Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night. Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup. Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again. Make breakfast #1. A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas. I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does). Play on the computer. Respond to emails and blog comments. Make & prep food… Read more >

Dearest medjools. You make everything taste like dessert. And yet, you count as a fruit. One of mother nature’s true gifts. Dearest peanut flour. You’re so rare. So special. People have to seek you out and hoard you. These two together are like…heaven. No really. I named these treats “five” balls because the ingredients are oh so conveniently organized in fives. Ironically, the recipe yields more than five balls, but whatever. I suppose I could have just made really large ones in order to honor the name. But I didn’t. Oh well…. Read more >

Here’s a breakdown of a few of the meals from last week. First, the personal pizzas. The only difference between Kyle’s pizza and mine was the cheese. His was a cheddar and parmesan mix, mine was Daiya. I used Vicolo organic corn meal crusts. I’ve seen them at WF forever, but this was the first time I bought them. Totally love them. Going to buy them again and again and again now. I can’t stress just how in looooove Kyle and I both were with these pizzas. FYI, Vicolo is a San… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I visited my G-ma in Newport Beach, went to a friend’s baby shower in Fullerton, attended a wedding in Temecula, and stayed with Kyle’s parents in San Clemente. If you do the math, that’s over 300 miles of driving (6+ hours!!!). Check out how fun this looks. Just our luck – gas prices reached $5.50 per gallon this weekend! Isn’t that fabulous? Of course record breaking fuel prices would coincide with such a jam packed weekend on the road. Anyway. Sarcasm aside, it was pretty awesome to see so many family… Read more >
