This is the kids’ favorite granola recipe. Like all granola, it’s SO easy to make.  And it’s much healthier and cheaper than cereal.  In terms of breakfast rotation, I make them pancakes and oatmeal more than anything else.  But the rest of the time, they want granola. This is a very basic recipe with lots of wiggle room for taste preferences, but for the purposes of our family’s diet, it is VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, NUT FREE, DAIRY FREE, and SOY FREE. It has a moderate amount of clusters, but is perfect for kiddo spoons. And… Read more >

Are you guys watching any of the Olympics?  We have been tuning in over the weekend when we remember (while the kids are napping).  I don’t get into the Winter sports as much as Summer ones, but it’s still cool to have on in the background.  There’s still a buzz of excitement that comes with it, even if I have no more than 5% of my focus on it. Anyway, our Saturday started off in a super special way!! Family stroller strides class! In honor of Valentine’s Day, the dads got to join in our… Read more >

Leftover night! This goat brie is so good!  Creamy and mild and the perfect pair to the Jillz crackers.  We had almonds, dates and nectarine jam too…the sweet and savory contrast.

I did stroller strides on Friday morning and skipped breakfast because my stomach was… Read more >

My mantra. Although Kyle wishes I could just eat without putting so much pressure on myself to have THE BEST meal every single time I feed myself.  I do too, if I’m being honest, but that’s just one of my quirks!  I want my food to be the most amazing delicious awesomeness and no amount of discussion is going to shake that from my system.  I know it’s insane but it is what it is. ANYWAY. Hey Urban Remedy!  It’s been a while!  I grabbed The Vegan Caesar on Friday when we were at WF… Read more >

I’m sorry for showing this salad AGAIN, but I can’t stop eating it.  I made it without avo this time, which was definitely not as good, but compensated by eating tripe the amount of candied walnuts.  I had to save the barely ripe avocados for dinner that night though. For dinner I made use of the rest of the crab meat I had from this dinner.  Wow that was a long time ago.  Hence the need to use the crab. I got these spring roll wrappers at Nugget the day before but when I opened… Read more >
