Namaste waffles and candy cravings

We hosted some friends for brunch on Sunday and I decided to make waffles.  We also had berries and bacon to accompany the waffles, but the waffles were definitely the feature. I was kinda lazy so I went with a mix.  And since I thought there may be leftovers I went the GF route, so P could enjoy them, too. I’ve never tried any Namaste Foods products but Heather has given the green light on the pizza crust mix so I figured that probably meant the rest of the products would be decent as well.  Anyway,… Read more >

All about hemp milk

Obviously I didn’t invent hemp milk, so this post is not going to be super detailed on the tutorial end, however, I did do lots of research about hemp seed sources that I think could be helpful to have all in one place for others.  Since many companies that package/manufacture/sell hemp seeds also package/manufacture/sell nuts (and other allergens) I wanted to contact as many as I could to find out the details on their standards of co-packing.  There were a few who didn’t respond to my email, which I indicate below, but the rest were very… Read more >

My highlights: weeks 14 & 15

Bubblicious watermelon gum in smoothie form

I mean this in the healthiest way possible, but this smoothie tasted like this gum. I hope other people know about Bubblicious watermelon wave and I wasn’t the only one who spent my summers in the 90’s binging on this sugar loaded crap behind my mom’s back.  Hey, I saved up my hard earned (ha! riiiight!) money from refereeing kids soccer games and timing at swim meets for this stuff, so I don’t think spending it on sweet treats is the worst thing in the world.  Better than my sister’s squeeze pop addiction.  That stuff was straight up nast.  Sorry… Read more >

Flying with allergies [the post-post]

Sorry for the delay on this one.  I was going to ditch the post altogether, but people did ask questions so I wanted to try to offer something as a way of a response.  [Reminder: here’s the first installment where I waxed poetic about how little I knew and how ill prepared I felt] Now that the trip is over and we survived without the use of the epi pen, I’ll try to share more in the hopes that some of it may help someone. Things we did prior to traveling: 1. Tried as many… Read more >
