What we did this weekend…

We kept things pretty tame over here this weekend and didn’t do anything too crazy or busy.  Friday late afternoon we headed to the Eastside and walked around Hawthorne St. for a bit stopping for coffee, window shopping and enjoying dinner out at TarBoush. Saturday we slept in and then headed to the Portland Farmers Market and then out to The Container Store and Native Foods. Sunday was pretty laid back with just a little early morning shopping at Target and Trader Joes. In the afternoon we walked around and then went for a family run.

What I’ve Been Watching…

I have been overwhelmed with a sick, teething baby and have been using this drama as my outlet.

Neil and I have watched a few good movies together over the past week including Sleep Walk With Me and The Giant Mechanical Man. I have watched 17 Girls (a movie about girls wanting to grow up too fast) and First Position (a movie about amazingly talented kids who have grown up too fast).

Recipes I want to make….

I died when I saw these two bite vegan cheesecakes.

I am craving Ethiopian so I might just have to have Neil make me some of this bread. (yeah he’s the bread man)

I also think this quinoa dish looks pretty amazing.

Where we went this weekend…

We started our weekend with dinner at Verde Cocina.
Saturday we sampled some food carts including Wolf & Bear’s and Homegrown Smoker
Oh and Saturday night we bought a new car.
Sunday we had plans to go to Forest Park and do a little hiking but ended up at OMSI and Hair of The Dog due to the rain.
We also had to deal with a very unhappy teething baby this weekend so a trip to Barista on our way home on Sunday was a must.

Fit posts…

I’m always looking for tips to improve poses, here is a great post on the plank.
One day I would like to be able to do this.

Good Eats..
I need to go to the store and pick up the ingredients to make these bars and this salad.
