Yes, I have a friend who is also named Elise.  It’s very confusing for me since I’ve never shared a name with anyone, let alone someone I interact with frequently.  She has a little boy a few months younger than P so we hang on the regular. Anyway, we went to her house for a potluck/swim/world cup party on Monday.  Oh, and it was her b-day too!  I brought a corn and quinoa dish that I loosely based off this Bon Appetit recipe for Mexican Corn salad.  I made extra and added crab meat to it to… Read more >

Guess what? I have an addiction.  <– first step    These aren’t from the same batch. In other words, I didn’t make a bunch and freeze them for individual daily consumption. Nope. I made myself 1 waffle every. single. day. for breakfast this week. In case you forgot, I posted the recipe here. It couldn’t be easier.  And if making it for 8 solid days straight doesn’t prove that, I don’t know what will. Promise me you’ll try it??  The only ingredients are banana, egg, coconut flour, all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.  I… Read more >

Meal plan time! This past week’s dinners were kinda wonky because Kyle was out of town so I tried to use up much of what was in the fridge.  I really only put effort into Friday’s taco night since he got home for that one.

Salmon past with veggies.  I ended up eating this a few times for lunches and dinners.  I just bulked… Read more >

  This was a week of extremes.  Really high highs, but some pretty miserable lows.  The fact of the matter is, molars are the devil.  I feel so bad for my little pacman. Despite that, we had fun at our various mom and baby activities throughout the week.  I don’t have very many pics for some reason, probably because I was enjoying the moment.  Or chasing P around.  Either way it was good times. We went to the zoo.  We went to music class.  We had play dates.  We stalked the garbage trucks.  Standard things. After Thursday’s… Read more >

The mouse will play wake up at 530 am, boycott afternoon naps, and refuse to be more than two feet from me at any point in time.  Oh and throw dinner in my face.  Literally. This post took all week to write.  I started uploading some pics on Monday and next thing I know it’s Friday and I’m not much further along. Truthfully, I love when we snuggle so I cherished the time together, but it also hit 110* on Monday so there was a definite excess of stir crazy going on while we escaped the heat indoors.  His… Read more >
