Here are some updates on how it’s going feeding a toddler with allergies (since I know several mamas like these posts) and he seems to be thriving. I snuck beans into my child’s diet and they weren’t even baked or blended into something making them unrecognizable. Nope. I simply changed the texture by roasting them and voila! The kid eats beans. For now. 😛 (there are a few ways to roast them but I did 450 degrees F x 25 minutes just tossed in a little olive oil) Like I mentioned in a previous… Read more >

Just some random photos from the week that made me happy. I brought this Tiger Salad to a BBQ on Saturday (only I nixed the sesame for allergen purposes). I love my mandolin for slicing cukes! It’s so fast and fun to take down a whole vegetable in seconds. Mama snuggles. In a clockwise fashion: massive salad with hemp seeds and all the veggies; cake farewell; banana bread; 105 degree weather treats. Buying massive amounts of bananas at Costco certainly has it’s perks. Chard from the garden, stays fresh in my vejibag. Top dog. Getting in… Read more >

This week we made two big steps for Patty-cakes’ plant based eating and I am very excited. I made a batch of roasted chickpeas – which the little dude ate singlehandedly over the course of the week. I also got up the nerve to try sunflower seeds (I’d tried an oral sunflower oil challenge previously and no reaction, likewise I tried superficially testing him by placing a dab of sun butter on his wrist and no reaction), which have become an easy favorite. He loves the seeds a ton and is neutral on the beans, but will… Read more >

I have a week of food coming your way. And I’m pretty proud of myself because despite Kyle being out of town I did a decent job of still making myself quality meals…as opposed to just half-assing it and rummaging through the fridge after putting P down. Once again, they’re all out of order. When I’m planning the week ahead, I have a vague idea of when I’ll do certain meals based on their hands-on time and my schedule, but I like the option to switch it mid-week if I don’t feel like a certain dish that day… Read more >

Thanks to the 4th this felt like a really short week. I love when weekends are almost as long as the week. Kyle was gone for work last week and he left again today so I cherish the weekend time mucho mucho. How adorable are these two. It’s like my baby turned into a toddler overnight. I know every parent on the planet says that, but still! He’s a blur on film. My family came for the 4th of July and we went to Crepeville for lunch. It gave us a great view of the… Read more >
