zucchini – Hungry Hungry Hippie

A day of food

We ran out of eggs before the end of the week but I refuse to ruin the budget by going to the store. I gave P the last two, scrambled with spinach, just like he likes them. Luckily I had one hard boiled egg left for me. I layered the slices atop avocado toast. We both had blueberries on the side. P had an entire zucchini muffin (cut into small bite sized pieces) with his eggs and blueberries. I used the same recipe as I did here only I bumped up the coconut aminos to… Read more >

My highlights: week 3

I spent last weekend at my parents’ house because Kyle is out of town and I figured it would be more fun to have company while watching the 49ers game (sad outcome). Think he likes the pets?? If his first word isn’t ball, it will probably be dog. It’s hard to say which he’s more obsessed with. This is the only meal I photographed over the weekend. I could eat roasted vegetables for every meal always. P doesn’t like Brussels sprouts, but I’m not too bummed because it means more for me. He… Read more >

Lunches Lately

I stopped taking pics of my lunches a while back because they were soooo repetitive (avo and egg salad with some kind of carb).

There’s something therapeutic about de-seeding them. Especially when your kiddo is napping in his crib for the first time in days. [I love chest naps but they make it… Read more >

I used to do this every day

Holy crap I actually took pictures of everything I ate in a 24 hour period! I can’t believe I used to do this every single day… Starting with breakfast. I slept in til 9 but if I didn’t have a child I would have hidden under the sheets until at least noon. I was still recovering from night shift shenanigans and pacman wasn’t pleased. Given that, both of our appetites were out of control. I fed him first of course, but then got right to work on my own grub. I wanted pancakes, but… Read more >

Storing summer bounty

Tomatoes, chard, kale, basil, parsley, zucchini, squash, eggplant, corn, peaches, plums, berries, melon, I could go on and on… Our kitchen counter used to have a fruit basket that was adequate. But now that we’re in farm country it’s spilled out onto the counter and beyond! I love it! And for the record, we have a really big kitchen counter! [Yikes, that’s messy] What to do with all this wonderful cheap produce! Uh, freeze it? Yep, that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it. First up, pesto! I used TONSSSSS of… Read more >
