I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented. This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats. I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess). But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body. I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

I am… [So many ways to end the phrase] (a) crazy – from being by myself with an infant for almost two weeks (b) tired – for the same reason (c) proud – for landing an awesome job (d) nervous – for accepting said job (e) excited – for a visitor this weekend (f) lonely – because I haven’t met many people in Davis (yet!) (g) anxious – to begin a new chapter (h) happy – to spend money without feeling guilty (i) relieved – that Kyle is returning home today (fingers crossed) Oh! … 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 >

The first couple of weeks have flown by. It’s what everyone said would happen, and it is definitely the truth. The food in the hospital was okay. [I work at the same place I gave birth to P so I know exactly where the menu and cafeteria excel and fall short] Whoever told me the first meal after birth would be the best thing I ever ate lied. I didn’t take a photo of it, but I got two slices of french toast and a banana. Remember how much I adore the hospital’s french toast? … Read more >

That thing up there. That’s home-made sushi. Yeah. I know. [The fact that I had to explain what a food photo is…speaks volumes…right?] I’m really not sure what I’m worse at – rolling or slicing. But it was bad guys. Really bad. I welcome all comments that can assist in future sushi making. Clearly skimming the pamphlet that came with the sushi mat (back when I got it four years ago) wasn’t enough. For filling ingredients we went kinda untraditional. This was a tofu spread that I made with extra firm tofu, tahini, and soy… Read more >
