Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >

When my hands are tied up and time is of the essence, I’ve been relying pretty heavily on two things. Theme number one: snack plates Veggies, meatless meatballs, Stubb’s BBQ sauce, Mary’s Gone twigs, sweet potatoes, daiya cheese, GF tortillas… This was a meatless meatball round (WF / 365 brand is bomb). I go through phases with faux proteins. Beyond Meat strips are a fave. So are hard boiled eggs. But sometimes I just stick to nuts instead of a “meat” snack item. These little plates are ideal for munching while P is not napping… Read more >

Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >

What an amazing weekend. Not just because I got showered with love. With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats. Man, it’s been a while since I made these! I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter. Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Tazo vanilla rooibos parfait (from Starbucks) Because I like my tea really (almond) milky, I’m always on the lookout for new decaf varieties that aren’t fruity and don’t have mint or chamomile in them (the two herbal flavors I am not a fan of). It’s surprisingly hard to find. And lately fennel is… Read more >
