Two big reasons for getting myself in gear this past weekend: 1. Kyle is out of town for a couple days and 2. I need to get my eating back on track [Tip of the iceberg] I’ve been eating good quality whole foods for the most part, but I have been eating a TON of candy at night. Like a ton. And it makes me feel gross. I want to stop it. So that means I have to set myself up for success by making other options. I have to eat yummy food to make sure I… Read more >
This week was the week that needed very little planning because so many of our friends brought us food. So clutch. Backing up to Saturday. It was Picnic Day here in Davis which is a big deal. The whole campus has events all day long. And since it’s an aggie school, there were obviously tons of animals. We spent much of the afternoon enjoying time with friends and livestock.

I will do a roundup of protein/green powders soon… Read more >
Apparently I started writing this post a while ago? Ha! Pregnancy brain and blog hiatus made for a very buried draft… **** Here’ s a bit more random info about pregnancy numero dos… These were recommended to me during the first trimester and I thought they were awesome. I bought them on amazon.com because I couldn’t find them anywhere in stores. Keep in mind this was way back last summer when fruity stuff sounded perfect. I was all about the citrus in those first few weeks. Lots of lemonade and sour stuff. Just like with patty-cakes I craved fried… Read more >
This is the recipe for the delicious treats my friend made me…which are basically chunks of heaven. Not too sweet but pretty decadent, and yet I didn’t feel gross afterwards. Chocolate Coconut Bombs [vegan, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, optional nut free] Ingredients: 1 cup coconut oil 1 cup nut/seed butter of choice (she used chunky natural almond – chunky is definitely good for textural oomph in my opinion, sub sunbutter for nut free option) 1/2 c honey 1c cocoa (she used a mix of baking cocoa and special dark) salt and vanilla to taste… Read more >
