Farm Fresh Meal Plan | July 30th

Last week, I used eggplant, tomatoes, and potatoes from hubby's farm in a few dishes as he has quite the eggplant production this year.  I also pickled some eggplant and made another batch of dill pickles using a recipe from Serious Eats.  (Love that site!)


Monday - Southwest Chicken Salad after Lincoln's final tee ball game of the season!

Tuesday - Paleo Stroganoff

Wednesday - Sheetpan Eggplant Parmesan with Pasta

Thursday - Eggplant and Scrambled Egg Hash

Friday - Flounder, Black Beans, Veggies,* and Bulgar

Saturday - Breakfast: High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Lunch: Sandwiches

Dinner: Leftovers

Sunday - Leftovers

Also, has anyone tried a meal service like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh?  I'm trying to evaluate if something like this would be helpful after the twins arrive or if a meal planning service like Paleo Plan would be better.  I'd love your thoughts!

Tea anyone? (Update: 2 minutes later this turned into a water fight with our "tea". Four pitchers of water later, all kids were soaked and ready for real lunch!) . . . #teaparty #preschoolersofinstagram #saturdaymorning #lovemylincoln #adoremyaria #smittenwithmysalem #harveyeverafter

Farm Fresh Meal Plan | July 23rd

Last week, I used eggplant from hubby's farm in a few dishes as he has quite the eggplant production this year.  I'm expecting the same this week, but I really need more eggplant recipes.  We were not fans of the eggplant parmesan last week.  I canned another batch of pickles, this time adapting an recipe from Serious Eats.  I'm labeling each batch to compare and find our favorite pickle recipe.


Monday - MIL is bringing BBQ for after L's teeball game

Tuesday - Leftover Bowtie Pasta with Farm Fresh Tomato Sauce* and Baked Eggplant*

Wednesday - Leftover Orange Sriracha Drumsticks with Stir Fried Veggies* and Rice

Thursday - Seven Spice Roast Beef with Veggies* and Fruit after t-ball

Friday - Flounder, Black Beans, Veggies,* and Bulgar

Saturday - Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs

Lunch: Sandwiches

Dinner: Leftovers

Sunday - Leftovers

Also, who has Joanna Gaines' cookbook, Magnolia Table??  I know it's not Paleo, but I really want it!  I just think it needs to sit next to my Pioneer Woman Cooks and Pioneer Woman Cooks Dinnertime.  What do you think?

Five on Friday

Hello Friday!

It's that time of the week to share five anythings.


1. Twin Update

We have officially hit 24 weeks today!  The twins are doing great and moving around A LOT.  Bump update coming soon!

Get this Jessica Simpson Maternity Top HERE
And that super cute apron HERE

2. Song of the South Farm

My hubby's market garden/mini farm means lots of farm fresh veggies on our meal plans for the rest of the summer.  Yay!  They are so much tastier than store bought veggies.  Sorry, Aldi.  I still love you.

These cherry tomatoes are looking great! Can't wait to have them on a salad in a few weeks! . . . #songofthesouthfarm #farmfresh #marketgarden #upstatesc #growspartanburg #permaculture #farmlife #knowyourfarmer #eatlocal

3. Maternity Clothes

I'm loving my new maternity clothes.  It's so hard to feel cute and super twino preggo all at the same time, but I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband who took my shopping last week.

  

My current favorite maternity shirt is this Teal A-Line Sleeveless Top.  It's super cute and comfortable.  I'm crossing my fingers that it gets me through the rest of the pregnancy since it's not a stretchy fabric.  Even if not, it may make a great post-partum piece.


4. Twin Boy Nursery Themes

My mom makes the most wonderful quilts for all of my babies, plus all of her friends' babes as well, and she's been asking me about themes for the babies.

Well, I wanted to do a different theme for each of the boys.  It must be hard enough to be an identical twin, so I want to encourage them to be their own unique souls from the start.  But, I also wanted to have something that's somewhat unifying as I decorate their nursery room.

And this week, my five year old helped me decide on themes for the boys.  We considered dinosaurs, robots, and superheroes, but decided on...

Explorers! 

One of the twins will have space exploration for his theme, and one of the twins will have earth exploration for his theme.

    

Now it's time to get nesting and shopping for these little guys.  I'm hoping to post some inspirations and progress on their themes and room in the next few weeks!
