Happy St. Patrick’s Day! No pinching allowed here 🙂 In honor of my little man…and our Irish roots…I’ll share a bunch of recent [green] eats. As you’ll soon see, I have been in a major kale rut. And salad rut. Neither are bad things. 😛 Salad heaven #1: chard, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado, & Sabra’s seasonal rosemary and olive oil hummus Expo West sample: Brad’s kale chips Vegetarian “chorizo” and kale rice casserole (recipe coming for this one because oh my gaaaaahhhh) Salad heaven #2: kale, romaine, tomatoes, carrots, avocado and 365 sesame goddess dressing… 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 >

That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday. Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica. I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times. My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns. Holy breakfast right? You can choose between fruit or hash browns (can’t say no to fried taters!)… Read more >

Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night. Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup. Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again. Make breakfast #1. A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas. I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does). Play on the computer. Respond to emails and blog comments. Make & prep food… Read more >
