Week ‘o eats

The whole shebang of last week in one post.  Here goes. Breakfast on Monday was the last of this savory bread and fried eggs.   Breakfast on Tuesday was out – I had a savory crepe with hash browns at Crepeville. Because Crepeville’s portions are awesomely massive I had leftovers for breakfast on Wednesday.  Which I paired with two fried eggs. Thursday I made steel cut oats in the rice cooker (the crock pot was already occupied) for our whole family.  I topped mine with a bunch of non-nut things (aka seeds galore) – including… Read more >

Lake Tahoe weekend

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe!  And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride.   Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax.  🙂   Ok, first unpack, then relax.  Food much?  You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month.  But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family).   Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?!  SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

Food from last week

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post?  Life before Thanksgiving did exist.  The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs.   And yet another savory breakfast.  The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there.   We made pies!  I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me.  He had a meltdown… Read more >

The best thing I ate this week

I fell in love this week and ate the same thing 4 nights.  Or at least a variation of the same thing.   It all revolves around this goat’s milk feta by Redwood Hill Farm.  OMG you guys.  Oh Em Gee. Truth: I got this sample from the company when I visited their farm a few weeks ago.  It sat in the fridge all this time because (silly Elise) I thought I didn’t like feta.  I’ve never tried feta, so I don’t know why I thought this, but it’s just never been appealing to me. … Read more >

Ruts and reining it in

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain.  Wah wah.   Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary.  I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found.  I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it.  Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault.  So I… Read more >
