Up, down and around Nor Cal

First off, this salad was awesome. I added avocado like I always do, but it didn’t even need it. Seriously, the dressing was spicy in the perfect lip tingling way without being too too much.  It was for sure hot though. Yummmm… Definitely recommend for anyone who lives near Nugget. Now let’s talk about OIT. I made this insanely large smoothie before we left the house that morning.  It had kale, frozen berries, banana, and TONS of sun butter.  At least 1/4 cup but maybe closer to 1/2 cup.  I was super hungry because P… Read more >

Gobble offers

I think I can give more people free gobble meals!  I got such great feedback after last time and used up all my offers, so hopefully the people who got them enjoyed some awesome meals.  I just received this week’s box. I have no affiliation with the company and buy these on my own, but got fliers in the most recent box that told me to spread the word about this being their 3rd year in business.  I thought it was newer than that, so props to gobble for your third birthday.  In other gobble… Read more >

Work week

“Is it a weekend day or a work day?”  My kids and I have a similar affinity for the weekend when we are all together. They ask that question so many times a week.

Tuesday (that felt… Read more >

Happy Valley

How many popsicles is too many popsicles?  I’m going to say the limit does not exist because nobody seems to have tired of them yet!  I’ve been making them with fruit and fruit and not much else so it’s basically just a different form of eating what they’d be eating anyway. Hers have been mainly banana and applesauce because I’m still not pushing it with foods that could hurt her gut. They make a really good snack actually.  I’m not sure why we haven’t eaten more this summer.  Actually I do know why – my… Read more >

It’s not about me

Where to start. Where. To. Start. V came down with a GI bug that was pretty horrible, and of course made even worse by the fact that she is in a cast.  I’ll spare you the details, but suffice it to say, I’m nervous about what her skin will look like in a few weeks when this thing comes off.  I’ve never looked forward to anything more than this cast removal.  I hate to play the victim here, because she is the one suffering, but I am barely staying afloat right now, and the only… Read more >
