This is a small snack. The “before” photo is so clean. Let me tell you, persimmons make one hell of an “after” photo. Like a blood bath! Naps are complicated. When they happen, I’m on cloud 9. Lunch in peace and quiet. That’s nearly a whole bag of TJ’s lacinato kale by the way. Tossed with quinoa and coated in creamy broccoli soup. We put up our tree and hung our stockings. P loves all of it. He says “de” and points to all the things. He wants to communicate so badly. I… Read more >

This weekend was full of relaxing at home. Thank goodness! Last weekend I came down with mastitis and was way too ambitious for my own good. We went to a football game with a couple and their 6 month old on Saturday. And then traveled to the East Bay for a baby shower on Sunday. It was really fun, but I my suffer-in-silence-and-just-push-through-it approach completely backfired. Come Monday I felt like crap and it was just me and pacman left to our own devices. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by my stubbornness…nobody? Yeah that’s… Read more >

Turns out I eat a lot. 🙂 Ha. As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted). Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES! Of course! I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… 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 >

The last few posts have had more elaborate (for me) meals, so I figured I’d throw a few of my stand by quickies your way. I don’t usually take photos of the boring repetitive meals because they’re not that exciting. But I don’t cook fun things all the time and it’s only fair to show my lame side (lest you think I’m super homemaker hippie). Eggs. The cheap protein that can be the star of any meal in a minute. Basic Veggie Egg Fried Rice [vegetarian, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 2 tbsp garlic infused… Read more >
