The daily unpictured

When you have pears about to turn into mush…you let them turn into mush in some steel cut oats. With cardamom and vanilla and coconut milk. It was a pretty dreamy breakfast. Lunch was Thai themed with the last bit of my Nugget sesame dressing, leftover roasted root veggies, kale and leaf lettuce, salty almonds, avo and cilantro. Then I added a bunch of kettle Korean BBQ chips for extra crunch which was the best topping ever. The kids saw me eating them and asked for some too, so I gave them some thinking they… Read more >

Annual return to Fremont

We went to Fremont on Friday afternoon, leaving straight from school, so I packed us all lunches and then relied on leftovers for dinner. Thanks to the fun traffic we got home JUST before the kids died of starvation. Dramaaaaa. Here’s a little dessert action. I wasn’t that hungry, but I was exhausted from driving and for some reason decided I needed chocolate to make me feel better. Emotional eating at it’s finest. The appointment went great by the way (it’s his one year from peanut OIT graduation so they wanted to check in with… Read more >

My favorite lentil salad

This is one of my very favorite salads and I know I often show photos of it on the blog, but somehow I’ve never shared the recipe. It’s from ATK’s The Complete Vegetarian cookbook, which is always my go-to when I’m feeling uninspired and craving plant based meals. They have a few different lentil dishes, but this variation with hazelnuts and chevre is my number one. I often serve it with a few other veggies sides – roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts seem to be my most frequent Winter pairing and then in Summer… Read more >

Orange and green

Kicked off yet another Monday on the right foot…with a pile of produce. I can barely keep up but it’s not exactly something I’m complaining about. I juiced a crap ton of it right away that night, but the juice was extra extra green (if you know what I mean) so I went to pick some tangerines from the yard to sweeten it up a bit. Much bettah! This random lunch salad had kale massaged with balsamic vinaigrette, topped in avo and candied walnuts with carrots and smoked goat cheddar on the side. We made… Read more >

No retainer, no nuts

Sometimes after a week off of blogging I look at my photos and I am SO confused. I never had any breakfast photos (there’s too much going on in the morning!) and there always seem to be far more pictures of chocolate plates than there are days of the week. I swear I ate more than this, but here are the only photos I have from an entire day! I have no idea… I mentioned it before, but on Sunday I had a day date with my girly. I let her pick out whatever she… Read more >
