This is gonna be a long one, but I like recapping our little family weekends, so this is selfishly for my own (online?) memory. Friday morning I had my usual breakfast, toast with an egg. Only I added something special, that I’ll review more thoroughly later on. Hint: it’s the peanut butter. After eating I spent the morning prepping for an interview. I have mixed feelings about my timeline for going back to work and it’s a complicated issue that I’m not going to discuss on the blog. Once I know what the plan… Read more >

Highlights only. I could never recap an entire week! Footed PJs are the cutest thing ever. Saturday morning we had an open house. Rather than subject P to a million people germing up the joint, I took him for a walk. We went to the Farmer’s Market to re-stock on spinach (this habit requires a constant influx of greens). After everyone left I came home and got ready for a BBQ with friends. We picked up some apps on the walk over (oh how I will miss these easy walks to friends houses in Santa… Read more >

In the beginning of our relationship (8!!! years ago), Kyle and I ate different meals 99% of the time. Then he went vegetarian a year ago and we started eating the same things. It was pretty cool to plan dinners and grocery shop for us both in the same way. We still eat this way…until this past week… In an effort to clean out the fridge, I’ve been making a ton of not very FODMAP friendly meals for him. Meanwhile I’ve been on a total salad bender. They all have the same theme. NUTS! Lots… Read more >

Before I get to this… I have to show you what I threw together the pervious day. People always love the quickie meal ideas I give more than the elaborate recipes (okay, I never have elaborate per se, but more involved). So here’s another one that is highly adaptable and took under 5 minutes. Thai sweet potato rice casserole with black beans. Sounds like it took a lot of effort, when really, it was all thanks to a box, a can, and an appliance. Pacific’s thai sweet potato soup may have been… Read more >

Now that I’ve shared the big news, I can start talking about all the last minute things we’ve been up to as our LA residency comes to a close. On our drive back down to So Cal, Kyle and I created an LA bucket list. Unfortunately, we will not be able to hit up all the restaurants we wanted to. There’s too much food in our fridge/freezer (slash we need to save $$$) to justify going out to eat the way that we both want to. Which would have to be every night for… Read more >
