French Food

     
Did y'all have a good weekend? Ours actually was perfect! The perfect amount of going, staying home, and getting things done. I love weekends like that!

On Saturday night the husband and I had a date night. We did some google-age and found a local French restaurant near us. It went along with my Cooking for Mr. Latte book. We don't go anywhere anymore without reading google reviews.

I prepared myself for dinner with an
Amazing Grass shooter.

This was the berry flavored superfood. I just mixed it with water. Actually... It wasn't bad at all! I knew I wouldn't be trying to get any veggies in during dinner so I had mine before!

My mom snapped a couple pictures of us before our date.



We had dinner at
Caprice Bistro in Wilmington. We started with the smoked seafood. Which had a different array of smoked fish, plus scallops, and a potato cake. For dinner I had the chicken “cordon bleu”. And for dessert I had dark chocolate mousse with a cup of coffee.

Everything was unbelievable! I'm not a big fan of fish but I ate most of the smoked trout for our appetizer. My chicken cordon bleu was perfectly cooked and had the most delicious sauce/gravy over the top.

My husband and I both said we left the restaurant completely totally satisfied in every way. Normally, when we leave I want either a) chocolate or b) a cup of coffee. I was comfortably full and every single bite was savored.

We both agreed that we are now in love with French food. Thanks Caprice Bistro!

I think I might become french... Is that possible?

This morning for breakfast was pancakes.

I used my Trader Joe's pancake mix my sister got me but added a jar of sweet potato baby food, chias, and cinnamon. They were the perfect sweet potato pancakes! I topped mine with homemade greek yogurt (I'll show you that one later), honey, walnuts, and coconut. SO GOOD!

Lunch was an unpictured rice bowl. I'm sure you'll see quite a few of those this week. I made a bunch of rice today.

So I'll leave you with a belly picture.

25 weeks! We're getting there!

And some pictures of the squirrel jammin' to my Ipod. Life with this kid never gets old. I can't believe I'm about to have 2!

Aaahhh! You are so tiny! Why did I think you were further along??? Super cute dress too! French food usually does not fill me up, but your portions look decently sized. What a great date night!

You look beautiful in your date outfit. You and your husband are such a gorgeous couple, and with the Squirrel it's the perfect family! And now you're about to have two? What more could you ask for?! I'm so happy for you.
Regarding your dining experience, isn't it great when you can order food and savor every bite, then be ok with no dessert or "extra" at the end?! I love that.

I adore that dress, I love anything black and white lately.

I'm so excited to follow along with the rest of your pregnancy and your little boy's birth. I hope you keep blogging even when you have two little ones. We're trying to get pregnant so I always like knowing what's in store for me.
