P is for pitaya

We’ve developed a little obsession over here in the hippie household. At least, pacman and I have. Pitaya is all the rage. Just ask my taste buds. And my son’s. P’s pitaya smoothie [vegan, soy free, nut free, dairy free, seed free] Ingredients: 3/4 cup coconut milk 1 pitaya plus packet 2-3 kale leaves 1/2 banana 1 tsp agave / maple syrup / honey (optional) Directions: Blend until smooth. Slurp. My guy loves smoothies, but this was devoured in seconds. Like, instantly vanished. Clearly he enjoyed the pitaya flavor because I’ve used similar combos with… Read more >

Gimbal’s candy is allergy free and delicious

Ok, this may seem odd given the way most of you know me (through the blog, not in real life) which means you only know what I’ve shared since 2007 or whenever I started this thing. Buuuuuuut…I used to eat candy as a meal. The bulk bin stuff, sweet and sour and sugar coated…the more neon the better and that’s the truth. Sometimes I’d have candy for both lunch and dinner.

Father’s Day weekend

How precious are these moments. We went to the Windsor hot air balloon festival this weekend and opted to stay at the vineyard on Saturday night so we’d be close for the 5 am start time.

The weekly menu

Grill master here! Woot woot! Since Kyle was out of town last weekend I was left to my own devices for dinner, so when Pattycakes requested BBQ chicken I thought “sure! it’s high time I try to grill on my own!” And so grill I did. P kept me company in the baby pool while I did my thing. I used this rub again because if it aint broke, right? Chile lime chicken is where it’s at, yo! I sent Kyle and my dad pics because I was so proud. It was perfect! The middle… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. I’d heard great things about this sauce (from what I understand, it’s fame grew from a farmer’s market in SD) so when I saw it in Whole Foods I thought, how cool, now it’s sold in stores!? I should try it! So I did. Um, holy spicy hot hot heat! This is just way too… Read more >
