Saturday and Sunday were weekend warrior status for me (boo). I work every 3rd weekend at the hospital which is a nice change from my previous jobs that were every other. I guess that’s one of the big differences between full time and part time. But it was still a bummer since the rest of the world had long weekend. Anyway, my holiday pay started at midnight on Sunday (I think?) so even though I didn’t work on Monday I still got a little somethin somethin for ruining my 3 day off getaway potential. … Read more >

Last weekend’s (eek, super delayed post, this is from 2 weekends ago!!) al fresco was indoors because IT. IS. SO. HOT. I pretend like I’m upset about this, but in reality, my complaints are all big fat lies. I love the sun. Summer months are the sh!t. But maybe I should back up. I actually took pics of the whole day’s eats. Well, almost. I had banana bread with two eggs for breakfast. We went to the co-op and the farmer’s market for grocery shopping, followed by a lunch date at Crepeville. I… Read more >

Like I said before, these are a cross between cornbread and muffins and fruit pie. Slightly sweet, hearty yet delicate, and light enough to eat a few without feeling like a sloth afterwards. Good for breakfast, snacking, or dessert!

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >

Another fun one. Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette. It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings. No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly. And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much. Clearly. But that means easy lunch leftovers. Before is above, after is below. Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again. I’m a… Read more >
