Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog. I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off. And that’s that. Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners: I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again. This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish. Boom. Party in my mouth. That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches. Even… Read more >

Trrrrrrrrouble. [Don’t be deceived by this photo, he’s not crawling. At. All. He rolls to get everywhere. He’s surprisingly mobile for only using rolling as a means of travel. I’m sure I’ll be swallowing my words later but it would be nice if he showed some signs of crawling. Like maybe contact with the ground. On the other hand, he’s basically ready to walk since he holds himself up using the coffee table or wall as support…hmmm…tummy time to standing? Kids are confusing.] On Thursday my parents came to Davis to visit for a few… Read more >

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain. Wah wah. Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary. I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found. I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it. Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault. So I… Read more >

Remember how I don’t keep multiple desserts in the house at once? I lied. I have become a treat-seeking-night-shift-nurse-who-demands-sugar-as-a-reward-on-her-days-off. That’s a thing in case you didn’t know. I’m sure there’s a DSM-V diagnosis somewhere in there if you look hard enough. Food as a reward, huh. Not a good plan Elise. Psychiatrists avert your eyes. So about these guys. They’re healthy. Ish. I suppose the fact that I made them just because I had an itch to eat something sweet tells you the most important thing: they’re sweet. Beyond that, though, they’re not… Read more >

I know it’s all like pumpkin this and pumpkin that and pumpkin all. the. things. up in blogland, but I actually have a non-pumpkin quick bread recipe today. For the record, I will be making up for lost time and squashing my face away for the next 90 days so don’t you worry about the absence of gourds this first week of fall. We all know October is the best month ever. It’s pink, it’s my birthday, it’s football, it’s comfort food. It’s everything good. So we will get there soon, promise. In… Read more >
