Part of the fun of being in the East Bay last weekend was going to WF.  I got to stock up on fun things like spiralized squash, which I’d never had the patience to tackle with my own appliance.  I can do zucchini, but when it comes to sweet potatoes and carrots and butternut squash, I think I’d rather just pay more to have it done for me. Which you can!  If you live near a fancy enough store.  Sadly, Nugget is not there yet…further reminding me of why Whole Foods still holds that special… Read more >

I was away from my kitchen this weekend so I had no time to prep.  So now I’m making it happen mid week…squeezing stuff in here and there between naps and after bedtimes and whatnot.

Cold or hot, I don’t even care, it’s… Read more >
