Week in Review: The Food Coma Edition (#125)

March 26, 2018 by Meghan 28 Comments

Get you pads and pens ready because it’s time for the Week In Review.

The Week In Review is a list, in its purest form, not of the things you still need to do, but of all the things you have done in the last seven days. It’s an achievement list, an ode to yourself, a celebration of sorts, and a virtual pat on the back or smack on the ass. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Need more details? Head here.

♫ You can do it, put your list into it. ♫

Let’s get listing:

We went craft shopping, which made my skin crawl only moderately. As a result, we dabbled, quite literally, with finger painting. It’s a lot of preparation and clean up for what amounts to five minutes of active time.

We did an Easter egg hunt at the local nature and science center where an actual rabbit made an appearance. While Ave did very gingerly touch the live bunny, she was more entranced with a set of stairs there. Insert eye roll here.

I worked out five times, including a handful of slow and steady runs. 

Ave and I went to story time of course and the last music class of this session.

I was invited to another foodie event, this time at The Pompadour in Fairport Harbor. It was a bit of a drive, but the creative cocktails and super tasty tapas made it more than worthwhile. This place is a hidden gem, a diamond in the rough, and if they were in downtown Cleveland, they could charge a fortune and people would happily pay it, myself included. 

It wasn’t all fine dining though. I did a little menu planning last week, one of my favorite activities, and then went grocery shopping and stocked the fridge, in anticipation of some house guests. You can never have enough cheese.

Speaking of which, we happily hosted my dad and stepmom for the weekend, which was a blessing, since the tiny dictator has been living up to her name lately. They also brought cupcakes, which I scarfed down before photographing. My bad. Here’s a picture of the kid instead.

To make it up to you, I did some recipe testing and fully intend to share this Brussels sprouts pizza with you later later this week.

If you can’t wait that long, you can always suck down this tasty and tantalizing tropical kiwi smoothie.

This tasty and tantalizing tropical green smoothie, made with kiwi and pineapple, will tickle your taste buds and make your mouth sing.

And in the meantime, here’s a handful of last week’s edibles, some homemade and some out and about. It’s safe to say no one went hungry.

Now it’s your turn. I’d love to hear from you. Link up and get yo’ list on.

    You’re just becoming the hot commodity all the restaurants want at their events! And I don’t blame them. Having the excuse for a little road trip sounds okay to me anyways… especially if it ends in drinks and food.

    You’re killing me. Mostly with that cinnamon pull a part bread looking thing I’m eye-spying on your brunch table…. Damn.

    I just had Stefan on the phone to discuss what he should pick up for dinner on the way home but I want a bit of everything I just saw on this post! I think he’s not up to cook me all of this though ;-P Your leaning tower looks amazing. Much better than the original one!
    I love Ave’s bunny ears. I need some, too!

    OMG all that food though!!! And hehe it’s so funny when kids get mesmerized by the most random stuff and not what you actually get for them. When I was really little, I used to love playing with my dad’s keys instead of all my various toys and it would drive my parents crazy hehe

      Ave’s favorite thing is to climb, slide and jump whether it’s on furniture, ME or an actual slide. All these toys and she just wants to move.

    I’m kind of just on here drooling over everything. 🙂 Wow; that’s so cool that you got invited to that foodie event! Also, I was trying to add my link to the link-up, but for some reason it couldn’t detect the backlink? Would it be too much trouble for you to add it manually? If so that’s ok! 🙂 <3

    What a bunch of good looking food!! Yours and the restaurant ! I just bought my sister a pair of bunny ears like that. It’s not as cute on a 9 yr old though. Lol

    Hahaha I could create a similar cheese tower with the cheese in my fridge right now. You can never have enough!

    Also I am super excited for you to post that Brussels sprouts pizza. What a great idea for a pizza!

    Good for you getting 5 workouts in!!! And for all that tasty food. I’d say I was jealous if I wasn’t in my own food coma. HA!

    Bunny Ave is too cute.

      Toddlers can pull off bunny ears so much better than adults.

    Lol, I hear you on the crafting with a toddler. It is so much work and I always think it will sustain her interest for longer, but we usually get about 5 minutes per activity. We tried decorating eggs for Easter and by that I don’t mean dyeing eggs or anything fancy. We stuck a few easter stickers on some hard boiled eggs but then she discovered that smashing two eggs together was much more fun so that quickly devolved.

      Well smashing eggs does sound like a rather good time. I can’t blame her for that. We did eggs yesterday too and it was dump them in the colored water and we’re done. It lasted 12 seconds. Ha!!

    Congrats on the five workouts! I can’t imagine how difficult that was with Ave to take care of, too. And the food…I’ve spent the last five minutes trying to decide which looks the tastiest, and am currently leaning towards the fries. Or maybe the pizza. All the carbs…

    Your week looked absolutely delicious. And I second that — no such thing as too much cheese!!
    Ummm, brussel spouts on pizza?!! I can definitely get on board with that. Looking forward to your recipe as usual.

      Cheese is perfection, unless of course you’re lactose intolerant, and then it’s rather unfortunate. Good thing I can eat all the dairy.

    I love hidden gem restaurants. Always worth going above and beyond to visit. I know of a few here which I actually get excited to go and visit… Even though I order the same things because they are my favourite! When you find something you love at a restaurant ( and I mean total food orgasm) do you tend to order differently or stick with what you know will make you happy?
    Brussel sprout anything… Be still my beating heart…

      I often order the same thing over and over at restaurants, but that’s also the thing I love about tapas places. You get to try a bite of everything.
