I really don’t like this new UC logo. I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm. That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill. But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come). Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs. There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation. I’m on… Read more >

This weekend was just plain awesome. I don’t know what else to say. My sister came to visit. My friends threw me a baby shower. And I just felt so loved. And fortunate. Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived! Hooray 🙂 While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read. I had a snack a little later. Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner. Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work. Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… 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 >

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >
