For the past 6 days Kyle and I have been in the East Bay. It’s incredible having P in my hometown – and very cool/weird/surreal taking him to all the places I grew up around. He’s also gotten to meet some of my bestest friends. But I’ll back up to the trip to get here…because we were slightly apprehensive knowing we had a 6+ hour drive with a baby. We’ve conquered hour long walks no problem. Short outings are a breeze. But the I-5 is a whole other ball game – there are 35… Read more >

What a tease of a post title! Ok, but seriously, there are two things that I cannot wait to share. Both are in the photo below. Number 1. The bread. Technically it’s still a work in progress, but already I can tell it’s got lots of potential. It’s the best I’ve done yet. And for a gluten free breadmaker recipe, it’s good enough to share. Because this GF bread doesn’t use bean flours. And I threw everything in the breadmaker just like I would with a wheat loaf. I am so freakin’… Read more >

Look what Mr. Savory requested for breakfast! Kyle was really proud of his idea for trail mix pancakes. He wants full credit for this breakfast concept (even though I made them), so if you’ve seen these before just keep it to yourself. 😉 I made the batter the night before (leaving the trail mix out) and in the morning breakfast was pretty much ready to go. Trail Mix Pancakes [yields ~10-14 small pancakes] Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 2 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup almond milk… Read more >

Not a typical statement (or opinion). For me at least. But I’m being honest here. Between the hours of noon and 5 pm, I graze. Meals have no room here anymore. And I’m not super proud of what has been going in my mouth this last week. It’s not terrible stuff. But it still leaves me feeling blah. I can do better. I miss well balanced full meals. They’re easier to build – with all the macronutrients represented. And they leave me sated for hours (until my next full meal). Grazing is confusing. I’m not… Read more >

Since a lot of people have been interested in our budget friendly meal planning, here’s what we had this past week. [Spoiler alert: they’re all really inexpensive dinners] Monday Egg noodles with teriyaki tofu, broccoli, & cashews The organic broccoli was leftover from one of last week’s dinners. The roasted salted cashews are a pantry staple. The egg noodles were on sale at WF (we used half of the 1 lb bag/$1.69). The organic tofu was from WF (I baked the whole block/$1.69). As usual, the ‘fu was pressed for 2-3 hours, then baked for… Read more >
