Moving weekend

I’ll make this brief since this is what I’m up against…   Hippie tip #1: Buy and sell (or give away) used moving boxes on craigslist before and after you move.  Earth friendly and cheap.   Here we are in our (old) backyard with a passed out babe and movers schlepping patio furniture.  P was clearly not stressed out by the packing process.  On the contrary, he slept probably 30 of the 36 hours that we were transitioning from one home to the next.  He just looooves being held, and since we had no furniture… Read more >

The drive home and the day on campus

I made a major mistake and didn’t say decaf when I ordered this (venti soy misto) before we hit the road to come home from NorCal. I was very perky!  I hope P didn’t get as high as I did off the caffeine!  Oops!! The rest of the road trip was similar to the first one – Kyle and I traded off driving duties and our little man slept 99% of the time. I packed up our eats again.  Similar as always. Brown rice, half an avocado, & two hard boiled eggs with a nooch… Read more >

Touring Davis

As I alluded in the last post, we had a road trip planned for the next day in Nor Cal.  Boy oh boy are we pushing our luck with all these long car rides with an infant! But this is what he does most of the time so we are really lucky (so far).  Fingers crossed. I packed lots of food for us so we could hit the road early (basically right after we had both showered and I’d breastfed P).   Kyle and I both had similar breakfasts, but his was sandwiched between some… Read more >

More Nor Cal love

For the first time since we arrived in Nor Cal, Kyle was able to sleep in spend the day with me (and not working). Sleeping in is a thing of the past. I made Kyle breakfast first while he got in some baby time.  He misses P so much when he’s gone. That toast I made him is Semifreddi’s sour batard.  One of the best breads in the Bay Area in my opinion. My breakfast was later because I was working on my dandy tea (still no GI upset with it, so that’s good). In… Read more >

Don’t Pinch Me

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! No pinching allowed here 🙂 In honor of my little man…and our Irish roots…I’ll share a bunch of recent [green] eats.  As you’ll soon see, I have been in a major kale rut.  And salad rut.  Neither are bad things. 😛 Salad heaven #1: chard, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado, & Sabra’s seasonal rosemary and olive oil hummus Expo West sample: Brad’s kale chips Vegetarian “chorizo” and kale rice casserole (recipe coming for this one because oh my gaaaaahhhh) Salad heaven #2: kale, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado and 365 sesame goddess dressing… Read more >
