Another waffle start to the day. Followed by another cab ride to the heart of DC. We left Kyle’s grandma at the DAR library so she could do research. I’ll spare you my sentiments on how much fun that sounds like to me. The inside was actually really neat – it looked like a cross between an old train station and the White House. They were filming celebrity jeopardy right next door (I tweeted about my Dr. Oz sighting), but we already had Smithsonian plans. [above] From the American History Museum – war… Read more >

After a really exhausting day, we were all ready for an early dinner. I’m talking 5 pm early. And so we made our way to Founding Farmers. This place was recommended to me by a few different people, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I had a less than great interaction with the staff when I called ahead inquiring about the ability to accommodate our party of five (including one person in a wheelchair). Not only did they tell me they don’t take reservations (which I later found out was false –… Read more >

I’ve eaten at Wokcano before, so there weren’t any surprises with this order. Just yummy sushi. Avocado and seaweed salad are two of my favorite things in the world. Roooooolls!! It’s hard to play favorites, but this was it. Wokcano still doesn’t have brown rice. LAME! Here’s a fun April prompt (#HAWMC) I felt like sharing… 10 things I couldn’t live without (I decided to choose foods): quinoa hummus seitan bread ginger coffee oatmeal Bragg’s liquid aminos avocado carrots What’s on your list?

First thing I did when I got up was inhale deeply. Even though our bedroom is upstairs, the aromas from the kitchen still make their way up to us overnight. Especially when I make bread right before bedtime. I took a few slices of each for breakfast (and general morning snacking). Excellent. I don’t have photos of all my work food. I brought pizza and other stuff. The dough was soooo good. Fluffy and soft. The sauce had too much garlic. FODMAPs fail. The cheese was melty. Really and truly. It melted. If you see… Read more >

Work food. I didn’t take photos of my breakfast oats because they’re monotonous and (quite frankly) snooze-inducing at this point. Can I get a virtual high five for weaning myself down to ZERO pieces of gum?! Heyooo! More on that on my FODMAPs site. Post-work food. Herbed bread twists made from scratch [vegan]. They are like little pillows of carbohydrate heaven. Brown rice & veggie quiche [vegetarian, gluten free]. A twist on this recipe. Mac ‘n Cheese [vegan]. I added in spinach because green-less meals make me sad. Do you plan dinner before… Read more >
