If you recall, this week was Eat Real Dinners Week. And guess what? I managed to do home-cooked meals all week long (to clarify, my goal was all work week since that when I’m the laziest about cooking). And none of my meals this week included a peanut butter sandwich and ice cream straight from the carton. Lots of whole grains and healthy proteins and veggies. I’m happy; growing BabyHTP is happy. Wahoo!
I thought I’d celebrate with…. dinner out and ice cream. Obviously.
We went out to Fern, Charlotte’s new(ish) vegetarian fine dining restaurant. I love Fern. It’s so tasty and fresh. We started off with the Three Sisters Cakes, which included corn meal and black beans. Very good app to split.
And I got the Warm Kale Salad. Last meal at Fern, the kale was cooked more thoroughly; it was more ‘massaged’ this time around. Both ways were tasty but I prefer my kale mushy. 
After such a delicious vegetarian dining experience, I insisted on taking my sister-in-law to Dairy Queen. She has never been (she’s from London; apparently, they don’t have the wonder that is DQ in England). I showed her the light with a Resee’s Blizzard.
Yes, it’s 30 degrees outside. So?
Off to curl up on the couch and get my edit on! Have a wonderful weekend.
How does eating 4 real dinners constitute a week? You started this on the 9th, so by my count, that’s 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th. Not even a work week.
