Wednesday fun

Excellent start to the day 🙂 I think I posted the pic of these when they first came out of the oven.  I used almond and cassava flour.  This was my first time using cassava flour. Lunch was smaller than usual because they had a bunch of snacks over the course of the morning…kidney beans, diced raw bell peppers, and steamed green beans.  Followed by blueberries. Afternoon fairy yard time. With a muffin as a snack.  I have some of Gwyneth’s sweet potato five spice in the freezer, so I warmed them up, split it in half,… Read more >

Cherry season!

GUYS! The cherry tree is doin’ it’s thang.  It’s amazing.  I started picking them a teeny bit early because if I don’t get them now, the birds will get them alllll. I forgot to take pics of their breakfast, but I did get a picture of mine. At the start of this year, I specifically left one of the mornings that P was in school unscheduled so V and I could have a weekly breakfast date.  We went sporadically throughout fall – usually to WF – and then I just sort of fell out of the… Read more >

One day at a time

Oh hi chocolate banana milkshake that is healthy. We had planned on going to a park this morning, but P had a reaction to his am dose so I was keeping it mellow indoors until he got through it.  A few hives this time, and a pretty brutal case of congestion and wheezing, but meds and time (and snuggles) heal all. V is less understanding, but it’s all good now.  It’s easier to talk about once it’s over, because when you’re in it, you’re just kinda waiting…and waiting…and waiting…to see how bad this is gonna get… Read more >

Kyle made my Sunday awesome

We were both SO exhausted when we woke up on Sunday, but I powered through a bike ride and then made pancakes for the babes.  I had pulled a banana bread from the freezer the night before for Kyle, so all I needed was food for moi. Luckily I had one last muffin. With sunbutter because I wanted to add something sweet. P and I went to church after breakfast (he had no issues with his am dose, hooray!) but he was kinda weird at Sunday school drop off, so he stayed in church with… Read more >

Emotional eating

Ugh.  It’s been a loooong end to the week.  Weekends are supposed to be restorative and get you refreshed for the work week ahead, but they’ve been anything but relaxing these days.  Stressful, in fact.  We are too busy and as a result I’m choosing food that’s not the best for my body and it’s making me feel blah and I don’t like it.  I could make a million excuses about it, but the reality is, they are choices I’m making, soooooo…I should stop.  But food is comforting and sometimes I just want what I want because… Read more >
