Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… Read more >

It’s that time of year!! Family visiting. Fires roaring. And work is getting slow (enough) because it’s the holidays so everyone can get together. We were in Chico this past weekend for a wedding, a 1st birthday, and a new baby visit. So many happy things to bring us all together!! We arrived in town on Friday evening and only swung by the hotel for a hot second to drop off our bags (I stayed in the car because P was asleep in the car seat). Immediately after we went to see Billy &… Read more >

I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >

Four score (and a really long time ago) I went to visit the Redwood Hill Farm dairy and creamery. I’m obsessed with their goat’s milk and lactose free dairy products, and they were nice enough to reach out to me to see if I was interested in taking a tour of the place. Ummm, yes please!! They were so thoughtful, in every aspect…arranging for me to meet the owner Jennifer….giving P a stuffed animal goat…touring the dairy…meeting the goats…and sending me home with mega samples! Not just of cheese either! They grow TONS on… Read more >

Soooo, I’m on a roll with the creamy vitamix recipes. Cashews > Dairy Guess who’s not a big a fan of the vitamix? Poor little guy gets freaked when the motor starts going. 🙁 He’s fine when I hold him next to the blender, but unless he’s in his mommy’s protective hold, he cries at the scary noise. Anyway, let’s get to the recipe because it was rich and thick and made Kyle do his omg-I-love-this-so-much-I’m-going-to-do-dirty-things-to-my-spoon face. I definitely licked the pot before cleaning it (after licking both my bowl and the ladle). The recipe… Read more >
