The weekend arrived and we were finally able to go out with all four of us again. Saturday started with a nice brunch at Cafe Indigo. It is clearly THE spot in Double Bay. Kyle got the blueberry pancakes (above) and I got my sister’s fave, the breakfast bruscetta (below). My sister got a new (to her) order, which looks very similar to the salmon benedict but has avocado instead of hollandaise. P fell asleep in the stroller at lunch so I cut out a bit early to go back home and put… Read more >

I’ve been keeping up with weekly meal planning for almost a year now – with random weeks off due to travel/holidays/etc.. But for the most part, it’s been a very successful technique in keeping our food budget in check. I thought it would be way more expensive once we started including meat, but it hasn’t been too significant of a difference because the marginal increase in animal protein is balanced by the fact that we all eat the same thing (thus, a decrease in overall ingredients).

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe! And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride. Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax. 🙂 Ok, first unpack, then relax. Food much? You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month. But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family). Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?! SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… Read more >

Hi lashes! Here’s another insanely simple thing for people on the go. I made it back for Kyle when I had mastitis and wasn’t in the mood to cook.
