After a few days of too many FODMAPs, my gut was really really acting up.  I decided I had to get it on track stat. Thank goodness I sometimes plan ahead for moments like this, when I realize at 9 pm that I don’t have breakfast for myself, and then I pull home-made bread out of the freezer to thaw overnight. It was still a little icy when I sliced into it, but nothing a quick zap in the microwave couldn’t fix. Cashew butter como siempre. I really think that she may be the cutest… Read more >

Since I couldn’t decide on my birthday meal I told Kyle I was making it a double header.  Not like he cares – it is really no different from me cooking any other night.  Except that usually I get his input on the weekly menu (or at the very least his blessing) and for this week I kinda just said this is what I’m making because it’s what I want.

After getting up on and off throughout the night, I wasn’t exactly super motivated to work out, but I sucked it up and went on a reallllllly slow run.  My gut was feeling better after the previous day’s eats (it was doing all kinds of weird stuff – worse than it has been in a long time – when I went to bed the previous night, but I woke up feeling alright again). I fed the kids right away and then went to shower before making my own “pancakes”.  I was working with what I… Read more >
