Leading up to our trip, I tried to make the most of what we had leftover in the kitchen and freezer. The meals were mostly huge salads with grains – my effort to be cheap and use up every single perishable item in the house so nothing went to waste. As you can imagine, these weren’t the most inventive or exciting meals (also they were insanely repetitive) so I didn’t bother taking pics. I did, however, have photos of some of our dinners from the previous week that I never got around to sharing…so here… Read more >

Sometimes Kyle has lunch meetings and sometimes he’s home for breakfast so what I pack for him varies. I just ask him about his schedule the night before and what meals he wants. Last week I made a bunch of breakfast burritos for Kyle. I assembled them and rolled them up in foil all at once so I could just throw them in his lunch box the night before. So easy. I am seriously sorry about the photos, but there’s only so much you can do with an iphone at 9 pm. For the… 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 >

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 >

In the beginning of our relationship (8!!! years ago), Kyle and I ate different meals 99% of the time. Then he went vegetarian a year ago and we started eating the same things. It was pretty cool to plan dinners and grocery shop for us both in the same way. We still eat this way…until this past week… In an effort to clean out the fridge, I’ve been making a ton of not very FODMAP friendly meals for him. Meanwhile I’ve been on a total salad bender. They all have the same theme. NUTS! Lots… Read more >
