The weekly menu

Another post with our dinner meal planning.  Kinda.  These weeks have been weird with some nights away (visit to my parents’ house) and family staying with us and a few nights of me eating solo (Kyle doing business stuffs), which makes for a difficult game plan.  I totally relied on scrounging up leftover scraps to create not that innovative meals, but it was also in an attempt to be slightly more frugal after some splurging for birthday shenanigans.  These are the meals I’ve managed to capture over the past week (and a half?). This salmon dish was from… Read more >

Allergy friendly baby/toddler products

First things first – a heads up.  How products are packaged can change!  We used to buy these dried cranberries and evidently the co-packing and/or facility from where they are sourced is no longer the same!  READ LABELS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU BUY A PRODUCT!! Second, since sharing this link (about a new study that tested the efficacy of a probiotic in the treatment of peanut allergies), I have spoke with my son’s pediatrician and started us both on this probiotic.  I find research like this so interesting and promising and even if it doesn’t change anything… Read more >

I got the sunny side in a lettuce wrap.  I was saving room for dessert (chocolate back at my parents’ house).  My… Read more >

Party weekend

The birthday posts continue!  Even though he officially turned two last week, we held a small birthday party at a local park this holiday weekend. Our big two year old! That was on Monday…so first lemme back up…Kyle’s parents arrived in town on Saturday and we went to watch Kyle play ultimate frisbee as a big group. We hit up WF for groceries after…Happy Valentines’s dinner to us. I went the totally easy route with quinoa, rotisserie chicken and Caesar salad.  Not much hands on time, so I could be with family as much as possible…. Read more >
