…and these Chard Wrapped Brats!
This morning started with a few sips of my husband’s coffee, while I was still half awake, eyes barely open, sitting up in bed. What a lovely start to the day.
Soon after, we stepped outside, I brought Zedekiah on to my lap and we enjoyed a few more sips, a beautiful bowl full of homemade Granola (this recipe is similar, but we added more nuts) and the surprising chill of the August morning. Did I mention how lovely it all was… albeit a brief morning together.
As Xerxes realized he was actually in a hurry and headed off to get ready, I started the task of blending up about a pound of dates with a cup of toasted sunflower seeds and a cup of almond flour. A drizzle of olive oil was needed to get things moving in my cuisinart, but otherwise they quickly became clumpy and gummy enough for smashing into balls. Juliette assisted me by rolling the sticky globs in cocoa powder. Sweet treat: success! This recipe is an even more chocolate-y version of the Date Balls we made.
After we indulged in one or two or three it became clear that a bit more protein would help us get the day started better. So, today I made Juliette her own Egg in a Hole, but ended up sharing it with her instead.

Well if you are one among viagra for cheap http://djpaulkom.tv/going-green-with-the-k-o-m-and-dj-pauls-bbq-rub-sauce/ them who do not want to let others know about it. There were viagra australia online apparent improvements with her other minor conditions. We then headed to our friend’s home for a playdate with our Sunflower Date Balls and the Baba Ganoush from Monday. These were happily paired with our hosts bagels, cream cheese, carrots, fruit, cheese and crackers. We dined and played with all sorts of goofiness, including watching Juliette and her girlfriend’s dressed in princess dresses pounding away merrily with the wooden tool set of hammers, drills and more. A lovely time overall.
Coming home, I had an appointment to dash to just before dinner, so Lulu (Xerxes’ mother) and I got a bit of dinner started including preparing potatoes for the Roasted Smashed Potatoes (I roughly used a variation of this recipe, but without the toppings) and then later she prepped kale to bake into Kale Chips.
When I got home, the potatoes baked long enough to be smashed and oiled up, the kale went in the oven, other veggies were prepped, sauerkraut was steamed and I threw Brats on the grill outside. We nibbled on Kale Chips as the sausages finished, then we rolled them into large chard leaves with our favorite toppings including the sauerkraut, fresh tomatoes, walla walla sweet onions, dijon, and a bit of mayo. And oh yes, that is the photo of tonight’s meal above. I have to say, we have never made these and I loved it! We didn’t have any rolls and there was plenty of big chard in the garden. Really, since sausage is mostly about the toppings, skipping the bread highlighted those in delightful ways. Admittedly, this is extremely messy and very difficult to consume with an infant on your lap, but if you have to settle on the knife and fork method, you will still not be disappointed.
Our evening ended with a few bites of Three Twins Ice Cream, which apparently saves endangered land, too. Nothing like an eco-friendly dessert to end your day!
Sweet food dreams to you!
