Not to be overly dramatic, but last weekend my life changed. It changed in a way that hasn’t happened since early 2017… back when the Davis Whole Foods closed. Amazon to the rescue! Ever since they acquired WF I have been waiting for the day that they would deliver to our town. And now they do! And I can literally order a week’s worth of my groceries FROM MY FAVE STORE – IN THE COMFORT OF MY HOME – and they will be on my doorstep in whatever two hour time range I select. What… Read more >

It was just me and the kids this week, so meals weren’t quite as organized as usual…in that I didn’t have much of a meal plan aside from P’s birthday meal. Beyond that, it was a lot of leftovers. After the persimmon bread was gone, I had real phat foods bread for a few breakfasts. This bread is so good with butter on top. Usually I prefer Earth Balance, but I’m currently in a Miyoko’s creamery butter phase. The kids are also into parfaits right now. This is lovely development because it is a super… Read more >

What in the world is happening with time. It’s 2020 and I have a seven year old son. This is crazy talk. I woke up at 5:45 to register them both for spring swim lessons.

We parked at farmer’s market and walked the few blocks onto campus to head to the games area in the Memorial Union. It was hilarious to see them… Read more >

I’ve got another “what I ate” style post for you guys, starting off with the same persimmon walnut bread I showed last time. I forgot to mention that I used honey in place of brown rice syrup this time around and it turned out fine.

But of course it is still absolute perfection in my eyes. And the… Read more >
