Pretty much my breakfast all week. Except for this one. With nomnompaleo’s cinnamon banana coconut pancakes. Thanks for the suggestion Ttrockwood. 🙂 Hipster babe. Brussels before and after. I used this recipe and it’s my new favorite way to eat ze sprouts. For the record, I’m not a picky one with the cruciferous category (I love all my greens in sickness and in health), but Kyle is and he loved them too…so if that’s any indication of the yum factor, there you go. omgomgomgomgomg [fingers crossed] You all know about that whole… Read more >

Making quick breads is really as easy as it gets. Kind like learning your A,B,C’s – once you figure out the basics, it’s a snap! I promise I didn’t plan the name of this bread around that little theme, but it was too perfect to NOT call this ABCD bread. If you like dates, you will like this bread. If you don’t (you’re crazy but oh well), you could sub in raisins. It doesn’t have much of a rise, which I may try to figure out in future versions. Maybe extra baking powder or… Read more >

I fell in love this week and ate the same thing 4 nights. Or at least a variation of the same thing. It all revolves around this goat’s milk feta by Redwood Hill Farm. OMG you guys. Oh Em Gee. Truth: I got this sample from the company when I visited their farm a few weeks ago. It sat in the fridge all this time because (silly Elise) I thought I didn’t like feta. I’ve never tried feta, so I don’t know why I thought this, but it’s just never been appealing to me. … Read more >

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 >

We’ve hit a road block hiccup (fingers crossed?) in the sleeping schedule and I’m too tired to post much. My little man rung in his 4th month with some crankiness and of course it aligns with me going back to work so I have huge amounts of mommy guilt going on…in addition to the normal desperation of trying to figure out what’s wronggggggg? Isn’t it funny how parents ask their infants that knowing full well a response is out of the question. Anyway. He’s still an exceptionally happy baby so I’m sure it’s just… Read more >
