We have added search to our website! Christine and I have been testing this for a few weeks, and it is super useful for finding recipes that were put up a long time ago.
So, now if you want to see all of Christine's weekly meal planning, you can just put "weekly meal plan" in the search box at the top and go!
Post a comment here if you have any problems with the new search, so we can fix it up!

I am really behind on posting food updates... but we have had some good stuff! Here are some of our recent meals at home. Most of the veggies are from our CSA.
Be forewarned: I overuse the word "yummy" in the following post. Looks like I need to expand my vocabulary.

I will be honest- I've had a trying evening. Charlie has been extremely whiny, and was then very difficult to put to bed. As hard as I try to be patient and calm, I'm pretty far from perfect. So here is my opportunity to focus on the scads of other great things happening right now. Here are just a few:
- We had a fantastically awesome visit with Sarah, Jeremy, and Caden. Sarah did an excellent job of chronicling their trip, while I realized I had almost no pictures. Sadness. So, if you want to see things like our trip to Life and Science, Beach fun, Wilmington and a hilarious video of Charlotte, Deep-fried twinkies, or the NC Botanical Gardens, check Sarah's blog.
- Charlotte's vocabulary is increasing at an incredible pace. She knows animals and their sounds, is starting to identify some colors, and can more clearly convey her desires. We still don't understand everything she says, but we understand more every day.
- I am going to my first academic conference this Fall. I had a poster accepted at PME-NA and will be going to Reno! This is a small step but an important one if I hope to hold a tenure-track job some day.
- Micah and I made an awesome meal tonight. He grilled steak on our birthday gift grill from last summer and it was great.
- It appears that both of our cars are back in running order!
- I got my grades: two A's and a B this semester.
- Micah and I went to a coffee shop all by ourselves today while we waited to pick up one of our cars. It was fun.
- I turn 29 in two days, and my baby turns 2 in one week!

I thought that I had better try to do this post on time, before my schedule is all crazy again. Again, I don't think I'll get to all of these meals.
This week's produce CSA food:
Beets, turnips, assorted small colorful potatoes, eggs, leeks, and onions
Meat CSA:
ground beef, veal for kabobs, and pork chops
Other farmer's market goodness:
bread, local honey
Meals this week:
- Steak, smashed skin-on new potatoes, wilted beet greens with garlic and leeks
- Tuna salad sandwiches with beet greens
- Swedish meatballs, beets with creme fraiche and wasabi
- Stew from leftover steak, kale, and turnips? Only if I'm brave enough to try to make up my own recipe
Dessert:
I've been wanting to make pound cake for about a month now, so I might have to actually make it.
