Wednesday morning was pretty much the same – family walk to the store to get eggs and bananas, then we cooked and played with P until his morning nap. We tried to hit up Bird and Bear Boathouse for lunch (a place that I read several great reviews about) but once we got there we found out they weren’t serving food, just coffee and cookies. It looked like a great place to sip coffee with pretty views but we needed more than cookies to tide us over. It was a hike getting there from Double… Read more >

This is the rainbow lunch mish mash that I heaped on my plate Saturday. On the bottom is a cauliflower “pizza crust” which is topped with cabbage slaw with home-made mayo + lemon caper dressing, avocado, and nutritional yeast. Ugly as it looks, it was one of the best things I ate all weekend. But then there was this dinner. It took no time at all and was pretty awesome. Sriracha Quinoa Sushi Bowl Ingredients: 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa 2 avocados, diced 1 mango, diced 16 oz crab meat 3 tbsp mayonnaise… Read more >

Guess what? Chicken butt. I’m five years old. Last year I thought my New Years Eve was the lamest ever (refresher: I was preggo and passed out on my in-laws couch before midnight). Turns out this year was only slightly less lame. Kyle and I tried to fake an upbeat ‘tude, but in reality we were both pretty blah about our nothing of an evening. I get it though. We have a 10 month old. Life is what it is and I’m certainly not going to complain about this new parenthood situation because, hello!, I… Read more >

For all the recipes I find in cookbooks, magazines, and blogs, I don’t make very many! I’d say they serve as inspiration mostly. My taste preferences usually then guide me in tweaking things to make them how I want them. But in the past few months I’ve been drawing blanks in my kitchen (I crave nothing and because of this I cannot for the life of me create menus in advance). So basically I have been (a) remaking my faves over and over (and over) again; and (b) (finally) making things I’ve starred from these… Read more >

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 >
