I made this the other night and it was so good I had to share. Sorry about the lack of measurements or precise anything, but I’m sure you can figure it out. Inspired by this stuffing (I guess I’m still in winter comfort food mode), I roasted butternut squash, brussels, and apples. Then I tossed them with sage and thyme. Meanwhile, I had quinoa cooking in the rice cooker (I used vegetable broth instead of water which made a big difference in flavor). I added the quinoa to the veggies, then added pepitas and… Read more >

The whole shebang of last week in one post. Here goes. Breakfast on Monday was the last of this savory bread and fried eggs. Breakfast on Tuesday was out – I had a savory crepe with hash browns at Crepeville. Because Crepeville’s portions are awesomely massive I had leftovers for breakfast on Wednesday. Which I paired with two fried eggs. Thursday I made steel cut oats in the rice cooker (the crock pot was already occupied) for our whole family. I topped mine with a bunch of non-nut things (aka seeds galore) – including… Read more >

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… Read more >

I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >

For all the recipes I find in cookbooks, magazines, and blogs, I don’t make very many! I’d say they serve as inspiration mostly. My taste preferences usually then guide me in tweaking things to make them how I want them. But in the past few months I’ve been drawing blanks in my kitchen (I crave nothing and because of this I cannot for the life of me create menus in advance). So basically I have been (a) remaking my faves over and over (and over) again; and (b) (finally) making things I’ve starred from these… Read more >
