pizza dough

What can I say?

This weekend was just plain awesome.  I don’t know what else to say.  My sister came to visit.  My friends threw me a baby shower.  And I just felt so loved.  And fortunate.  Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived!  Hooray 🙂   While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read.   I had a snack a little later.  Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

Details details

Here’s a breakdown of a few of the meals from last week. First, the personal pizzas.   The only difference between Kyle’s pizza and mine was the cheese.  His was a cheddar and parmesan mix, mine was Daiya.   I used Vicolo organic corn meal crusts.  I’ve seen them at WF forever, but this was the first time I bought them.  Totally love them.  Going to buy them again and again and again now.  I can’t stress just how in looooove Kyle and I both were with these pizzas.   FYI, Vicolo is a San… Read more >

A rough week

Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar.  In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour.  That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week.  I can’t get away from the place!  Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc.  Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them.  Instead I just figured… Read more >

Birthday week fun

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms.  As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me.  But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.”  He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

A wedding and a bump

Where oh where to begin.  Last weekend was so full. On Thursday we drove home via the glorious I-5.  If I had to guess how much of my life I’ve spent on that drive… So Thursday morning I got up early because I had a few things I wanted to get done before the commute home.  First, breakfast. Another vegan tofu “scramble” with a sliced peach on the side (as if you couldn’t figure out what that fruit was). And my folate, DHA and iced tea.  Naturally. After breakfast, I ran some errands, and then… Read more >
