"a portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013"

we've started solids over here. so far there hasn't been a thing this girl doesn't like. she's a fan of avocado, banana, watermelon, apples, and honeydew melon.

reasons why i'm going to miss nashville

#8

bobbies dairy dip.

the best hamburgers

milkshakes

fried pickles

and dipped ice cream cones

of. your. life.

taco night

since bennett and i are becoming quite the cooks

joke... but we're trying

we decided to make tacos the other night.

the were so delicious!
and it was really pretty simple.
we seasoned beef and put them in hard taco shells
with cheese,
mexican roasted corn,
lettuce,
bennett's special chili sour cream,
and topped it off with taco sauce.

although, i will say
the orangina margaritas were my favorite part.
i'll have to post that recipe sometime
because they were to die for
...i might have had more than one.

food matters

bennett and i watched this documentary last night
and we were speechless at the end.
oh. my. gosh.
goodbye sonic, taco bell, mc donalds
and pretty much everything else in our kitchen.
seriously, goodbye.

things are about to drastically change around here
as to what we are eating.

watch it.
and after you're finished,
you can watch this documentary
to see how screwed up hospitals are
when it comes to delivering babies.

a lovely little date night

the other night
bennett and i went on a little date to the franklin mercantile
(one of our favorite restaurants and where we had our rehearsal dinner)
and i had the most delicious dinner of my life.
seriously.
i usually don't care much about food
but this meal....
let me just tell you.

we had a bottle of my favorite white wine
and started off with bruschetta.
then i had grilled asparagus
port glazed salmon
sweet potato cakes
and for dessert, chocolate cake.

i mean, i was freaking out.
bennett couldn't even believe it...
i cleaned my plate!
that never happens.
a few bites into it,
i was already getting sad because i knew it would all be over soon.

after dinner
we stopped by the national folk festival for a bit.
benn grabbed a beer
and me, a glass of wine
and we happened to run into a couple friends and their adorable baby
which was a lovely surprise
(although it made my baby fever even worse...)

it was definitely a date night i'll always remember.
so simple and perfect.

**confession. i used bennett's iphone to take the instagram photos. i PROMISE they will rarely show up on here. please don't hate me...**

fresh summer salad

i don't think i have ever posted food or a recipe on here

but this summer salad is far too delicious not to share.

all you need is:
fresh baby spinach
a granny smith apple, cut into thin slices
a few strawberries, cut into small pieces
feta cheese
almonds
and marzetti white balsamic dressing

it is so easy
and so good.

bon appetit!
