The Zucchini FairyIt was a day full of errands. This meant the eggs, toast & coffee arrived in my mouth without much thought as Xerxes prepared them and we dined on the front porch again.

Once Juliette woke up, we packed ourselves into the car, dropped off Xerxes and then headed towards the errands. Juliette announced she needed to “poop”. So, we made a quick detour to Whole Foods. After we managed to get ourselves out of the car and were walking to the store Juliette casually mentioned the sensation had passed. Since getting out of the car is no small feat, we decided we should seize the opportunity with a quick mid-morning snack. After talking her out of a cookie, we settled on a croissant. Not sure we dramatically increased our nutrient in-take with that snack, but at least we could finally move on to the first errand of the day.

By the time we got back home, my blood sugar was feeling a bit low and I quickly made a rather tasty sandwich with the last couple of slices of Marble Rye, some cheese, lettuce from the garden and cucumbers from the Edgewater Farmers Market.

As I started my plans for dinner, I realized I was still hungry. I had some slightly burnt kale that I was meaning to give a new use, so I popped some corn and then sprinkled it generously with the crumbled kale chips, parmesan, olive oil & melted butter. Juliette and I dined on it outside until my fingers were so crusted with goodness that I had to go inside and resume my dinner making duties.photo-29Since I was heading out the door to my appointment, I wanted to get something ready to toss in the oven, while I was away and before Juliette’s very first dance class EVER. I was a ballet dancer growing up, starting as a wee one until I graduated from high school. Then in college, I minored in dance. And post-college until I moved to Colorado I taught ballet at a tiny school in Morro Bay. I loved it! I am excited to share this love with my daughter. Although, having had to deal with many a backstage mother, I want to give her plenty of room to do her own thing.

I chunked up an onion, a couple of beets, and a head of cauliflower. Juliette drizzled them with olive oil, I covered them with salt & pepper and then we tossed it altogether.

While I headed to my appointment, Lulu put it in the oven. By the time I came home, we added some chicken drumsticks and roasted it for another 20 minutes while getting Juliette prepared for her first dance class.

Roasted Chicken & Veg with PestoWe were so excited to take her! When we arrived, other baby bunheads were waiting outside. So, we joined them. And waited. Watched more bunheads arrive. Waited. And waited. Then a huge dump of rain came and we kept waiting. Once we were about 15 minutes into the class we realized the teacher was not arriving. When the rain settled a bit, we all started taking off. The other parent’s said the teacher had never missed or been late before, so we all left a bit concerned, but hopeful for next week.

Xerxes was waiting for a clearing in the rain before he came to the class, but I called to tell him we were heading back. He turned the oven back on to get everything warm again. I cooked up some quinoa and we topped everything with dollops of the leftover pesto from our previous pizza night. It was a simple, delightful dinner that made up for yesterday’s greasier evening.

Sweet and healthy dreams tonight… And maybe you too will get a visit from the Zucchini Fairy!
