As you can see, I like my iced tea reallly almond milky. How I make it is recipe-free, but I brew pitchers of tea at a time (no sweetener) using 4 tea bags for my 2 liter pitcher. I add boiling water to it, let it steep for a while then put it in the fridge to cool (but continue to steep) overnight. In the morning I remove the teabags. Then, each day I pour some over 3-4 ice cubes, and then add maple syrup and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Sometimes I can get the… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend. It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek. Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

Well, you guys have blown me away. The comments on this post literally brought tears to my eyes…I felt so much love. I want to say thank you to every single one of you who wished us congratulations (and I will get to it…). Obviously Kyle and I are beyond thrilled and it’s been sooo hard to keep this a secret (I’m shocked nobody was on to me earlier!). I will probably blog more about the earlier pregnancy stuff in time, but for now back to regular posting… *************** Since we were away this weekend… Read more >

Caramel and chocolate. Almost better than nut butter and chocolate. Almost. What could this be? I love surprise packages. Kyle’s a keeper. I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family. And texts like the above are not uncommon. I mean seriously, how can you not melt?? Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right? I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something. Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >

After a long work week, Kyle and I soaked up the weekend like two sponges. And of course, I’m only just now getting around to blogging about it. So pathetic. But let’s just pretend this is timely and the weekend was yesterday, okay? Starting with a Friday date night at Whole Foods. He got off work before I did so he walked from our apt and met me there once I peaced out of the hospital. I had salad bar ADD, but eventually got myself squared away with a monster salad – complete… Read more >
