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 >

Last I left off was my birthday dinner. The next day we went to brunch at La Boulange. Mine is the salad on the right. Odd for a breakfast choice, but the taste buds wanted it. We hung around the house until my dad got home from work, then we walked to WF to grab sandos. This is the crappy iPhone shot I got. They were out of the Sonoma chik’n salad (which uses Beyond Meat), so I went with a basic vegetarian sando with the works. Vegenaise and avo together are good stuff. … 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 >

I rarely keep more than one dessert in the house because…well…because it’s dangerous. Ok, I ALWAYS have dark chocolate, but that doesn’t count because that’s just common sense a pantry staple. Anyway, despite the fact that I still had a slice of GF vegan chocolate cake left from our weekend in SF, I was in the mood to make some cookies yesterday. For Kyle (that’s what I told myself). Because he could use a little fattening up. Of course my baked treats are usually on the healthier end of the spectrum, so fattening… Read more >

Since summer is berry season, I’ve been unable to hold back when I see cartons of them for super cheap at the farmer’s market. It’s getting to be a problem. But honestly, they’re so bright and beautiful! So I have been freezing lots of them so I can have fresh organic summer berries year round. Even though I’m front loading the cost now, I’m pretty sure it’ll end up being cheaper than buying frozen organic fruit in winter. Plus this fruit is at it’s height of ripeness. You can’t get that in the freezer aisle…. Read more >
