Last week I took photos of my whole day of eats – something I rarely do anymore – and then I just forgot about it. But they were good meals worth sharing so I’m posting them now because it’s food related and this is a food blog! It’s pretty atypical for me to have oats in the mornings nowadays, so this creation is more of an anomaly than the norm. I was in the mood for peanut butter but I used sunbutter instead because I’m still nervous about eating nuts when I’m around P. Even… Read more >

Swoon. We spent too much time at Lamps Plus last Sunday buying a chandelier for…drumroll…our new house!!! I am still in shock. More on that later. In the two hours it took to find a suitable chandelier and matching chain, P managed to pee through an outfit and get super hungry. Like a total rookie mom, I was prepared for neither. We left at 11:30 thinking it would be a 30 minute trip, tops. But we were way wrong. Needless to say I made it work. I changed him in the car and cleaned… Read more >

Another post on allergy friendly baby meals (and other ideas/thoughts/notes). Here we are at 12 months… I was telling my mom recently that each day it feels like two steps forward & one step back in the eating department. [Actually I said one step forward, two steps back, but we really are moving in the positive so that’s an inaccurate portrayal of the situation] Truth be told, I bet all parents feel like this, even the ones without children with allergies. Some days he eats everything that touches his tray, other days he refuses… Read more >

Mama’s little helper. The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy. He’s non-stop exploring. Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys. And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab. Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch. I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately. I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus. I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

I’ve been keeping up with weekly meal planning for almost a year now – with random weeks off due to travel/holidays/etc.. But for the most part, it’s been a very successful technique in keeping our food budget in check. I thought it would be way more expensive once we started including meat, but it hasn’t been too significant of a difference because the marginal increase in animal protein is balanced by the fact that we all eat the same thing (thus, a decrease in overall ingredients). One meal as opposed to three. At least for… Read more >
