My dad came yesterday and built a raised bed with me and the kids and I can’t wait to fill it with dirt and get some seeds in the ground! I love that they get to see projects like this happen from zero to produce. We went to open gym before he arrived so they had at least burned off a little bit of energy…the rain had just finally stopped so it was still pretty damp outside, but they managed to steer clear of the power tools and not end up completely covered in mud… Read more >
Why not start off with chocolate? This dessert plate has Lily’s crispy rice chocolate bar, TJs chai almond chocolate bar, TJs golden spiced chocolate bar, and TJs firecracker bar. I had odds and ends to finish off so I just took care of business. I didn’t take a pic of either the banana bread I made, but that’s because the banana bread was for my man so I packed it up in his lunches. And this was the only shot I got of the zucchini bread I made (for myself), because I’ve had a hard time plating… Read more >
I have had a doozy of a week. Parenting is hard, yo. I feel like I’ve been cutting a few corners in the kitchen as a result.

You can’t find bulk non-dairy yogurt here in Davis anymore, so I have lists of WF things for my weekly Fremont… Read more >
I just figured I should pop in and give an update. OIT is going well…slow and steady… The Thursday evening driving is not my favorite, but on the days he doesn’t have t-ball we can leave at a decent hour and so I don’t arrive at my parents’ house feeling like a scrambled egg. I’ve given up on naps, but he still so clearly needs some mid day sleep since he passes out in the car anytime we drive somewhere after 3 pm. On this particular day he fell asleep before we even left the garage…. Read more >
I realize there are a million home delivery cooking businesses right now, but one of my friends told me about this one and I figured I could give it a shot. It’s different than some others I’ve heard of because it boasts only 10 minutes of prep (which is the reason I was interested in trying it). For the record, this post isn’t sponsored by gobble. They don’t even know I exist. I ordered while we were in LA for delivery that week we got home. I chose the three meals that I thought looked… Read more >
