Maybe it’s just me, but I find it exciting seeing what new (to me) products are available in different areas. I have been seriously enjoying browsing the shelves of our local co-op and grocery stores (Nugget, Whole Foods). The prepared foods sections have all kinds of different stuff and there are tons of hippie friendly companies with local distribution! I love it. I’m sure it’ll eventually get old – or at least less wondrous – because I was just as enchanted when we first moved to Santa Monica and I had 6 Whole Foods stores… 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 >

Kyle’s been taking day trips away for business, which leaves me and P home alone together. I realize this is how most new moms function after their spouse’s paternity leave ends (if they even get any!), but for me it’s a whole new learning curve. Fortunately, my little guy is making leaps and bounds each and every day, so I can utilize the crib in the nursery (and video monitor) and boppy pillow (which neither of us were ready for during his first month of life). His neck is getting really strong and he’s… Read more >

Of all the times of the year to eat eggs, I seem to have lost interest this past (Easter) week. After practically a year straight of eggy breakfasts (my pregnancy craving for my 300ish days of pregnancy), I am back to the sweeter AM fare. Heyoooo, oats! This bowl had peanut butter (whipped into the grains), banana slices, and trail mix (WF bulk bin). This trend has been ongoing for the last week and since they all started looking the same, I just stopped taking pics… Ok, I guess I haven’t stopped taking… Read more >

I made a major mistake and didn’t say decaf when I ordered this (venti soy misto) before we hit the road to come home from NorCal. I was very perky! I hope P didn’t get as high as I did off the caffeine! Oops!! The rest of the road trip was similar to the first one – Kyle and I traded off driving duties and our little man slept 99% of the time. I packed up our eats again. Similar as always. Brown rice, half an avocado, & two hard boiled eggs with a nooch… Read more >
