Another fun one. Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette. It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings. No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly. And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much. Clearly. But that means easy lunch leftovers. Before is above, after is below. Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again. I’m a… Read more >

Helloooooo lazy. This is pretty much as good as it gets for a quick week day meal. Allow me to demonstrate. Collect ingredients. Layer. Bake. So easy. And definitely delicious. I made this both gluten free and lactose free so Kyle and I could share it. It’s much easier that way. Isn’t it cool how the spaghetti is baked into the casserole? And the noodles are all plump. Considering how different GF noodles are than wheat noodles, I was happy this turned out as well as it did. I actually think… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >

This past (long) weekend was important for family time because Kyle headed back out of town for business on Tuesday morning (after being away the previous week). Gotta soak it up for the few days he’s around! I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but since his start-up is young and fragile, it’s important to take advantage of these opportunities so the company will continue to thrive. Growing pains are good. As I type this he is en route to Colorado…10 hours into the 18.5 hour drive. Ouch. So anyway. Saturday. He slept… Read more >

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it. Lots of outdoor time! Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing. Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar. I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >
