Happy #5 Briana

Yesterday after Maisie’s TOPs practice we attended Briana’s 5th Birthday party at a local bowling alley where the children enjoyed bowling followed by pizza and cake.

Birthday girl Briana was much too busy to actually fully stop and pose for a picture with her Princess cake.

It was back in April when Maisie last went bowling and she really enjoyed doing it again.

Maisie also enjoyed her pizza and cake and of course spending time with some of her friends.

TOPs

Two weeks ago I mentioned in my post that Maisie tried out for a special team at her gym.  The team is TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program) which is a talent search and educational program for female gymnasts ages 7-10.  Maisie has been talking about wanting to be on TOPs since June 2010 and now she’s a very happy little gymnast as she made the team!

This morning was Maisie’s first practice and she was super excited to be starting TOPs, have another day of practice at the gym and to be working with Coach Hardy.

Maisie’s favorite part of the practice was working on press handstands but she also enjoyed working on the rope climb, conditioning and the cast handstands.  In fact there wasn’t anything that Maisie didn’t enjoy, she loved the entire practice.  I think given the opportunity Maisie would move into the gym and live there forever.  I’m glad that she enjoys gymnastics so much and that she has the opportunity to pursue her passion.

My passion is eating…and cooking but eating wonderful tasting foods and right now it’s all about cucumbers as our garden has been producing them at an amazing pace.  If your garden is overflowing with cucumbers I have the perfect recipe posted today over on Cook Lisa Cook for a Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad.The salad is absolutely delicious with wonderful flavors and a good kick of heat from the peppers.  Perfect for summer, no cooking involved and super fresh and tasty.  I hope that you’ll give this recipe a try.

Is this right?

Maisie was being silly before gymnastics today asking me if she looked good in her leotard and asking if it fit properly…she’s a funny little girl. 

There’s my beautiful girl!

After gymnastics Maisie and I did a little taste testing of two new Activia yogurts.  For our review and your opportunity to get coupon for FREE yogurt click on over to Cook Lisa Cook’s Dannon Activia Selects Review.

Confetti Glue

This afternoon before gymnastics Maisie found some confetti glue sticks, she disappeared and I didn’t hear a peep out of her for an entire hour.  She had fun decorating sheet after sheet of paper.  Maisie was very proud of all her sparkly creations.

Oh and just as an aside, this is my 125th day in a row of posting to Moments with Maisie…who’da thunk???

Please call me Miss. Shanahan

Maisie’s friend K has a large white board and though Maisie has small ones she’s been asking for a large board.  I finally got a big board for her along with the new Crayola Dry Erase Crayons (which I’m still deciding if I really like or not). Maisie immediately set up her classroom, asked me to call her Miss. Shanahan and started teaching me how multiplication and division work backward and forward.

Maisie really enjoys doing math and being my teacher and I’m always happy to learn.  She though writes the problems and the answers and I just agree with her.  I love that she doesn’t need my help at all.

My beautiful and smart little teacher Miss. Shanahan.

Maisie starts school on August 15 and is so excited, counting down the days.  This morning we tried on her uniforms and after two years in her uniform shirts she’s finally getting new ones in size 4 as she’s outgrown the size 3’s.  Her skorts, shorts & fleeces all still fit so she’ll be wearing those for a third year.  Even though the skorts & shorts still fit I did purchase a few new ones so the girl has quite a collection of bottoms.

One of my favorite flavors of summer is fresh figs with chèvre and balsamic vinegar.  Yesterday I put all those flavors in a Panini and the results were delightful.To make this wonderful Grilled Chèvre & Fig Panini check out Cook Lisa Cook for all the details. 

While there please take a look at some of my other recently posted recipes including:  Mango Lassi, Stir-Fried Asparagus with Water Chestnuts, Ginger & Cashews, Curried Roast Chicken Pieces with Spicy Sweet Potato & Carrots, Grilled Corn & Bacon Pudding, Oriental Chicken Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, Coffee Crusted Steak, Home Style Chicken Curry, Watermelon Frosty,  Mango Gazpacho, Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies, Long Beans with Walnuts, Blacksmith Pizza, Rhubarb Crisp, Laksa, Math Book No Bake Cookies, Aloo Gobi, Mint Lassi, Red Curry Chicken, Lamb Curry, Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, Baked Egg Cups Two Ways, Thai Peanut Salad, Holy Guacamole, Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, Wallaby Darned, Piggy-Out Cookies, Wicked Good New England Lobster Roll, Long Beans with Garlic, Super Simple Summer Shrimp Salsa Salad, Grandma’s Teriyaki Steak, Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho, Red Chinese Long Beans with Peppers & Red Curry, 24-Layer Crêpe Cake and Fig & Watermelon Salad.

Sweetie Stringing Sweets

Maisie found a leftover candy necklace kit from Easter and had fun making and eating her jewelry. 

