Happy Friday, friends! I’ve been into soft tacos this week – anyone else? I made this breakfast a couple times in a row because it was so yummy – a tortilla + melted cheese + wilted spinach + scrambled eggs + black beans + avocado (added after this pic was taken – I almost forgot it!). Plus some unpictured cherries on the side.

Save Recipe

Riese had a deconstructed version – black beans + avocado (mashed onto her bendy baby spoon) + scrambled eggs. We are still doing baby led weaning (more details on how we got started in this post: our experience with baby led weaning), although the foods that she actually eats/takes down the most of are not really finger foods like this. She didn’t actually eat much of this – just played with it/mashed it around – but I figure exploring textures is part of the process! So far her favorite food is plain whole milk Greek yogurt mixed with peanut or almond butter. She legit eats a lot of it! We’ve also discovered she likes pouches, and those are really awesome for feeding her while out and about vs. just at home, so I’m going to pick up some more of those at the store this weekend. The vast majority of her intake is still breastmilk, as I know it should be until she’s roughly 1 year old, but she has started stretching out the time in between feeds a little bit now that she’s taking down more solids. Anyway! For pouches, I’m looking for ones that are less sweet and with some protein/fat vs. just plain fruit – any faves I should look for?

For lunch that same day, I had a couple more tortillas – I needed something really fast but filling because we went to a stroller workout group in the morning and I was starving by the time we got back. I threw two tortillas, some spinach, black beans, and grated cheddar in the microwave together, then added some salsa and avocado on top. Done!

For dinner that night we had BLTs with a fried egg, avocado, spinach, and cheese. This was so good – Matt makes a mean sandwich. And we had leftover bacon from the weekend that needed to get eaten! Breakfast for dinner is always a win.

As for fitness the rest of the week, the girls and I got back on the boot camp/strength training train! It had been about a month or so since we had done a boot camp because we’ve all been traveling a lot lately! We met up for one of our usual faves yesterday morning; here we are foam rolling after class. This has become a nice routine – we always stretch out and foam roll together after class, which is obviously good physically (and the only time I consistently foam roll), but also fun because we get a little more time to chat. 🙂 The move I’m doing in the bottom right is an especially good one for runners – really gets into those glutes! Try it!

Baked & Wired coffee shop is on our walk back to the car, so Chelsea and I treated ourselves to lattes and a savory scone to share. The scone was goat cheese and rosemary – so delicious! Great flavor combo.

It was such a beautiful morning we took the extra long way back to the car and took a quick walk along the waterfront – always love this view.

As for this morning, I wasn’t planning on doing a workout, but I was up at 5:30 to feed Riese, and when I was done she went back to sleep and Matt was sound asleep and I knew I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep myself, so I decided to treat myself to an early yoga class. My body felt really stiff and banged up from the stroller workout Wednesday followed by the boot camp yesterday so this felt amazing! So glad I went. It was a nice flow, but not intense at all and with more of a restorative focus, which was perfect.

I will end this post with a request! I thought it would be fun to mix it up and share some quick meal photo ideas from you guys here on the blog! I make a lot of the same things so I know I would appreciate some fresh ideas, and I figure you all would too. I’m not looking for recipe links or anything complicated – the meal ideas should be really fast and easy and just require a brief explanation. If you’d like to contribute, please send a picture of the meal (can be breakfast, lunch, a snack, or dinner) + a short description of how to throw it together to me via email at [email protected]. I’ll share a round up of the ideas in a few weeks – maybe in one post or maybe multiple depending how many I get! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with. 🙂

Have a great weekend!

    For pouches, we use the Plum Mighty 4 - they have vegetables and some sort of protein so they are getting more than just sugar. We get a huge batch every week at Target - they are cheapest there and consistently have 10% off Plum products. https://www.plumorganics.com/products-list/tots/mighty-4-blends/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkMbaBRBAEiwAlH5v_uAVcvwE4ybgmiKGwoPMcu8iDZYwQ2pilQgbE3c2hIQ9nYTrRbpM9RoCx_EQAvD_BwE

    Anne, I’ve been reading your blog for along time, and I really enjoy your IE posts, Love hearing about your workouts, and think your baby is adorable. BUT...you lost me at “leftover bacon.”

      Meaning we should have eaten it all when it was made because it's so awesome? Or meaning you think leftover bacon is gross?

        Hah, fair question. Because bacon is so delicious I never have any left over! (I'm sure leftover bacon is also delicious.)

