Trying something new

[This is an old post I just found in my drafts…oops!] For the first time in…hmm…maybe a year? I took a kid grocery shopping with me. The kids hate grocery shopping (who doesn’t) and so ever since they started school (you know, wayyyyy back in 2019 when school was in-person and I had some time to myself), I would go without them. Then covid hit and solo shopping became a requirement for a whole other reason. But a few weekends ago V made the trek with me (I never thought she’d call my bluff when… Read more >

Choose your own adventure curry

Tomato coconut curry anyone? If you have a moderately well stocked pantry/freezer, you probably don’t even need to go shopping to make this. Pantry items:-olive oil-canned coconut milk-canned tomatoes-curry powder-rice-canned chickpeas (optional) Freezer items:-frozen veggies (peas, zucchini, broccoli)-chicken breasts or thighs (optional) Anything else you may add is purely bonus – like onion, garlic, ginger, fresh veg. See? You could make this tonight!! First (if you have it/want it) chop a small onion, garlic, or ginger and saute in olive oil. Next add in one can each of coconut milk and diced tomatoes as well… Read more >

Breakfast lunch and dinner

More bread and butter. I guess all those acai bowls in Hawaii saturated my sweet tooth because lately all I am craving in the morning is salty butter. And another farro and kale salad with all the usual suspects – feta, candied walnuts, dried cranberries, etc. Plus lemon miso dressing. And carrots on the side. And a kombucha in the afternoon. Standard. It seems like the only variable in my menu is dinner! What can I say? I’m a creature of habit. When I find things I like, I tend to get in ruts and… Read more >

Anxiety check in

How is everyone doing? I’m writing this on Tuesday night while watching old eps of Schitt’s Creek because I know nothing is going to be sorted out tonight. I have gone through at LEAST ten different rollercoasters rides and every time I get to the end and it’s the same. No clue. So now I’m going to share Sunday’s dinner and go to bed. And when I wake up, who knows! Kyle’s been crushing the grilling game. I got a NY strip steak for the kids to split and filet mignon for me and Kyle…. Read more >

Breakfast lunch and dinner

We have officially been back for a week and we are basically kinda sorta adjusted. Daylight savings time didn’t do us any favors, but that’s to be expected by now. I thought we voted to get rid of that? Here are some of the food pics from one day last week… Breakfast of champions. All I want is butter (salty butter to be specific) on bread these days. This was my second cup of coffee, which is why it is black. I like my first cup to be suuuper creamy, but then my next cup… Read more >
