Special Sauce

I have been living off salads, but not all are of the lettuce variety.  Broccoli and cauliflower are a-okay to fill in when greens are low.  A while ago I was staring into the fridge with slim pickins looking back at me so I opened the freezer aaaaand… Broccoli!  Cauliflower!  I tossed them with the measly greens from the garden, hemp seeds, and dried cranberries. And then we add in… MAYO on steroids! Oh.  My,  Gosh. Pardon the hyperbole but duuuuuuuude. Sir Kensington’s products were on sale at Nugget a few weeks ago (2 for $5 which is… Read more >

The market is thriving

I am obsessed. First of all, how fun is it to get packages of FOOD!?! So.  Fun. Second, how fun is it to stay indoors when it’s hot and you have two young ones.  If only I could skip the grocery store entirely… So I basically love Thrive Market now.  I highly recommend you all join.  It’s amazing what you can get AND at the crazy wholesale price!  Plus, they blow up my inbox daily with free stuff…I’ve already gotten a FREE jar of coconut oil (used that in four seconds flat) and now a… Read more >

And thanks to the… Read more >

Half of the time I make us stuff…usually cookies or brownies for him and chocolate bark or cups for me. The other half of the time we buy (massive amounts of) chocolate bars…Kyle and I can dominate a TJs pound plus bar (the dark chocolate with almonds is our fave) in 3-4 nights.  So… Read more >

The weekly menu

This week’s menu starts off with some of last week because I got home from Tahoe to an empty fridge and decided to do the grocery shopping for the remaining (two) days of that week and this one all in one swoop. Inspired by my latest library haul (cookbooks), I made several Gwyneth recipes. [In terms of reviews, I LOVED “It’s All Good” so much I ended up buying it for myself on Amazon Prime Day (for a stellar discount).  I’ve made a handful of the recipes already and I have decided to challenge myself to cook… Read more >
