Welcome to my third post of What I Ate Wednesday, and to the mid-week / Hump Day mark! The weekend will be here before we know it, right….RIGHT?!

I certainly hope so, because we still haven’t watched The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 after I posted this on Instagram…

Yeah, never happened. Going Mom took advantage of Avery accepting sleep and fell asleep with her in the nursery. Just watching a movie is hard when you have a little one, huh? But it’s hard to argue with that, it’s not like we’ll always be able to enjoy those moments with our little ones.

I’m actually envious since nap time has been a struggle lately and Avery never just gives in anymore. Instead, I get what I can only assume are death threats to our mat when I mention the word “sleep”.

Scary, huh?

When she’s not threatening the ultimate destruction of our kitchen mat, Avery has figured out how to fit herself into a slim cabinet in the kitchen. It’s one where I keep baking sheets and other things “safe” for kids to grab at, and also the only one we don’t have child-proofed.

I’m sure most of us have one, or at least had if your kid took over too. Avery has been hanging out at “The Cabinet” (sounds cooler when in quotes, huh?) for months now, but only recently started climbing all the way inside. Here, she’d like to run you through a quick demo.

Oh, hi there. Welcome to my cabinet.

Now you see me….

….now you don’t. Oops!!!

Okay, NOW you don’t.

Boo! And now I’m back!

Yep, that’s been going on a lot over here lately. She might prove useful when I’m looking for that hard-to-reach pan some day. Until then, if it keeps her entertained, we’re happy! And it’s quite entertaining to watch! Here she is climbing in..

Then she tries to keep from being seen.

Rinse and repeat. Fun times as an at-home parent. I actually mean that too.

And now it’s time for another round of WIAW. Thanks to Jenn, for hosting this fun link-up for foodies everywhere!

We’ve been starting the day out with a new recipe I made using NuttZo. See the recipe here and let me know if you make it.

That’s my wonderful work of microwaving in a bowl. Beautiful, huh? Oh yeah, and I always have coffee on hand. Today was the extra free refill of black Pike Place I got at Starbucks. Love the gold card!

My lunch is a combo of all things I cooked recently or have in the fridge that need to be eaten.

Here I had steamed beets, cauliflower and broccoli, slow-cooker salsa chicken, sweet potato with black garlic, and homemade sauerkraut. Lots of randomness, but also lots of goodness!

For dinner, I made a sweet potato and spinach frittata with NuttZo and it was deeeee-licious!

Yes, another one of my fabulous ways to make something in the microwave. I tell ya, it’s a useful kitchen tool and I’d be lost without it. The final product…

We’ll be having this again for sure. Maybe even extra NuttZo next time.  And, as if it’s hard to believe, after dinner snack time was some of my homemade chocolate bread with, yep, NuttZo!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out other tasty eats from foodies that linked up on Jenn’s WIAW party!
