i’ve been….
obsessed with eating Greek salads.
Chop Chop Chop & Grill some pita and I’m soo there.
There was seriously a week last month where I ate Greek Salad at least 6 times. No lie.
I made a Black Bean soup (like I’d been craving) for Cinco De Mayo. It was fantastic!
I even made my own little tortilla strips!
Problem is–I started writing down the recipe as I was going and then I started adding soo much other stuff to get the taste & thickness right– that I forgot what happened!
Next time I make it, I’ll remember to be more diligent!
I’ve also been working a lot in the backyard lately…tending to my veggie garden!
I never thought I would get soo excited about gardening!
It’s a healthy obsession! There’s soo much more I want to plant and I am really looking forward to this summer now!
It’s especially fun now that I have a little helper. He loves the cool breezes and all the green!
Cooper is 7 months old already. He has 4 teeth and crawls!
And this weekend I am celebrating my first Mother’s Day!
I have to say that things are pretty good these days!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mommas!

I could eat a salad like that everyday too! It looks perfect and I especially love the grilled pita. Cooper is gorgeous. I love when they only have 4 teeth, it’s beyond cute. If he is crawling at 7 months, you are in for a busy boy! (I have two busy boys.)
Oh boy, I hope you remember that soup recipe- it looks so good! Happy first Mother’s Day and where did you get your big vegetable garden container?
happy first mother’s day lady! love that garden and am sooo jealous!
awww, he is beautiful! gorgeous eyes! happy mother’s day!
Happy first mothers day… I have to say Cooper remind sme of his daddy, when Casey was younger…
Happy Mother’s Day!
Enjoy your special day.
Happy Mother’s Day! : ) I love your garden!
Hi there, I am wondering what is that tub thing in which you are growing your veggies? Nice blog by the way.
Huma
Just wait until he stuffs the dirt, sticks and pebbles he finds in his mouth! And plucks the leaves and flowers off the plants. Those go in the mouth as well. The fun has just begun! (Mine was born last May so we are a couple months ahead of you).
mm! the picture of your greek salad has made me crave greek salads now! Just out of curiousity, what brand of greek dressing do you use?
Jennifer- I actually make my own. I put red wine vinegar, olive oil, sumac, dried oregano in a jar and shake it about!
really? I’m gonna have to try that! thanks so much
Your garden is fascinating — what’s the big, oblong galvanized tub you’re planting in? What a creative idea! I also really love the photos, and wish you could tell us what went into the Greek salad because it’s making me hungry and I just ate!
Becky- we bought the galvanized steel trough at a horsefeed store. In the salad- i normally put tomato, red onion, cucumber, feta- with romaine lettuce. I make a dressing that has sumac (a yummy/exotic spice), red wine vinegar & olive oil. Hope this helps!
oh man, cooper is a doll. I think our little guys are close to the same age. mr. O is 10 1/2 months…
aren’t they the best thing?
