One zucchini recipe

And just like that, zucchini game is ON. My mini man likes zucchini just like his mama, so I thought it would be awesome to grow some in the garden…but for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW my plant has produced nothing but males.  What. The. Heck.  !?!? So I bought some at farmer’s market. And made muffins.  Mini ones to be exact.  And they don’t call for any sweetener at all so they are perfect for little ones with un-warped palates.  Or adults who want to give their sweet tooth a break.  They are still… Read more >

Fourth Festivities Weekend

I’m just going to say from the get go, summer is awesome.  And even though it’s taken me a while to recap our 4th of July, I figured better late than never because these memories are so worth capturing in print. Kyle had Friday off so we invited friends over for breakfast.  I made a plum clafoutis based on this recipe, but I accidentally changed it rather significantly when I dumped an entire can of coconut milk (as opposed to the 1 cup of dairy liquid called for) in the batter.  I tried to compensate by adding… Read more >

The weekly menu

It’s kinda silly categorizing this post “the weekly menu” considering the week was only, like, a second long and I already blogged about the first half of it, but it is what it is. To recap, Monday we did melon, avo, and butter lettuce salad with poppyseed dressing.  Legit. Tuesday we had crock pot stuffed bell peppers. They were based off this recipe but then I made them completely different to meet all of our families allergy requirements and preferences. Wednesday we skipped market (again) and cooked in.  The weather was forecasting 108 again but it was only mid… Read more >

Slow cooker stuffed bell peppers

Whatcha gonna do with a bunch of bell peppers and tomatoes? Stuff em.  With each other. Set and forget is all you want on a 108 degree day anyway.  I prepped this while feeding little man breakfast.  He ate the tops of the bell peppers (diced) and then tried to swoop on a tomato in the process. Slow cooker beef and tomato stuffed bell peppers [gluten free, soy free, peanut/tree nut free, dairy free, sesame free] Ingredients: 5-6 bell peppers 1 lb ground meat (I used beef) 3 tomatoes, diced 1 green onion, sliced 1 cup… Read more >

Fake three day weekend

Sweet baby child this Saturday’s breakfast was nooooo joke. How much did I spill on her head? Only one bite actually but it happened to be the very center piece with the most ooey gooey sticky sugar section.  I still ate it of course.  And then cleaned her head with a wipe (not my tongue). Since Pattycakes now has gymnastics classes on Saturday mornings it’s easy to just walk across the street after and hit up market for breakfast.  And entertainment in the form of music and parks…while Kyle and I treat ourselves to yummy… Read more >
