Sunday is typically when we do our weekly grocery shopping. I usually brainstorm meals for the week on Saturday, asking Kyle for input (like if he’s craving something in particular that he wants me to make in the next few days) and then I create a grocery list that includes all the necessary ingredients (plus whatever things have already been added to the list throughout the week). We usually drag our feet all weekend long, waiting until Sunday evening to go to Whole Foods, because we both loathe shopping (I’m not sure when this developed… Read more >

How smart is Costco? I mean, they charge for membership. Then they entice you with samples. And they have EVERYTHING. All for a cheaper price than you’d find (almost) anywhere else. But here’s the downside. You don’t need a 10 pound block of cheese or 50 veggie burgers at once. Unless you’re about to cater a party, for vegetarians, that’s an insane amount of food to have at your house. And really, who has enough fridge/freezer space for that? So how do you use Costco (or Sam’s Club or whatever bulk store you shop at)… Read more >

Not a very glamorous title, but it’s all I’ve got. Explanations following the things that I think need them. Dinner and the next day’s lunch (for Kyle). Pumpkin sage ravioli bob-bob-bobbing their heads up to say hi. Minimalist toppings include olive oil, parmesan, & peas. Vegan carrot cake. I froze it after our baby shower. The cake part was good, the frosting wasn’t my fave. FYI, this cake is made by Fabe’s and sold by Whole Foods. It’s gluten free and vegan, so the fact that the cake part was good is… Read more >

I feel like this is what every third trimester soon-to-be-mom says at some point, but to hell with the cliché. I HAVE NO MORE ROOM. Ugh. I’m so full and it’s depressing that it’s not from food. Ok, that sounded bad. I don’t mean I’m depressed that my son is a big healthy baby – that makes me very very happy. What I’m bummed about is that I cannot honor my voracious hippie appetite in the way that I’m accustomed to doing. I wanna freakin’ chow down and it’s just uncomfortable. Lame. So much for… Read more >

Making breakfast at night for the next day is dangerous. Because no matter how full you are, the aroma of baked stuff is just too powerful. This is Kyle’s reaction to the strata coming out of the oven. He said (and this is a real quote) “I’m just going to take this upstairs into bed with me now, okay?”. Uh, no. Not okay. “Pleaseeeee?” The weird part was how much this smelled like butter. As it was baking, I checked on it a few times (more times than I normally would have) because it… Read more >
