This post is laaaaaate…ok, so I’m just going to do both the past two weeks in one post because I am so behind. I have good excuses – my little man was sick all last week and then he got better and then had an allergic reaction (during a dairy trial) and then all of a sudden it was his birthday! So I now have a two year old. Crazy stuff. How about some food peppered with my random thoughts? Holy crap this was a long time ago. We went to our friends’ house for a… Read more >
What a weird but awesome weekend we had. Weird in that the weather was semi schizophrenic, Saturday was crazy warm and then Sunday was nothing but a torrential downpour. Fortunately I managed to give Kyle a hair cut on Saturday (we do them outside for easier cleanup) but his half marathon was on Sunday in the MOST miserable conditions ever. P and I went to cheer him on and had a hard time tracking him because his waterlogged phone broke and he couldn’t communicate at all. We saw him around mile 9 and then again at… Read more >
I randomly decided I wanted to try plantains a few weeks ago and so I tracked one down (not hard actually…they’re at WFs) and then it sat in the fruit basket for over a week.

Thanks to the “paleo world” there are plenty of plantain breads and recipes and such… Read more >
Remember back when I used to share daily meal log style posts with recaps of my entire day? Man that seems so long ago. It was a lot of work but I loved it. I do miss it from time to time, but clearly life things happen. Change and growth and all that jazz are to be expected, which, as it turns out, is reflected in my writing (both in style and approach). I share my dinners and occasionally my breakfasts (thrilling as they are), but I sometimes forget about the middle of the day eats. And that’s… Read more >
Sorry for the late post…do you guys like seeing these family meal plans? They’re my favorite posts that other people do because they give me good dinner ideas, so hopefully others feels the same. I always bookmark the recipes I like as I browse blogs/websites throughout the week and then on Friday or Saturday go through them with Kyle and plan out next week’s eats. I factor in weekly grocery sales and what he is craving, so I often don’t get around to all my saved recipes but that’s why pinterest exists, right? I admit, I was… Read more >
