What an amazing weekend. Not just because I got showered with love. With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats. Man, it’s been a while since I made these! I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter. Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

May already! The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second. Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend. Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house. Ugh! Moving takes forever. Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday). So we… Read more >

Of all the times of the year to eat eggs, I seem to have lost interest this past (Easter) week. After practically a year straight of eggy breakfasts (my pregnancy craving for my 300ish days of pregnancy), I am back to the sweeter AM fare. Heyoooo, oats! This bowl had peanut butter (whipped into the grains), banana slices, and trail mix (WF bulk bin). This trend has been ongoing for the last week and since they all started looking the same, I just stopped taking pics… Ok, I guess I haven’t stopped taking… Read more >

I made a major mistake and didn’t say decaf when I ordered this (venti soy misto) before we hit the road to come home from NorCal. I was very perky! I hope P didn’t get as high as I did off the caffeine! Oops!! The rest of the road trip was similar to the first one – Kyle and I traded off driving duties and our little man slept 99% of the time. I packed up our eats again. Similar as always. Brown rice, half an avocado, & two hard boiled eggs with a nooch… Read more >

In my family we call this “the special plate”. You get it on your birthday or when you do something that deserves kudos (like getting a new job or graduating or something like that). But enough about the serving ware, let’s talk about this cake. It’s sugar free, for one. And vegan. It’s pretty good also. It does taste semi “healthy” but I really liked it. Kyle did too. We both agreed it was super rich and filling, so you get lots of bang for your buck. Mini Vegan Chocolate Birthday Cake [vegan,… Read more >
