Coucou ma cherie!

This just in: packing for vacation requires a vacation. We are going away for a few days, and I've realized that by the time I get the kids packed, my shit packed, the car packed, the food packed, the toys, I mean, HONESTLY...I need a vacation! I'm in list mode right now, and because there are so many ditties I've been wanting to send/tell you this week, here goes:

Summer tomatoes may be good enough to eat raw, but Smitten Kitchen reposted this recipe this week and I can't stop thinking about it.

Made these for friends last weekend and they totally hit the spot - great summer dinner.

Three of our favorite foodies dishing on cooking for children? I'll be listening to this at the first chance I get.

Nothing to do with food, but here's my new favorite musician.

Dash wants "dinosaur everything" for his upcoming birthday party. I am equal parts fascinated and terrified by some of the ideas out there. (Ok, this one is pretty cute.)

Bonus: How did I miss this when it came out last year? Have you heard of it?? More here and via this video.

Back to packing - more next week from vacation!
