I have been eating the same thing (nut butter & jam) on repeat so I decided on one of my days off last week to do something special. Pancakes! These are gluten free but not vegan (I used an egg to bind them). They turned out lovely and I’m sorry to say I didn’t follow a recipe at all, nor did I write down what I did as I made the batter. Here’s what I can tell you. The flours I used were brown rice & almond. I used lucuma powder as a sweetener. And… Read more >

Here’s some of the meals I prepped for last week. If you recall, making bulk grains in the rice cooker was one of the things on the checklist. I used this wild rice in Kyle’s breakfast burritos (with lentils, salsa, and cheese) and in my lunch salads (with lots of veggies). And then in this dinner, of course. Pesto Wild Rice [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 2 cups cooked wild rice 1 cup corn 1/2 cup pesto (FODMAPs people omit garlic or use garlic infused olive oil) Directions: Cook rice. Mix in corn and… Read more >

Who doesn’t love a nice organized to-do list? This past week was a little different because Kyle was out of town a few nights working. But he came home to sleep a little bit in between (night shifts). And he wanted me to pack all his food so he wouldn’t eat crap on the road. Hence the need for a very mapped out menu. I can’t stay organized without it all written out nowadays. My head is too full of other crap (like the tune to head shoulders knees and toes…make it go away!). Breakfast… Read more >

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 >

That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday. Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica. I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times. My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns. Holy breakfast right? You can choose between fruit or hash browns (can’t say no to fried taters!)… Read more >
