Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >

When my hands are tied up and time is of the essence, I’ve been relying pretty heavily on two things. Theme number one: snack plates Veggies, meatless meatballs, Stubb’s BBQ sauce, Mary’s Gone twigs, sweet potatoes, daiya cheese, GF tortillas… This was a meatless meatball round (WF / 365 brand is bomb). I go through phases with faux proteins. Beyond Meat strips are a fave. So are hard boiled eggs. But sometimes I just stick to nuts instead of a “meat” snack item. These little plates are ideal for munching while P is not napping… Read more >

Talk about a lettuce with a kick! Arugula is something fierce. I’m not a huge fan, to be honest, but if it’s amongst other greens I don’t mind it. But like I mentioned before, we got a ton from our neighbor, so I had to figure out something to do with it. I think it’s best paired with meat, but that’s not an option for me, so I cooked it into a couple of veggie stratas. The first went with Kyle on his drive to Colorado. The second I made for myself. Arugula Tomato Strata… Read more >

Yup. I did this. I took a photo of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But trust me, it was no ordinary PB&J. Udi’s GF bread. Pacific Beach organic peanut butter. Mom’s home-made raspberry jam. And bacon!!!!!!!!!! Question: When will it end? Answer: Never [I hope]. Last bite… 🙁 Who else makes sure their last bite is the “perfect bite” with every component in it in the ideal proportion? Anyone else? I know Ethel does this too, but Kyle thinks we are weird. I beg to differ. He will eat a… Read more >

This past (long) weekend was important for family time because Kyle headed back out of town for business on Tuesday morning (after being away the previous week). Gotta soak it up for the few days he’s around! I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but since his start-up is young and fragile, it’s important to take advantage of these opportunities so the company will continue to thrive. Growing pains are good. As I type this he is en route to Colorado…10 hours into the 18.5 hour drive. Ouch. So anyway. Saturday. He slept… Read more >