    I loved Baked & Wired when I was living in D.C., but I almost always got their delicious cupcakes. Too good to pass up. I also loved walking around that area in the summer--it was always beautiful! Also, that BLT sounds amazing. I will definitely have to try that out. Have a great weekend!

    Have you thought about making your own pouches using reusable pouches? I bought ours off Amazon and they work really well. Better for the environment as you can't recycle pouches and you know exactly what's in them!

      Yeah I was thinking I'd do half and half - make some of my own when I have time, and buy some for when I don't! Do you mind sharing the reusable ones you bought? You like them? Also, feel free to share any of your fave pouch recipes... def open to ideas! Thanks!

    I love the pouches from Sprout Organic Food. http://www.sproutorganicfoods.com/babies#8-months-and-up They have a good mix of vegetables or fruit depending on the pouch, fat, and protein (both meat and vegetarian based). None of the pouches I’ve seen have added sugar and also no extra thickeners or stabilizers etc that I’ve seen in some other brands. I also love the variety they have although not all their products are always available in my grocery store. I’ve had some good luck on amazon. And my daughter loves them! She’s ten months. So convenient when you’re in a situation that you can’t clean up a huge mess when they are done eating!

    I like Ella’s Kitchen pouches the best. They have a couple that are all beans and veggies. They are also thicker/chunkier so it helped my older son transition from purées to finger foods gradually (he struggled with textures)

    If tonight's quick dinner turns out well, then I'd love to send it and contribute to your post! All of your food really inspires me, though because it's quick and easy! I love how go-with-the-flow you can be and really put to use simple ingredients that transform into a fabulous meal. Have a great weekend!

    These pouches worked well for us except for one thing: cleaning tiny bits of spinach out of the bottoms - nearly impossible even using a tiny cleaning brush. So all that to say, if there's a better option suggested go for it! But these did the job otherwise. https://www.amazon.com/Little-Green-Pouch-Reusable-Pouches/dp/B06XRKLBLR/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1532133082&sr=8-6&keywords=Green+pouches&dpID=11tf61Th3cL&preST=_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

    These pouches are Amazon's choice and are cheaper than the little green pouches for what it's worth. Perhaps easier to clean? https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Brezza-Reusable-Storage-Pouch/dp/B01M7Z22N9/ref=pd_sbs_75_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01M7Z22N9&pd_rd_r=3c2d3128-8c7f-11e8-9f96-9391f60fc1b0&pd_rd_w=jDSna&pd_rd_wg=ErdeC&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=8702255303818932494&pf_rd_r=4F1W0DM1K07NVYF2V4N5&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=4F1W0DM1K07NVYF2V4N5

    We make our own pouches using the Kiinde storage system. Kiinde works for us because it can be used for both breastmilk storage and food storage. We find that you can reuse the Kiinde food pouches several times.

    So glad parents these days are aware of the texture thing! Feel like that was not really the case when we were growing up. Some of us struggled and still do, lol!

      Seriously! I've had a lot of conversations lately about how the foods I can't stand to eat are because I can't handle the texture. Certain mushy textures in fruits and vegetables just make me sick.

          Yup! certain foods have gotten better or I've figured out how to eat them. I still can't fathom eating a banana, for example, buy I love them if they're blended well in a smoothie or nice cream.

    Hah so my daughter won’t eat any of the “savory” pouches...they have to have some kind of apple or pear in them. Our favs are the ones from Aldi! They are just $0.79! I stock up on the ones that are Apple and some kind of veggie :) Also your daughter is just precious!!!

    Hi Anne, I can’t give any suggestions about commercial pouches, as I’m in Australia! We use them, but I also make a lot of my own stuff and use reusable pouches, the brand I like is an Aussie one, Sinchies. In terms of what to put in them, my 10 month old loves a soup - I basically use whatever veggies I want to use up, with some stick, garlic, onion and tomatoes, then add canned beans or chickpeas at the end with some baby spinach, blitz it up in the NutriBullet and away we go! I put a pile in the freezer and they’re great for lunches, even if you’re out and haven’t full defrosted them, you can usually get a cup of hot water in most places to put them in which speeds it up! She loves them to suck out herself even if only slightly defrosted, and the coolness helped when she was teething! My elder daughter also loved frittata, if you haven’t already added that to your BLW repertoire - here’s my post about it! https://growcookfreeze.wordpress.com/2016/01/31/an-ode-to-fritatta/
