The return of kale and coffee

Finally feeling back to normal!  And with the help of daily kombucha, my gut may not be as wonky and off as it would be post illness otherwise. I made heaps of pancakes for breakfast because I needed extra for P to bring to school the next day. For my own breakfast, I made a smoothie with bananas, berries, chia seeds, walnuts, almond milk, and collagen after biking P to school.  I can’t help but think the collagen is doing good things for my gut too. Mmmmm.  Open gym with V after that.  Still no… Read more >

Getting back in the (eating) game

He is so proud of himself! I don’t have much in the way of food photos for Monday because I basically didn’t eat much. I sipped a trilogy kombucha all morning and afternoon long and my stomach was pretty happy to have nothing in it but fizzy probiotics. I wasn’t even hungry.  So weird. We went to the park and then IKEA because we needed (yes NEEDED) popsicle molds.  It was an easy enough outing and they loved playing in the kids section and testing out the big kids beds.  Together. We made popsicles once… Read more >

Up and down weekend

This is how big I want my bar, okay mama? Hard to say no to such a sweet (and healthy) request. I have had glimpses of a return to good health after my initial take down, but I keep having lingering moments that suck. I’m not sure when I’ll feel 100% again.  In the meantime, I’m at least functional as a mom.  My GI system is hibernating, so I’m just letting it.  While trying my best to distract the kids from my blah.  Our Saturday plans were cancelled so we took the opportunity to enjoy the nothingness… Read more >

We ate out at a restaurant!

As a FOURSOME!  Meaning all four of us ordered from the menu and ate the food that was prepared in a restaurant kitchen and I didn’t pack up ANYTHING to bring!! Weeee! It was a big moment. We went to Pushkin’s Restaurant (again) because it’s entirely gluten and dairy free, and remains one of the best brunches we’ve ever had.  They have a vegan menu too, although P wanted bacon and eggs so we didn’t regard that menu this time. They don’t even have (cow) butter on the premises!  They make everything – hollandaise, baked… Read more >

The week before the bug hit

I thought I was better…alas…I am not.  So while I wait out this GI fiasco, I’ll slowly try to get caught up on older posts. I am almost living off kombucha at this point, so it’s good I have food from long ago to share. PS I got a 6 pack of this kevita brand at Costco because it was a good deal…I usually don’t stray from GT’s, but for under $2 a bottle I made an exception.  I like it fine, but I prefer GT’s.  I’d probably still buy it again (because I’m frugal), but I’d… Read more >