While she was working on her necklace I was preparing a salad using watermelon, figs and mint all picked fresh from our garden (well the figs were from our next door neighbor’s tree.)  This salad was absolutely delicious and I’ve now eaten it for lunch two days in a row and will probably make it three or more as it’s that wonderful.

It is a Fig & Watermelon Salad with Vidalia onions, chèvre and mint on a bed of arugula with an orange fig balsamic & Dijon vinaigrette …heavenly!!

Cook Maisie Cook

After gymnastics practice the other night Maisie made dinner.  She’s very cautious when cooking as she’s a bit afraid of being near the cook top which is a good thing, keep her safe! 

Maisie enjoyed making a chicken and vegetable stir fry.

She was very proud of her colorful creation.  No recipe on this as it was just chicken, veggies and a sweet soy sauce mixture. 

I did some cooking too and my recipe turned out pretty impressive, if I do say so myself, as I made a 24-Layer Crêpe Cake.  This cake really wasn’t difficult to make but the results look like it took a week in the kitchen.Isn’t that baby gorgeous!!!  Oh and it’s even more delicious than it looks!  Check out all the recipe details over on Cook Lisa Cook.

Dinner at the Diner

Last night we met up with Ilene, Michael and April for dinner at the Marietta Diner…home of MASSIVE portions!  Eammon and I haven’t been to the diner in years and I found the menu overwhelming with choices.  It was funny, I wanted so many things but I ended up ordering a cup of seafood bisque…yep just a cup of seafood bisque.  But that with a bit of Eammon’s giant side salad and a slice off the enormous entire loaf of bread that they brought to the table along with a square of the complimentary spanakopita, well I was stuffed.  Everyone else ordered whole meals and at the end of dinner there were a total of seven stuffed take-out boxes heading home with all of us.  Portions out-of-control!!

As always April and Maisie were excited and happy to be together.  We don’t get together enough and each time that we do the girls look so much older and grown up.

Both the girls ordered spaghetti for dinner but they each had their own eating style.

Maisie is a slurp from the bowl kind of girl.

While April prefers pasta from above. 

As always we enjoyed our dinner and time together.

Since we went out for dinner I didn’t cook but please check out some of my recent recipes posted on Cook Lisa Cook including: Mango Lassi, Stir-Fried Asparagus with Water Chestnuts, Ginger & Cashews, Curried Roast Chicken Pieces with Spicy Sweet Potato & Carrots, Grilled Corn & Bacon Pudding, Oriental Chicken Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, Coffee Crusted Steak, Home Style Chicken Curry, Watermelon Frosty,  Mango Gazpacho, Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies, Long Beans with Walnuts, Blacksmith Pizza, Rhubarb Crisp, Laksa, Math Book No Bake Cookies, Aloo Gobi, Mint Lassi, Red Curry Chicken, Lamb Curry, Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, Baked Egg Cups Two Ways, Thai Peanut Salad, Holy Guacamole, Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, Wallaby Darned, Piggy-Out Cookies, Wicked Good New England Lobster Roll, Long Beans with Garlic, Super Simple Summer Shrimp Salsa Salad, Grandma’s Teriyaki Steak, Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho and my most recent Red Chinese Long Beans with Peppers & Red Curry.

Rock the Mock

The announcement at the beginning of the meet told us that the Judges would be taking maximum deductions so that the girls would really know where they stood and what needed to be worked on. Maisie was calm as ever as she loves going to the meets and enjoys the entire process.  Me though, well that’s a different story and I didn’t know what to expect or how she would do at each event.  Even though this was only a mock meet my heart was still in my throat as I sat up in the gallery with the other parents…sweating because it was hot as Hades up there and hoping that all the girls did well.  It was a combined USA Level 3 & 4 meet so I was trying to watch everything and everyone because I know so many of the girls and want them all to do well.

As I don’t have the right lens on my camera to take good pictures during a meet and I decided not to bring my Flip, I just sat and enjoyed watching.  Before the meet began I did snap a couple of pictures though.

Maisie with Aspen, Mara, Alexis, Brianna & Emily.

My beautiful gymnast ready for the meet to begin. 

Maisie and her USA Level 3 teammates.  (l to r) Maisie, Tia, Brianna, Alexis, Aspen, Taylor, Summer, Mara, Avery, Mia, Alyssa, Savannah, Miller, Brooke, Kimberly, McKenna, Laney & Caroline, 18 girls in all! 

Maisie and all the girls did their best and handled themselves so well.  This was great practice for when their actual competitions begin, just three weeks away!

Maisie did great at the meet scoring a 9.6 on vault, 9.4 on bars, 9.4 on beam and a 9.0 on floor.  I’m hoping that competition season goes this well because all 9’s or better totally rocks!!!

