She is still into thrifting so I took her to Montclaire this afternoon and we had fun. Although we didn’t find anything worth purchasing, we got to enjoy rolled ice cream.

Now that both kids are working out regularly, I feel like they notice and appreciate healthy meals a lot more than they used to. This shrimp quinoa bowl is loaded with good fat and protein. 

Kids and I went to a Japanese market this afternoon and we each picked out ingredients to make our own unique combination hand rolls. We tried to come up with ‘who made it best’ but honestly we were hungry and ate them as we were making them. Hence, no picture of assembled rolls. haha.

I love blueberries in the summer and we eat them almost everyday. This morning, I made blueberry compote and topped it on multi-grain toast with ricotta cheese. 

It’s too hot out and I can’t be bothered to turn on a stove. This is your lunch kids. Avocado, sweet corn, grape tomatoes, onions, black beans and cilantro marinated with garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Sweet potato oats breakfast cookies. This is my current favorite breakfast.

It was great to be back here!! So many amazing memories…

Of course, we can’t not have Nam Chows when we are here! We had to drive back home today so didn’t have time to stop at RISD which is super sad but maybe we’ll be back here again and I would have many opportunities? Who knows! 😉

All in all, this was a great road trip, getting kids excited and motivated for thinking about colleges! So glad we got to do this, this summer.

We mostly had to do take out foods during this trip because of having hard time finding restaurants that are pet friendly. Plus, it’s too hot to eat outdoor dinning.

Andrew and I left the kids and Miles at the hotel because we wanted Korean food but there’s no Korean restaurant that is pet friendly. Sorry Miles! So Andrew and I had a quick dinner at Korean Garden restaurant which is only 10 min away. When it’s hot out, I only want to eat Korean buck noodles. Yum.

Then we brought fun foods for kids. 🙂
