Week ‘o eats

The whole shebang of last week in one post.  Here goes. Breakfast on Monday was the last of this savory bread and fried eggs.   Breakfast on Tuesday was out – I had a savory crepe with hash browns at Crepeville. Because Crepeville’s portions are awesomely massive I had leftovers for breakfast on Wednesday.  Which I paired with two fried eggs. Thursday I made steel cut oats in the rice cooker (the crock pot was already occupied) for our whole family.  I topped mine with a bunch of non-nut things (aka seeds galore) – including… Read more >

Me and P

Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog.    I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off.  And that’s that.  Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners:   I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again.     This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish.  Boom.  Party in my mouth.   That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches.  Even… Read more >

Perfect Fall weekend

Trrrrrrrrouble. [Don’t be deceived by this photo, he’s not crawling.  At. All.  He rolls to get everywhere.  He’s surprisingly mobile for only using rolling as a means of travel.  I’m sure I’ll be swallowing my words later but it would be nice if he showed some signs of crawling.  Like maybe contact with the ground.  On the other hand, he’s basically ready to walk since he holds himself up using the coffee table or wall as support…hmmm…tummy time to standing?  Kids are confusing.] On Thursday my parents came to Davis to visit for a few… Read more >

Accountability day by day

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented.  This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats.  I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so  (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess).  But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body.  I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

Freezer meals for your summer veggies

I realize this looks like kinda a mess…buuuuut… What can I say? Do you eat with your eyes? No. I created this dish because I had squash for days and thought it would be a good idea to cook some bulk freezer meals so I have healthy home-made stuff on hand. Hello layerzzz. I ended up using 3 summer squash and 4 tomatoes, but you could really use whatever you have on hand…eggplant, zucchini, etc. The top is a corn meal crust, which I probably should have cooked a bit first because it ended up… Read more >
