Baked Spaghetti

  Helloooooo lazy.   This is pretty much as good as it gets for a quick week day meal. Allow me to demonstrate.   Collect ingredients.  Layer.  Bake.  So easy.  And definitely delicious.    I made this both gluten free and lactose free so Kyle and I could share it.  It’s much easier that way. Isn’t it cool how the spaghetti is baked into the casserole?  And the noodles are all plump.  Considering how different GF noodles are than wheat noodles, I was happy this turned out as well as it did.  I actually think… Read more >

I am… [So many ways to end the phrase] (a) crazy – from being by myself with an infant for almost two weeks (b) tired – for the same reason (c) proud – for landing an awesome job (d) nervous – for accepting said job (e) excited – for a visitor this weekend (f) lonely – because I haven’t met many people in Davis (yet!)

Chard from our neighbor

HOW!?! Seriously, how do SAHM / bloggers do it? I’m only 3 days into Kyle’s 10 days out of town and pretty sure I’m going to turn into an almond by day 5 at the rate I’m pounding through this Costco tub of roasted nuts.  And I haven’t written a single new post aside from this one I’m working on now.  Which may or may not go live before Kyle returns. Suffice it to say, I’m not exactly excelling in either the cooking or the blogging area.  Hopefully I’m doing better in the mom department,… Read more >
