Summer Goodness

Summer is in full swing here. It's crazy. And hot. And hectic. And busy. Here are a few things that have been keeping us busy.

Snacking on blanched green beans. Yum. (Plain or with salt or with lemon juice or with basil mayonnaise or with ranch dressing. Can't. Get. Enough.)

Making homemade peanut butter with the kids. The shelling of the peanuts was the most fun, unless you asked Taylor. We I sang Found a Peanut at the top of our my lungs until we I got stuck after "ate it anyway." I remember the story line, just not how the words fit into the song.

Little hands shelling nuts and little hands eating nuts.

Jammin' to the kids songs on my ipod.

Walking on pavers as Daddy works.

Loving vintage Pyrex given to me by a friend from church. Thanks, Kat!

We love blanched green beans here, as well! I will blanch them to put them in the freezer and leave them out to cool off. They never make it to the freezer, everyone eats them first lol

I'm snacking on snap peas over here. Can't.get.enough.either.

And thanks for the earworm. Have a great weekend.

I'm really glad you liked the dish I was wondering what it was called. Never made homemade pb looks like fun.
Oh fun! Can I come eat beans and make pb too? You are serisouly such a creative momma!

Speaking of pb- I just this am tried cashew butter for the first time. I've seen it sold next to the regular pb but it's expensive of course. Curiosity finally got the best of me and I have to say, MMMM. I ate it on a banana but after I buy apples at the farmers market tomorrow, I am pretty sure it will be my go-to snack this summer on apples.

Love the pyrex and Summery fun Lera. What is the name of the pyrex design? I've not seen it before. All Pyrex items on ebay have become so pricy in the UK- must be trendy here too. :-)
Have a happy Father's day!
