Last week I took photos of my whole day of eats – something I rarely do anymore – and then I just forgot about it. But they were good meals worth sharing so I’m posting them now because it’s food related and this is a food blog! It’s pretty atypical for me to have oats in the mornings nowadays, so this creation is more of an anomaly than the norm. I was in the mood for peanut butter but I used sunbutter instead because I’m still nervous about eating nuts when I’m around P. Even… Read more >

I took pics of the days surrounding Kyle’s 30th, but never shared them! Never too late to celebrate? Here’s the young man and his tower of 30 beers. Kyle requested an al fresco themed birthday dinner, and since it was gorgeous weather it seemed like a brilliant idea. We hit up the farmer’s market that day and hung out in the park with friends, soaking up the social scene. It was a taste of what it to come (once the weather finally commits to warmth in entirety). The above platter had some old… Read more >

In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >

This past weekend’s mission was to test run a chocolate cake for P’s first birthday. Mission: accomplished. 🙂 Like, SO accomplished. I was beside myself with pride when it turned out. Now I can serve a cake for everyone to enjoy that will make my son feel normal!!! Hooray! It is chocolaty and rich and tastes indulgent, despite having no added sugar. It’s also free of grains. And nuts, seeds, soy, wheat, and dairy. And it actually tastes good. Scratch that. It tastes great. Grain free, allergy-friendly chocolate cake [wheat/gluten free, grain… Read more >

This week went by bleepin’ FAST. [Side note: I have to get my swearing in check now that P understands everything I’m saying!! Words are now real things with meaning. Talk about a reality check.] Last weekend was a snooze with that lame Super Bowl, although I did grab brunch at Cafe Bernardo with a former co-worker. I brought P (with his eggs and such in a tupperware) and he was the perfect gentleman – minimal puffs and banana bits made their way to the floor (although I always clean that stuff up at… Read more >
