Back into bread making

Saturday was basically entirely on the go. We drove to Roseville for a brunch play date with some friends and I brought a veggie and potato egg dish, which was basically tortilla española in a pyrex dish. I made it the night before and Kyle was eagerly anticipating the moment we could dig in the next day… Lucky for him, there were enough leftovers that he got it again the next day. Although he did have to share with his youngest 😛 Fork cheers! On Sunday I took some time to meal prep. P was… Read more >

So many veggies, so much time

There are so many greens in my life right now! I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner, but now the kids are helping eat up the CSA goodies in their lunches.

Citrus cooking class

I decided to add a little something sweet to our morning oats, just for kicks. I got coconut sugar from the bulk bins recently and it’s been a nice addition to my coffee.

Ever since my kimchi and avo burger at Cornerstone I’ve been craving kimchi big time. So for lunch I made a kimchi aioli by mixing kimchi in the blender and then adding some… Read more >

Swirly sweet bread for breakfast

Kyle took the kids to farmer’s market one time in December and I asked him to pick up a loaf of bread from the Upper Crust but then he got distracted and eyed a loaf of chocolate babka and has been dropping hints for me to make one ever since. Message. Received. I started with a sweet dough that I made up after reading a few different recipes. And then I added cookie butter and chocolate before rolling it up and baking it. The whole slicing and braiding thing was an exercise in talking my… Read more >

Babysitter club

Check out that before and after shot of mini muffins I made for the stroller strides kiddos on Friday! I added beets to make them a fun pink color for no real reason other than I had some on hand and figured why not? The parents were thrilled that they were made with no added sweeteners besides the fruit in the muffin. They had a banana, some home made nectarine chia jam, beets, water, sunflower oil, oats, and baking soda. That’s it! And I just blended them in the bullet and poured them into a… Read more >
