Random odds and ends

I just found this draft from November!  Oh my gosh I feel like the worst blogger in the world.  Who does that???  HA.  Ok, well here’s something I almost shared with you months ago…enjoy!!  😉 Is it just me or did tofurky change their recipe?  I like it better now…it’s more like Field Roast (which has always been stellar, but is kinda $$$). I make composed meals on most nights, but sometimes sh!t hits the fans and I am too tired to go ahead with the planned meal.  On those nights, I turn to “the formula”… Read more >

The books were a huge hit and for some… Read more >

We had an afternoon with nothing planned so I asked P what he wanted to do and he said “art projects”… His painting skills are changing before my eyes and it’s cool to watch.  There was purposeful color coordination and attempts at doing one object at a time.  Lil Picasso.  😛 This is what it looks like when you go to Costco for the first time after your child “outgrows” a tree nut allergy.   Ha.  Fodmaps-wise I may be really sensitive to pistachios.  I never noticed it before, but I’ve had handfuls here and… Read more >

Cheeeeese

This is the face of a dude who just had his first sample at a grocery store.  Because obviously I NEVER do that.  We were at TJs a few weeks ago and there was basically no one in the store (probably because it was super early) and the sample was cereal (allergy free) and almond milk!  I read the labels twice just to be sure and then said “what the heck!  why not?!” and gave him a little cup and spoon.  Of course if you give a mouse a cookie, his little sister will want… Read more >
