I love browsing the raw section of the Co-op but it’s also semi-depressing because I refuse to spend $9 on a bag of coconut macaroons that I will finish off in one sitting (why fight the truth) and could just as easily make myself. It serves as inspiration though. Salted Chocolate Coconut Brownie Bites [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly*] Ingredients: 1 cup raw walnuts 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 2 tbsp cocoa powder 2 dates, pitted 2 1/2 tbsp brown rice syrup 1/4 tsp salt (+ more if desired) [if necessary] water Directions: Pulse… Read more >

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend. Because we had a birthday party for my dad!! He’s 59 years young! I’ll get to the party details later. I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway. Food schmood right? P disagrees. He’s digging the solids. We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

So…hi again! I took some time off. And it was lovely. Maybe too lovely? It made me wonder if quitting HHH was an imminent reality… My free time is so precious now. But I do love having this space to share my latest food and life stuffs… But I have a job. And a kid. And a husband. And yadda yadda. I’m triaging my life like a freakin’ ER nurse. Priority #1 is family. And as you have now noticed, the blog is definitely on the backburner. That’s how I roll. C’est la vie…. Read more >

Monday Monday Monday. In nursing, there isn’t really the same stigma for the various days of the week because every day is (potentially) a work day. Fridays don’t mean the next two days are off. Wednesdays aren’t a half way mark. And Mondays aren’t the first day back after a break. So why do Mondays still have that baggage for me? Probably because spending the weekends with both my boys are so awesome. And I hate that it has to end. I also usually do grocery shopping on Mondays and I truly have come to… Read more >
