, avo and this pork.  No photos because I was too busy getting us all squared away.
