I didn’t really know what to think when I agreed to review these pants… They are so NOT me.  At all.  But they looked mega comfy and I knew my sister would want them if I didn’t like them.  She’ll still probably “borrow” them quite a bit, but I have to say, I’m kinda in love with their comfort.  I mean helloooo they have a stretchy waistband.  Awesome. They are slightly see-through but with leggings or workout stuff underneath they’re perfect. And did I mention comfortable? They are from One Tribe Apparel and they are… Read more >

So, Kyle’s been out of town for the week and my eats have been simple and repetitive. Let’s start with lunches.  I don’t know why.  Maybe because I photographed them the most. Sautéed kale, butternut squash, avo, coconut flakes, and Bragg’s aminos.

Spinach, (more) kabocha, chicken and… Read more >

I was feeling (uncharacteristically) crafty last week and decided to channel that energy into something baked. It’s always difficult when the mood strikes at night because then it’s kinda a gamble to see what I have on hand…but I made it work.

I made these for a pre-trick or treating get together so naturally I… Read more >

I feel like I need more vegetables in my life.   This past week was just SO dang packed with candy and sugar and (leftover birthday) treats.  Oof. Here are the dinners I made. Taco salad.  Again.  Can’t get over how simple the salsa + chicken in the crockpot is.  And it makes perfectly shredded flavorful chicken that pulls apart in seconds.  At least there was lettuce.  Chips were plentiful as well. I used this recipe for chicken shiitake and wild rice soup as inspiration but went a little in my own direction to streamline… Read more >

I don’t accept many samples.  I never did, but I do even fewer now that I blog so infrequently.  But FODMAPs research is near and dear to my heart, so I felt compelled to test out this bar by the lovely Jesse and Kate Watson. They contacted me a while ago – in the early-ish stages of their company and I was more than happy to help in any way I could, namely spreading the word about their growing business.  Having a husband who survived one start up (out of two), I have a soft spot for… Read more >
