This isn’t the first time I’ve made a grain free granola (aka no-grain-nola). You can see the non recipe for that one here. [Side note: I should really re-make that and measure things for you guys because it was good!] Anyway, this was another winner. I swear I’m going through granola by the pound. Daily. I made this mostly because I had a jar of pumpkin butter in the fridge that needed to get consumed before we made the trip up to Davis. Who has this pumpkin butter? It’s from Trader Joe’s and as… Read more >

Just a [link filled] reminder… Certain recipes are so good they are worth repeating. Often. Like quinoa granola. And egg & kale breakfast strata (in muffin form). And mushroom miso & squash stew. And daiya pizza. And vegetarian chorizo & kale rice casserole. By the way, I totally figured out what this meal reminds me of. I am reluctant to share though, since it’s (cringe) Hamburger Helper. Don’t judge, just make it. And baked potatoes with the works. [There’s more of that vegan chorizo] And mushroom stroganoff. [I added TVP this time to increase the… Read more >

Kyle’s been taking day trips away for business, which leaves me and P home alone together. I realize this is how most new moms function after their spouse’s paternity leave ends (if they even get any!), but for me it’s a whole new learning curve. Fortunately, my little guy is making leaps and bounds each and every day, so I can utilize the crib in the nursery (and video monitor) and boppy pillow (which neither of us were ready for during his first month of life). His neck is getting really strong and he’s… Read more >

Of all the times of the year to eat eggs, I seem to have lost interest this past (Easter) week. After practically a year straight of eggy breakfasts (my pregnancy craving for my 300ish days of pregnancy), I am back to the sweeter AM fare. Heyoooo, oats! This bowl had peanut butter (whipped into the grains), banana slices, and trail mix (WF bulk bin). This trend has been ongoing for the last week and since they all started looking the same, I just stopped taking pics… Ok, I guess I haven’t stopped taking… Read more >

For the first time since we arrived in Nor Cal, Kyle was able to sleep in spend the day with me (and not working). Sleeping in is a thing of the past. I made Kyle breakfast first while he got in some baby time. He misses P so much when he’s gone. That toast I made him is Semifreddi’s sour batard. One of the best breads in the Bay Area in my opinion. My breakfast was later because I was working on my dandy tea (still no GI upset with it, so that’s good). In… Read more >
