May 25, 2015 May 28th is my mom’s birthday and I am pretty excited to go to celebrate with her. She’s turning 60 and that’s a big one. It seems like after 30 you only celebrate the round decades so waiting a whole ten years for the next “big” birthday is an awfully long time to wait… My parents were just in Europe for a long trip. Just the two of them. They had a blast and it makes me happy to see them so happy. I have good role models – for parenting and… Read more >
I actually have some recipes that I created in this post! Imagine that! But in truth, I did get most inspiration from books and blogs, as I tend to these days. I already shared our (meatless) Monday dinner here. We only had a small serving of leftovers – not enough to make a full meal – so I had it as part of a lunch later that week, bulked up with hemp seeds, avocado, and more greens.

Kyle was out of town Thursday through Monday and since I wasn’t cooking for our whole family, I found it harder to meal plan. It’s weird. I never understood the “cooking for one” dilemma previously, but it’s definitely easier to turn to less stellar options when you are only feeding yourself. I can’t really figure out why I think this is the case. Maybe because it’s annoying and hard to make one serving of something? Is it though? What did I used to do? Go to the WF hot bar? Probably. I mean I could still make… Read more >
