Now that I’ve shared the big news, I can start talking about all the last minute things we’ve been up to as our LA residency comes to a close. On our drive back down to So Cal, Kyle and I created an LA bucket list. Unfortunately, we will not be able to hit up all the restaurants we wanted to. There’s too much food in our fridge/freezer (slash we need to save $$$) to justify going out to eat the way that we both want to. Which would have to be every night for… Read more >

During the first month at home, here’s what a typical day with our family of three looks like… 7 am: Wake up (for good). I usually don’t go back to sleep after P decides he’s hungry between 6-8 am. He eats every 2-4 hours or so throughout the night (it’s occasionally more frequent during the day) so if it’s before 6 am I usually try to go back to sleep again, but if it’s after that I just get up. Kyle showers while I change and breast feed and then brings the pack ‘n… Read more >

Recipe first, giveaway second. Cool? Or you can skip ahead to the end if you want. I won’t be offended. I was trying to make meatless meatballs, but they weren’t really cooperating, so instead we got sliders. The recipe still needs some work though (in my opinion). They taste good, so that’s not the issue. And for anyone wanting to make sliders (or bigger veggie burgers?), these would probably be good enough. I’m sure everyone is thoroughly sick of Super Bowl recipe ideas at this point (I know I am). So make these whenever. Or… 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 >

I (semi) promised my G-ma that I’d post about our baby shower (although you’ll notice I made no such promise about how timely the post would be). [Me + G-ma] In truth, I didn’t take my camera because I was just going to soak up all the fun and family time. But my aunt, cousins, sister, and mom did SUCH an outstanding job with everything – from the decor to the food – that I feel compelled to share. I’ll include a vegan/gluten free dessert recipe, too (so it’s worth your while to read). iPhone… Read more >
