Family Feasts #1

Since we tend to eat out 1 or 2 times a week, and peeps always be asking me where to go for food, I thought maybe a good reoccurring topic would be all about food. Here is Family Feasts #1.

Earlier this week we tried a new to us place for dinner. We like to expose the boys to a wide variety of foods (which can often make dinner stressful) but it is one of the fundamental values that we have: take them out and get them to at least try new food. We tend to stick to a few if the same places, most if them ChefsTable since we get a manager discount. $$

This evening we decided to venture to a great little rustic small plates place called Grain & Gristle. They have hit the nail on the head with this place. It's perfectly worn and rustic while also being minimalist. Green bottles on the table for water,  hack saws hanging on the beams for decor. Everything is wood except the upper portion of the walls lines with booths and a live edge bar.

We ordered a variety of dishes. 

- Oliver insisted on ordering a soft pretzel to share with Henri.

- Cauliflower

- A beet salad

- The Meat Board

- Braised pork with house-made baked beans.

Everything was perfect, well seasoned and cooked well. It is pretty rare for us to go somewhere and love every dish

We cleaned our plates so quickly that this was the only food picture that I got.

Def going to be added onto our list of Go To places to eat. :)

Twofer. This week was Valentine's Day. It was the first year that the boys really got what was going on. Actually, ever since Halloween, there has been more awareness about the holidays. Discussions. Planning & projects.
 I love both of these images. Sometimes you get one and you just know it's good.

Morning snugs.

 

Valentine's Day. Dropping Oliver off at school. I couldn't resist the early morning sun and my babies showing off their hearts.

Shockingly. I don't have pictures of my boys for these 2 weeks. Well i have a couple, but they are dark and grainy or just not right. So week 5 will be a bye.

I figure for week 6, i'll turn the tables on myself & the hubs with portraits taken by our own Henri at one of our fav spots in town, Lardo West.

(i'm most likely going to get in trouble for posting the above. But he's my mountain man.)

Week number 4 is featuring only 1 child. I can't believe I have a week without at least one picture of Oliver. Here Henri is posing in a lilac with his bow tie. This boy loves a good bow tie.
