I tried to be creative with food. Today’s breakfast: prosciutto, arugula and grapes on rye bread

Weekend mornings are the only times they can watch TV, so sometimes I let them eat breakfast in the family room. Look at them…they look so focused…

Dinner: Beef ravioli with fresh tomato sauce

Dinner is served~

We went to the city to look at some furnitures today. This is one of my favorite stores in the city. I think I found the one…

oh, I also like you too.

I’ll come back for you, you beautiful chandelier.

Picking out swatches for Chloe’s room. Her new color is turquoise.

Then lunch at Republic

My mom and my daughter 🙂

“Honey, you gotta see this! It’s the most beautiful thing!” Andrew called me over as I walked into the house.

“Mommy mommy, we have a bambi in our lawn!” “Look there’s mommy deer too!” Squeaked kids.

They are the first guests since we moved!

Tonight’s dinner: Stir fried udon noodles with chicken and vegetables.

Happy Friday!

Fresh veggies from local market and my mother-in-law’s garden.

Today, I’m hired by Chloe to be her caterer for her garden party.

She wrote the menus,

made place cards with our names and wrote something to describe us.

Praying for our family…

Reading today’s menu.

Desserts

What a busy and wonderful weekend we had.

We bought some plants for the house at a local farmer’s market.

I also picked flowers from outside of our house.

I’m unpacking some of my art works from college which I haven’t seen in years… Maybe I’ll hang some…

Getting ready to leave for church!

I picked this wheel barrow up from Anthropologie a few weeks ago. My first happy purchase for the house! 🙂

Breakfast

After the service, I had a craving for Jajangmyeon, (black bean noodles) so here we are… feeding my junk food cravings…

The sellers left us this air hockey table which we love!

And some fish too.

Ending the day with a relaxing bath.

Even though I was extremely exhausted from the move, my body just woke up at 5:30am and I was anxious to start cooking again. So I made some blueberry scones and fig & brie grilled cheese  for breakfast this morning. I’m loving all the space in the kitchen!

First dish I made in the new house: Baked pasta with roasted vegetables. Simple, easy and delicious!

We moved in to the house on Tuesday, then had to sleep in our old house in Teaneck because we didn’t close on the house until Wednesday.

By Thursday night, I pretty much unpacked all the kitchen stuff and was ready to cook!
