There was a lot of food in the house on Thursday. And the Wednesday before. Actually, the Tuesday before too! We set off for my parents’ house after I got my hair cut (finally!!!) on Tuesday evening, so by the time we got there P’s bed time had come and gone and he was not thrilled in the least. Fussy pants was quickly soothed by the heaps of attention he received once more relatives arrived. Family! The house was jam packed with people, so the 3 of us shared a room which meant sneaking in… Read more >

I worked nights this weekend and only got 2 hours of sleep while home during the day, so I make no promises on the clarity or content that follows… I have no idea when I made or ate this lunch bowl. I don’t even know what day it is. It had Beyond Meat southwest strips, carrots, and avocado. A really simple chop salad – if you can even call it that! I’m still loving Beyond Meat. The southwest flavor isn’t too strong (I was worried it would only be good for a Mexican themed meal,… Read more >

This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >

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 >
