I don’t think the idea of paring pumpkin and peanut would have occurred to me before seeing this recipe of Katie’s. But it sounded like an interesting combo, and I only had a bit of pumpkin left, sooo…yeah…I made a pumpkin peanut butter stew and the rest is history. Pumpkin Peanut Butter Stew with Spinach & Tempeh [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 1/2 cup pumpkin (either use canned pumpkin or mash/puree a baked squash) 1/2 cup plain almond milk 3 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp maple syrup (omit with using sweetened PB) 1 tsp… Read more >

This weekend was full of relaxing at home. Thank goodness! Last weekend I came down with mastitis and was way too ambitious for my own good. We went to a football game with a couple and their 6 month old on Saturday. And then traveled to the East Bay for a baby shower on Sunday. It was really fun, but I my suffer-in-silence-and-just-push-through-it approach completely backfired. Come Monday I felt like crap and it was just me and pacman left to our own devices. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by my stubbornness…nobody? Yeah that’s… Read more >

Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog. I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off. And that’s that. Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners: I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again. This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish. Boom. Party in my mouth. That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches. Even… Read more >

My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week. Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable. Remember? Oh, and because this happened. Yup. So let’s start at the beginning. I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast. Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg. While I ate, Kyle went to the MD. Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >

This casserole was so good I’m still thinking about it. Kyle and I fought over the leftovers (meaning I made him promise he’d let me have them and he begrudgingly agreed). What can I say, it was goooood. I have lots of ideas for ways to tweak it, but in truth, I don’t think I’ll end up doing anything different the next time around because I don’t wanna mess with perfection. That said, I have a feeling it’ll make it’s way into repeat line of the dinner rotation so maybe down the road I… Read more >
