Summer Breakfast Scramble

Last week our upick option at the farm was kale. It was way out in a field that required quite a bit of a walk, but the wonder of kale makes it all worth it. Colin hitched a ride back on the front of the stroller, which is always a nice chorus of James screeching and Colin complaining that he's kicking him. At the end of the day, we had a big bunch of kale I've been making into chips and sneaking into their smoothies.

Friday morning we went out for a family run. Thanks to a big hill and a big stroller filled with big kids, all being pushed by Jon, I was able to pull ahead of the crew for all of 10 yards or so before they smoked me to the finish line. After we got home, I wanted to make a healthy breakfast, and the summer breakfast scramble came to be. Colin mentioned several times that it smelled awful, so it might not be a hit with the younger set, but I thought it was delicious.

Summer Breakfast Scramble (for 2)

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

A few weeks ago we went into Boston for the day. After chasing little people up, down, and around the Children's Museum, watching Colin climb up three stories on a jungle gym and James' excitement at a room filled with golf balls, we went to Flour Bakery for lunch. I had the Roasted Sweet Potato sandwich, and it was amazing. I just checked the menu , and it looks like they don't offer it right now, but lucky for you I made a salad that's just as good. The original sandwich was roasted sweet potato, apple, walnut pesto, blue cheese and kale on wheat bread. I took some liberties, changed up some ingredients, and made it into a salad.

Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and ate all the cookies. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but all the treats I've been eating for the past month have been making me feel a little sluggish. When I saw a one day "cleanse" I thought I'd give it a try. Loosely, it called for drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning, a Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast, Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea and vegetables for lunch and dinner. My day went like this: First thing after my run: Hot Lemon water - This is a nice way to warm up. I do this all the time. Breakfast: Glowing Green Smoothie - I liked it a lot. Very refreshing and hydrating. Wished I hadn't baked donuts the night before as they were staring me down on the kitchen counter. Lunch: Spicy Mulligatawny Soup - I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant by "salad," but I went with it. Snack: Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea - Zingy and invigorat

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann. Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos. But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks. I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself. Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help. See? See? But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away.
