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 >

For the first time since we arrived in Nor Cal, Kyle was able to sleep in spend the day with me (and not working). Sleeping in is a thing of the past. I made Kyle breakfast first while he got in some baby time. He misses P so much when he’s gone. That toast I made him is Semifreddi’s sour batard. One of the best breads in the Bay Area in my opinion. My breakfast was later because I was working on my dandy tea (still no GI upset with it, so that’s good). In… Read more >

Not a typical statement (or opinion). For me at least. But I’m being honest here. Between the hours of noon and 5 pm, I graze. Meals have no room here anymore. And I’m not super proud of what has been going in my mouth this last week. It’s not terrible stuff. But it still leaves me feeling blah. I can do better. I miss well balanced full meals. They’re easier to build – with all the macronutrients represented. And they leave me sated for hours (until my next full meal). Grazing is confusing. I’m not… Read more >

Here’s the deal with that Portobello & Kale Sauté with Peanut Ginger Rice… It was really good, but totally jacked up my GI tract. Would I eat it again? Ugh, I wish I could say no, but I know I will. The leftovers are in the fridge just waiting for me to give in to my moment of weakness. Sure I could offer them up to Kyle (he loved the meal as well and has been in a huge kale craving phase lately), but I’m kinda selfish when it comes to certain things (like… Read more >

Monday Risotto Tuesday Quinoa quiche. It’s a cheap and easy staple. Not much else to say. I wish I could tell you this provided leftovers…but we are oinkers. Wednesday Curry stir fry with quinoa. This was the star of the show. I’ve been working on actually going through our pantry and (gasp) using all the stuff I’ve been hoarding since the 2000s. I got this jar of Patak’s mild curry paste the same time (and place) I got these noodles. Now that I just googled the company, I see they have a ton of pastes… Read more >
