Everyone says the holidays are so much better through a child’s eyes but it’s absolutely true. I feel so cliché, but my first Christmas as a mom was just about the best one I’ve ever had. The other cliché about kids enjoying the wrapping more than the actual present is also 100% accurate. Tissue paper > anything and everything. Last weekend, Kyle and I celebrated our own holiday with just the three of us here in Davis on Sunday. Santa came and filled our stockings and we exchanged our gifts to each other. … Read more >

This is a small snack. The “before” photo is so clean. Let me tell you, persimmons make one hell of an “after” photo. Like a blood bath! Naps are complicated. When they happen, I’m on cloud 9. Lunch in peace and quiet. That’s nearly a whole bag of TJ’s lacinato kale by the way. Tossed with quinoa and coated in creamy broccoli soup. We put up our tree and hung our stockings. P loves all of it. He says “de” and points to all the things. He wants to communicate so badly. I… Read more >

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 >

I followed last week’s fitness and meal plan almost 100% (like 97%)! [I’m just as shocked as you are] The only thing I’m not posting a recipe for is the lentil “meatloaf” – but that’s because I’ve shared a few others already. This one was most like the mushroom version (the first link). The kale salad I made is basically this one. The chili recipe is here. And last, but NOT EVEN REMOTELY least, is the sausage & spinach stew. Okay, so this is my favorite dish at the moment. I had the leftovers for… Read more >

Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >
