Kyle and I had a date last weekend at Native Foods. Again. I love love love this place and so even though we swore we wouldn’t spend money going out to eat when we had so much food to finish off before moving, we got an invitation from friends (they picked Native Foods!!) and so we took it as a sign couldn’t turn it down. So here’s the thing. I’ve used the restaurant’s rewards card every single time we’ve gone and never gotten anything. We’ve been the Palm Springs location, the Culver City location, the… Read more >

I’ve sat down to write this post a few different times now. Each time I stop because I don’t know where to begin and how much to share. Here’s as much as I can get out for now. I’ve been withholding news. It’s really really exciting news. But it’s also bittersweet. Remember that trip up to Nor Cal? Where we visited my family and Kyle’s business in Davis? Yeah, we were actually doing some house hunting too. And guess what! We found a [perfect!!!!] place so easily, it’s like it was meant to be. I’m… Read more >

For the past 6 days Kyle and I have been in the East Bay. It’s incredible having P in my hometown – and very cool/weird/surreal taking him to all the places I grew up around. He’s also gotten to meet some of my bestest friends. But I’ll back up to the trip to get here…because we were slightly apprehensive knowing we had a 6+ hour drive with a baby. We’ve conquered hour long walks no problem. Short outings are a breeze. But the I-5 is a whole other ball game – there are 35… Read more >

Sometimes I get bummed out when I realize over the course of the day I’ve basically eaten nothing but toast with Earth Balance, bananas with nut butter, and crackers with hummus. In large quantities. These foods are delicious and healthy, yes. But inspired? Not so much. Which is why this simple but different lunch made me so very happy. I got rainbow chard at the farmer’s market and decided I had to use it in more ways than just a salad (or sandwich ingredient). I’ve done both of those things with it already, but… Read more >

It’s hard to write about food…all I want to do is chat brag about my baby boy. He’s perfect. So don’t be surprised if this blog veers a little in the family/baby direction. But for now, I’m here with food stuff. Even more than before, I need super fast meals. Preferably healthy ones that can be made one handed. I’ve basically been relying on the rice cooker and crock pot, per usual. [You can see this post for my go-to quick & easy week night meals] Love me a brown rice stir fry. … Read more >
