I like food

I wanted to share this cute protein reminder. Vegans are not protein deprived! Stop asking how we get our protein! I don't know where this image is originally from but I got it from here 

 This week we were in Massachusetts. We had to visit some of our favorite places while there. Flying Saucer Pizza in Salem, MA is awesome but even better, they have a new menu. We tried out the Silurian, evoo and chopped garlic, Teese cheddar, mac n' Teese casserole, kale, sundried tomato. Insanely good! 

 tofu fro-yo from Kushco Bistro with starberries and oreos mixed in. Elinor probably ate more than half. She was so excited it was pink!

 The best cold brew coffee from Gusto Cafe in Beverly, MA.

 Life Alive!! So excited we got to eat it twice. The emperor with tofu and no cheese. Always my favorite. Elinor loves the vegan kiddie quesadilla and a pink smoothie (eros alive)

The cambridge location has a great kids space on the lower level. I sat with her at the little table while Dave and his friend sat at a nearby table so we could all still talk. It was one of the most pleasant dining experience. She would sit and eat then play again. I even read her a few books while she finished up her food.

We went to Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge, MA too. We only ate treats but for some reason my boston cream pie disappeared before I got a picture. Elinor tried the strawberry ice cream. I managed to get a taste of it before she firmly told me that it is her ice cream. For having a baby in a diner super late at night, everyone was friendly and helpful! Thank you guys for making us feel comfortable with being bad parents and having our child up late at a show!

Do you have a favorite restaurant while traveling?

"my kids!"

Yesterday we were so lazy. Elinor had her dance class in the morning but after that we sat around at home doing nothing. No yoga, very little cleaning and watching movies. I felt a little off and Elinor seemed super tired. I hope we aren't all coming down with something. It seems like everyone we know is sick. Today she still seems tired but I feel better. I think I might have to throw her in the ergo like when she was a baby so she can get some rest. She still naps like a champ in there.

I kind of think I was off yesterday because of how we have been eating. Lots of sweets. Last night we made a healthy bowl like our favorite spot in Boston, Life Alive. Rice, kale, corn, tofu, avocado, miso dressing and nutritional yeast. So easy to make! I think tonight I'm going to make Pho. I hope our garden starts growing fast so we can add all those veggies to our meals.

This afternoon our friends are coming over. Elinor and I have some fun projects to do with them. I miss having little friends to hang with everyday. Elinor loves kids so much and always wants to walk down the street looking for her friends "I need my kids!". I think I need to find some more playgroups for her.

Any Philly friends have any ideas?

picnic date

A couple of weeks ago we went back to our old neighborhood Salem. We aren't far but we miss all the little shops and parks that were walking distance so much. We picked up lunch at life alive and then headed to Salem Common to have a picnic. Elinor loved people watching, it's her favorite! We also went on the swings for a bit.

After our picnic we stopped at the beach. Elinor zoned out looking at the water for so long. This is before she realized she can try to eat sand (which now she does).
