Chocolate Cherry quick bread

  I know it’s all like pumpkin this and pumpkin that and pumpkin all. the. things. up in blogland, but I actually have a non-pumpkin quick bread recipe today.   For the record, I will be making up for lost time and squashing my face away for the next 90 days so don’t you worry about the absence of gourds this first week of fall. We all know October is the best month ever.  It’s pink, it’s my birthday, it’s football, it’s comfort food.  It’s everything good.  So we will get there soon, promise. In… Read more >

Now that’s a lot of food

Turns out I eat a lot.  🙂 Ha.  As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted).  Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES!  Of course!  I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

Sudwerk with sister

My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week.   Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable.  Remember?   Oh, and because this happened.  Yup.  So let’s start at the beginning.  I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast.   Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg.  While I ate, Kyle went to the MD.  Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >

Accountability day by day

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented.  This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats.  I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so  (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess).  But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body.  I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

The every-day eats

I am bad about taking pics of my daily eats (like I used to) but I get requests for them more than the “real” recipes…so here are  bunch of the quickie things I throw together on the regular.  From last week… Millet with sautĂ©ed spinach, baked tofu & avocado I made the millet in the rice cooker, sautĂ©ed the spinach with sesame oil and tamari, and used Wildwood tofu. I made extras.   I also re-made this salmon pasta, but in a HUUUUGE vat.   Lots of veggies to use up?  Throw them in!  I… Read more >
