This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food. I think I got everything. Cantaloupe. With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect. Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it! For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs. Basically a mini disaster. I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk. It… Read more >

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado. Oh look! A non-egg breakfast! We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative. Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it). In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >

After a long work week, Kyle and I soaked up the weekend like two sponges. And of course, I’m only just now getting around to blogging about it. So pathetic. But let’s just pretend this is timely and the weekend was yesterday, okay? Starting with a Friday date night at Whole Foods. He got off work before I did so he walked from our apt and met me there once I peaced out of the hospital. I had salad bar ADD, but eventually got myself squared away with a monster salad – complete… Read more >

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning. The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed. After breakfast I set to work on mega errands. Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away). On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more. To do list, game on. Eventually, I… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway. Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends. The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe. Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >
