Elise Lately [III]

I got a HUGE head of cauliflower at the farmer’s market.  I think it’s going to provide enough for multiple meals – I’m thinking this soup, these “steaks”, and/or some kind of recreation of this appetizer. I didn’t get any squash while there, but found these guys amusing. I made this loaf the same way I make every other loaf and it somehow ended up all squat?  It tasted the same, so I’m not sure what happened.  I used a different kind of yeast (organic Rapunzel was cheaper than Red Star when I went shopping… Read more >

I repeat, no work this weekend

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule).  So exciting!!   Saturday morning.  Frothy mocha flavored milk.  Home-made bread.  Toasted to oblivion.  Buttered up the yin yang.  Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening.  They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive).  Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch.  Breakfast grain mix.  Seitan.  Carrots.  Nutritional yeast. Snack.  Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus.  Carrots…. Read more >

What’s growing?

I was supposed to work this Saturday, but I lucked out big time and got the 4:30 am call.  I love seeing my work number on my phone before my alarm goes off.  It’s always good news.  In this case, they were overstaffed so I got a holiday.  And with that, my weekend turned into all kinds of awesome.  🙂 Unable to get back to sleep, I just decided to get up.  I took a photo of my bump in the (dirty) bathroom mirror since you guys all gave me crap for not showing a… Read more >

Wedding, Beach & Tennis

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast.   Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup.  It was stellar!  I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it.  I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

My 4 latest obsessions

This cd is so much FUN.  Pun intended. Iced tea.  Can’tstopwon’tstop.   After buying a big boy at le bux, I opted to brew my own at home.  And I can’t tell you how awesome it is to start my summer mornings with a nice cool drink.  Plus almond milk and maple syrup.   Heavenly.   Home-made bread. I eat these loaves faster than hummus.  And that’s saying something. This sauce.  With anything and everything.    Baked potatoes.  Eggs.  Hash browns.  Toast.  Quinoa.  Pizza.  A spoon.    You name it, I’ve tried it with this… Read more >
