I’ve been very uninspired lately. In the kitchen, in my day-to-day routine, in lots of ways…I just feel like I’m tired and bored all the time. It’s weird. My days off are so lazy. I read, I draw, I read some more. But I miss my desire to be in the kitchen. I don’t know where it’s gone. Thinking of dinner ideas is hard for some reason. And it’s never been like that before. I ask Kyle to suggest things since I seem incapable of coming up with anything other than eggs and toast and… Read more >

I have a million pics of meals with Udi’s GF buns. I’m not kidding. They are wonderful. And I got hooked when they were on sale, but now they are back to the (insane) $4.99/4 buns. Grrr. It’s a love affair mostly exclusive to breakfast but it does make it’s way to later meals too. Breakfast: toasted bun with Earth Balance, fried egg, and farmer’s market strawberries (SO GOOD!) Lunch: almond butter and banana sandwich on a bun The rest of the banana was eaten plain with extra spoonfuls of almond butter. I was… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend. It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek. Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >
