Pretty much my breakfast all week.
Except for this one. With nomnompaleo’s cinnamon banana coconut pancakes. Thanks for the suggestion Ttrockwood. 🙂
Hipster babe.
Brussels before and after. I used this recipe and it’s my new favorite way to eat ze sprouts. For the record, I’m not a picky one with the cruciferous category (I love all my greens in sickness and in health), but Kyle is and he loved them too…so if that’s any indication of the yum factor, there you go.
omgomgomgomgomg [fingers crossed]
You all know about that whole cauliflower pizza crust thing, right? It’s a thing in case you didn’t know – google it. I made mini crusts, but they weren’t firm enough to hold up as a crust. Still yummy though. I used nooch instead of cheese so that’s probably where the issue stemmed from. I just smeared avocado all over the tops and called it a day. Good enough for me!
Toy of the week. Tongue out = focusing.
Dates from the dessert. Kyle brought these back from the UAE for me and it’s hard to practice restraint as I pick my dessert out each night. I’m actually shocked there are any left given my hideous track record with moderation (especially when it comes to dates!). They are SO good.
PS I have a reader in Dubai!! That’s so cool! Hi Lindsay!!
MOPS sisterhood.
Speaking of which. We had a recipe exchange this Monday’s MOPS meet-up and I came home with a few good ones. Unfortunately there were lots with allergens that I’ll have to get crafty with.
Rocking out.
Date night!! My sister came to Davis to babysit so Kyle and I could go on a double date. We met friends at Ella in Sacramento and had a fantastic time – fancy food, delicious drink, great company.
I recently watched this on Netflix and as a result became a huge huge fan of Chipotle. So I went and tried their food – for the first time – and yum! As the wife of an entrepreneur, it makes me happy to see good people with good ethics succeed in their business while upholding their values.
We live near one of the locations with the vegan sofritos. Hope they roll that out nationwide! The only bummer is that the guacamole is more $$$ even if you don’t do dairy. I feel like they should make an exception if you don’t want the (free) cheese or sour cream you should get (free or reduced price) avo in exchange. I still paid extra for it though. Obvs.
My handsome date.
And that’s the week!
Omg your hipster babe is so cute! Do those mustache slip-ons come in my size??!! So adorable.
I love Chipotle (and their food with integrity vision is awesome) but I definitely feel you on the guac issue. If I don’t want the cheese, or sour cream, then it should even out, right??
Here’s a pretty good recipe for chocolate chip cookies that are grain and nut free. You could sub the butter with earth balance for P, or try coconut oil. 🙂 My older son has multiple food allergies as well, so navigating it has become second nature.

A reader said they made the crust without the parm cheese and it worked. This recipe is awesome!

Made these as quesadillas for my boys, one with daiya, and they were great. Also tried it as a wrap with sunbutter and banana slices rolled up…amazing!!
the recipe is two posts ago
Oops, missed it! Thanks 🙂
no prob. enjoy!
Chipotle will give you free guac if you don’t get meat in your burrito or burrito bowl so I would guess that guac is more comparable in price to meat than cheese or sour cream, but who knows. Glad to know you have discovered the joys of fast, customizable food 🙂 Yum!
Love the long eyelashes on your handsome date. Great picture of Pacman.
I don’t think those dates would stand a chance around me! Yummm.
OMGOMGOMG! Elephant in the post!!! Are you guys buying a second home?!?! Exciting! I wish you luck:)
Tongue out, focusing. too cute! and those mustache shoes…he’s a babe already!!
You’ve never had Chipotle???? That blows my mind. It’s one of my absolute favorite places — and they’re from Colorado (like me)! They give you free guac if you only do the fajita veggies — and if you’re worried about not having enough protein, you can ask for extra beans and (brown) rice at the front end and they’ll give you extra scoops no problem. (same with salsa too, actually. I PACK my bowl to the very top when I go). The sofritos are good, but I think I prefer having free guac + veggies.
Glad you tried Chipotle!! You’ve been missing out! I agree with you about the guar though!! I never get the dairy either and ask every time if it can sub…never allowed 🙁
*waves* Hi!! Those dates are THE BEST.
Good luck with the house!
Adorable pics, what a great weekend. So exciting about the house, good luck!!!
Glad you liked the pancakes! I know everyone raves about chipotle, and yes the founder is an awesome man, but……. You live in california!! In the middle of amazing mexican everywhere, so, yeah.
That box of dates looks so wonderful- kyle gets a gold star for that one!
And i would also like to order mustache slip-ons for myself….
its true, I’ve always had good mexican food in my life…sooo…i don’t really know what the alternative is. But chipotle is a nice option for casual dining, and they have one in davis (it’s not that I avoided the chain in the past, I just never really sought it out given the plentiful mexican offerings available).
weren’t dates the perfect gift!?! he knows me so well 🙂
i know! i’ve never lived near one until recently. yummy stuff!!
