This past (long) weekend was important for family time because Kyle headed back out of town for business on Tuesday morning (after being away the previous week). Gotta soak it up for the few days he’s around! I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but since his start-up is young and fragile, it’s important to take advantage of these opportunities so the company will continue to thrive. Growing pains are good. As I type this he is en route to Colorado…10 hours into the 18.5 hour drive. Ouch. So anyway. Saturday. He slept… Read more >

Where to begin, where to begin… How about here. ImadebaconoutofcoconutandIdon’tevenknowhowittastesthisgood soI’mkindafreakingoutoverit. Yes bacon. Out of coconut. It’s insane. I don’t even get it but I’m going to stop trying to analyze how this magic occurred and just enjoy it. You should too. Seriously. I would NOT be this dramatic if it was mediocre.

The last few posts have had more elaborate (for me) meals, so I figured I’d throw a few of my stand by quickies your way. I don’t usually take photos of the boring repetitive meals because they’re not that exciting. But I don’t cook fun things all the time and it’s only fair to show my lame side (lest you think I’m super homemaker hippie). Eggs. The cheap protein that can be the star of any meal in a minute. Basic Veggie Egg Fried Rice [vegetarian, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 2 tbsp garlic infused… Read more >

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it. Lots of outdoor time! Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing. Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar. I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >

Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >
