Kale, Cucumber & Veggies OH MY!

What happens when you go to the grocery store and come home with random veggies and need to make a side dish with dinner?

....throw them in a bowl with some garlic vinaigrette and voila! 

I literally eye-balled everything!! If I had to guess I would say I used 3 cucumbers (salad sized), half a squash, half a zucchini, half a bunch of kale (just the tops), and eyeball the dressing and olive oil to taste. It served 4 people and we had leftovers! 

Kale

Cucumber

Zucchini

Squash

Garlic Expressions (salad dressing)

Olive Oil 

Feta Cheese

Let it sit for a while in the fridge as it's best super cold and with the dressing soaked in.  This is just the ingredients I had on hand and for making last minute dinner plans I had to make something delicious. It would be really good with fresh tomatoes, sliced almonds, or anything that you can get your hands on! 

Everyone loved it,

it's delicious and it was even better after sitting all night for leftovers today. 

Delicious, healthy and super yum-yum.

Here's my inspiration - this one is next and it looks amazing.

Chopped Greek Kale Salad

London | 8 Months

AT 8 MONTHS OLD :

• almost two bottom teeth - they're sooooo close 
• army crawling and scooting 
• Said "HI"
• babbles all the time!
• eats everything we eat and more

London is the silliest, funniest, giggliest, happiest little babe you'll ever meet. She smiles when you look at her, laughs when you're playing with her and pretending to get her, and giggles when you tickle her or kiss her toes. She is happiest when she's playing on the floor with her toys, with Lennon and Luke and when mama and daddy are talking to her. She loves EVERYONE! 

FAVORITE THINGS

All of the above.

Eating with her hands, exploring new foods like mac & cheese, orange, eggs, pancakes, chicken fingers, green beans and most recently sand and lake water... (not her most favorite!) She loves being around people and cries when someone leaves the room. She loves taking long naps and sleeping 13 hours a night (who doesn't?). She loves her little pink fuzzy blanket that she sleeps with every night. She loves Sophie, Lennon's stuffed animals and barbies, chewing on lego's (the big ones, don't freak out!) and scooting like crazy toward a cell phone if it's lit up on the floor. She is scooting and crawling better every single day although she's still learning how to get her knees up there to her hands so she's still army-style crawling. It's fun! She is sitting up all alone now and only face plants when she's eager to get something too fast... lol! 

We recently spent the week up north with family and she absolutely loved it. I was so worried that she wouldn't do well being that she is out of her element and sleeping elsewhere which she's only ever done ONCE. But, she proved me wrong and actually did better than she does at home. She napped twice a day for a few hours each time, slept 12-13 hours each night and never made a sound even though the girls and I shared a room and shared a cabin with almost 20 other people. It went so smoothly I shouldn't have doubted her - or myself. We swam in the lake every day and London loved the warm water, boat ride and the company. The company was the best part! Her great-great grandma was loving the snuggles and kisses, she loved feeding her bottles and her great-great-aunt was loving it too! It was a blast. She's totally a water baby just like the rest of the clan.
