I have found that my Sunday prep time isn’t as much of an undertaking as it was that first Sunday of January if I keep mostly on top of it.  Making dressings when I run out, having a veggie chopping session mid week, etc, means my weekend prep is very streamlined.  That first Sunday we got back was exceptionally involved because we had just come home from being out of town so you know how the fridge looks after that.  For upcoming breakfasts, I made a batch of pancakes for the kids and bread for… Read more >

FRIYAY! Another week of OIT.  I’m getting sentimental about our Fremont trips already now that we only have one left.  As a special treat, we went EXTRA early so that we could go to WF before his appointment to get donuts.  He has never had a donut, but has read about them in books, and has seen them on display at WF when we go. So I figured why not!?  He’s safe enough with peanut that he can have things from bulk bins and salad bars and whatnot, and WF has vegan donuts so I… Read more >

Let me see how fast I can share my foodie adventures from the non holiday part of the week… Breakfast on the go.  Plus a banana. A new Urbany Remedy salad, compliments of the Fremont WF. The noodles were on the mushy side TBH.  Not sure I’d get it again. But I made it extra good with the addition of… PEANUTS! Oh my gosh, you guys, I can’t even tell you how exciting this was for me. I forgot how GOOD they are!?!?  Ever since we got far enough into OIT I feel okay bringing… Read more >

After a super lazy Saturday, I decided to start Sunday off with stroller strides.  That got my day going!  Yowza – the ‘Boost’ Sunday classes are always an insane workout. I had two muffins for breakfast with cashew butter.  These were almond butter coconut flour ones with dried cranberries.  My friend made a batch of these “paleo” muffins for me back when V broke her femur and I had the last few in the freezer, which saved me since I hadn’t done any prep yet. For lunch I made a Caesar salad with kale, chicken,… Read more >

I love me a long weekend! On Friday I drove to and from Fremont.  It’s the first time I’ve done it all in one day without going to my parents’ place on Thursday for a half way point reprieve.  It was do-able though, because we were only there for one single up-dose (as opposed to the full 5 hours that a bunch of updosing would require).  We left at 6:45 am and arrived at the Fremont Starbucks by 8:30 am. NO. NO. Notorious. We passed the time with the usual bag of tricks…and I brought… Read more >