Though I didn’t video the meet yesterday, I did capture part of her practice last week and below are those videos.

A-Maisie-ing Maisie, Rock the House and good luck this year competing!!

Not as amazing as my Maisie but still pretty darn incredible are my Red Chinese Long Beans with Peppers & Red Curry, my newest recipe over on Cook Lisa Cook.

Mock Meet

In preparation for competition season Maisie has a mock meet this afternoon at her gym.  The girls all need to have their hair pulled back into a bun as if they were at a real meet so that any potential hair problems can be worked out.  They won’t be wearing their competition leotards today but instead they’ll all wear their matching zebra leotards from team camp.  The meet will run just like an a real meet with the girls all receiving real scores. 

Maisie’s looking forward to this afternoon as she has a lot of fun being with her teammates and competing.  I said to Eammon this morning that for us, the most difficult part of any meet is getting Maisie’s hair done as I’m not good at doing it and she really doesn’t like having her hair up or especially having hair spray applied.

Trying to get Maisie’s hair pulled back.

It’s pretty wonky as I’m so-not good at the hair thing but she’s still stinkin’ adorable and at least all the hair is pulled back so that it won’t be in her face. 

I may not be good at hair but I’m pretty good at cooking so if you want to see where my true talents are, check out Cook Lisa Cook and all the delicious recipes I have posted including these recent ones:  Mango Lassi, Stir-Fried Asparagus with Water Chestnuts, Ginger & Cashews, Curried Roast Chicken Pieces with Spicy Sweet Potato & Carrots, Grilled Corn & Bacon Pudding, Oriental Chicken Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, Coffee Crusted Steak, Home Style Chicken Curry, Watermelon Frosty,  Mango Gazpacho, Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies, Long Beans with Walnuts, Blacksmith Pizza, Rhubarb Crisp, Laksa, Math Book No Bake Cookies, Aloo Gobi, Mint Lassi, Red Curry Chicken, Lamb Curry, Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, Baked Egg Cups Two Ways, Thai Peanut Salad, Holy Guacamole, Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, Wallaby Darned, Piggy-Out Cookies, Wicked Good New England Lobster Roll, Long Beans with Garlic, Super Simple Summer Shrimp Salsa Salad, Grandma’s Teriyaki Steak & Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho.

First Watermelon of the Season

Sunday night Steve and I picked from our garden, our first watermelon of the season.

Steve cradling his homegrown baby.

It was just a wee little beauty, weighing in at 23.8 pounds! 

Beautiful on the inside too.

We each took home half a melon but we’d better eat up quickly as our watermelons are doing really well this year so we should be picking another one very soon. 

I’m excited and planning on lots of Watermelon Frosty drinks as well as…

Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho which is what I made with this melon.

A family can’t live on watermelon alone so to see what else were enjoying head on over to Cook Lisa Cook and check out my recent recipes including: Mango Lassi, Stir-Fried Asparagus with Water Chestnuts, Ginger & Cashews, Curried Roast Chicken Pieces with Spicy Sweet Potato & Carrots, Grilled Corn & Bacon Pudding, Oriental Chicken Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, Coffee Crusted Steak, Home Style Chicken Curry, Watermelon Frosty,  Mango Gazpacho, Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies, Long Beans with Walnuts, Blacksmith Pizza, Rhubarb Crisp, Laksa, Math Book No Bake Cookies, Aloo Gobi, Mint Lassi, Red Curry Chicken, Lamb Curry, Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, Baked Egg Cups Two Ways, Thai Peanut Salad, Holy Guacamole, Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, Wallaby Darned, Piggy-Out Cookies, Wicked Good New England Lobster Roll, Long Beans with Garlic, Super Simple Summer Shrimp Salsa Salad.

Enjoying Grandma’s Teriyaki Steak

Maisie is my carb loving gal but lately she’s been asking for steak.  Steak for dinner, steak for lunch and even steak for breakfast.  I’m happy to oblige as getting protein into her can often be a challenge so while she’s all about the steak, I’m all about feeding it to her. 

The other night I made a Teriyaki marinade that my Mother has made since I was a little girl and it’s always been a favorite.  I use my version of my Mom’s recipe all the time and both Eammon and I love it so I hoped that Maisie would enjoy it too.  

I served Maisie a jacket potato with butter, Roasted Enoki and a good serving of steak.  Other than the jacket of the potato Maisie ate everything on this plate and then asked for and ate seconds and then thirds of the steak.  While eating her first serving she asked me where I got such a good recipe and I told her that it was Grandma’s recipe and that when I was a little girl she made this for me.  Maisie then let me know that Grandma was a good cook!  

This marinade is delicious, shoot I’ve been eating it for a lifetime!  If you’d like to try it out check out the recipe for Grandma’s Teriyaki Steak over on Cook Lisa Cook.
