Birthday week fun

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms.  As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me.  But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.”  He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

Accidentally GFV

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado.   Oh look!  A non-egg breakfast!  We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative.  Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos.

All kinds of random

  Caramel and chocolate.  Almost better than nut butter and chocolate.  Almost. What could this be?  I love surprise packages.  Kyle’s a keeper.   I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family.  And texts like the above are not uncommon.  I mean seriously, how can you not melt??  Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right?  I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something.  Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >

New shades & raw food

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts.  I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning.  The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed.   After breakfast I set to work on mega errands.  Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away).  On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more.  To do list, game on.  Eventually, I… Read more >
