I slept like a log last night so I felt ready to tackle the day as a full time mommy when I woke up. For breakfast, I made myself a frittata with three eggs, nuked frozen broccoli, diced shallots, prosciutto, a dollop of cream-top yogurt, and Fines Herbes seasoning.
After spending an hour jumping on a trampoline with Lil-O at his gym class, we went to Costco and stocked up on essentials. Since the Mountain View Costco is across the street from an In-N-Out burger, the kids and I made a pitstop here for lunch. I ordered a protein-style triple meat burger – hold the spread – with mustard and a whole-grilled onion slice.
Can you believe this baby only cost me $3.80?
We returned home and I put Lil-O down for his afternoon nap. While the little guy slept, Big-O helped me make dinner. I’m always amazed at how enthusiastic he is about helping out in the kitchen. I love that about him.
With Big-O as my sous chef, we made a big pot of curried cream of broccoli soup…
…and sous vide rack of lamb seasoned with Sunny Paris, salt, and pepper.
While I was prepping this food, I was gobbling up macadamia nuts and coconut flakes with abandon. I gotta stop this habit.
I didn’t have to much to do to get dinner on the table – just about everything was already finished. As a result, I had the luxury of watching an episode of Scooby-Doo with the kids before making an additional side of lancinato kale sautéed with bacon and shallots…
…and searing off the rack of lamb in some lard.
Here’s my dinner plate:
I also had a bowl of curried cream of broccoli soup (it’s dairy-free!) and a ½ cup serving of coconut milk for dessert. Not a bad way to end the day!
