It’s so weird that we haven’t been back to LA since we left back in April. We’ve seen several of our so cal friends since but not all of them so we decided to pop in for a quick visit. Honestly, we’ve been trying to squeeze a weekend in since this past fall, but then all this (good) stuff was happening with Kyle’s business…and then the holidays came along…and you know how it goes… But we finally got this in the calendar and what a fun time it was! Now. As much as I adore… Read more >

I did a pretty good job of meal planning that last week of the year. First we finished off all the holiday leftovers we brought back from my parents’ house, including stuffing, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, and lima bean casserole. One day, I jazzed it up and made a cheesy “gravy” sauce with nooch and water. And another day, I paired it with a salmon burger for some protein. Kyle took care of the rest of it. There was also extra shrimp and veggies from my parents’ holiday party so I pulled… Read more >

I have an insane collection of photos from the past two (three?) weeks. The holidays are just so crazy. It’s even more fun with a kid. I feel like we are creating memories and traditions. Blogging has been the last thing on my mind. Actually it’s not the blogging part that’s the issue, it’s the uploading photos and editing part. Why is that so annoying and time consuming? I love connecting with you guys! I’ve missed this. So that said. Here’s snippets of the stuff I’ve been eating and doing. Trader Joe’s gingerbread house… Read more >

Hi lashes! Here’s another insanely simple thing for people on the go. I made it back for Kyle when I had mastitis and wasn’t in the mood to cook.

Going old school with the “what I ate” style blogging. For breakfast I went to Crepeville with a coworker. She was just getting off (a really crappy) night shift, so she vented to me and I listened. P spent the morning throwing things from the stroller to the ground. Whatever keeps you amused little man. I got the tofu scramble which comes with both hash browns and a bagel. The portions at Crepeville are massively massive (LOVE!!!) so I took home the leftovers for Kyle. Which is the bagel you see above. Seriously Crepeville… Read more >
