The weekly menu

Oy.  Where to start with this one. I feel like I haven’t even been home so I hardly have an organized menu.  On top of that, Kyle’s been out of town for all but, like, two days these past two weeks (which were days we weren’t in Davis anyway…).  We all know I will happily eat the same thing 8000 days in a row (kale salads) if there’s nobody else to force me not to.  So picture the above times a million. Not joking. The last post I wrote was from Idaho.  We were there visiting Kyle’s… Read more >

The weekly menu (kinda)

Lots of weeks seem to have passed without me sharing food recipes or menu planning or anything.  I have been busy busy.  But isn’t it annoying when people say that?  Who ISN’T busy?  Kyle’s been gone…and then we ditched town for the weekend…and then we came back home…and ditched town again.  Home with only one adult for random days makes economical meal planning difficult, which is why most of my dinners look the exact same as my lunches.  Kale salads. Copycat-ing the Costco bagged salad I heart so much! Kale + cabbage + pumpkin seeds +… Read more >

Sunwarrior protein powder bark

I have a new favorite (easy) bark recipe… It only has TWO ingredients!!! Chocolate? Check! Coconut?  Check? AND PROTEIN! Wait protein?  So maybe you’re thinking these two worlds shouldn’t mingle…like who wants dessert to try to be healthy??  I hear you.  Make no mistake, this is not something you’ll find on your family’s holiday spread.  But you don’t need butter and sugar to make a yummy after dinner treat.  Exhibit A… I know I have been all up in the protein powder lately, but this one is THE BEST CHOCOLATE flavor.  I mean it.  It’s flavor is unparalleled….

The weekly menu

How about I just jump right in.  Dinners! Kyle manned the grill last Sunday and did salmon.  This was the last of the bulk salmon I bought and vacuum sealed and it was still just as good as the first portion.  Shocker of all shockers, there were leftovers!  First time I’ve ever UNDER estimated pacman’s appetite. I roasted red potatoes and made a corn salad which was basically a deconstructed version of a classic Mexican street corn.  This one but with goat feta instead. The second surprise of the meal was that P ate potatoes!!  Lots of them, no… Read more >

Allergy trial [update]

I’ve been trying to find a way to write this in order to maintain privacy for P but still share enough details to be helpful for other allergy moms.  It’s a fine line, which is why it has taken me so long to post.  But I know other people find the allergy posts to be some of the most useful so here’s the latest. Last week we went to Stanford for a screening.  Ok, let me back up.  Months ago I read this article and immediately reached out to the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research… Read more >
