Wow, guys. Is January officially the longest month of all time? I feel like we must be half way to 2021 by now! Are you ready for summer break, too? There were leftover Costco chocolate muffins from a church thing and I took two home. Best. Decision. Ever. It’s moments like this that make me miss our membership. But then I remember the jam packed plastic section of the recycle bin following each trip and re-commit to keeping my waste down. Even if it means I lose the convenience of individually packaged lunch options. I… Read more >

I loooooved this meal the first time I made it, so it was high time I made it again. We are big walnut fans in this house (it’s mine and Pattycake’s favorite nut), so why not make taco “meat” from it? Have you seen the graphic showing the carbon footprint from the production of various foods? You can see it and read the article here, but spoiler alert: beef tops the chart in greenhouse gas emissions.

Berries, banana, beets! Boom! Brekkie on the go.

I am very glad to have uploaded all those old photos from my phone earlier this month because it meant I was able to share some flashback posts…but if you were curious about what you’ve been missing food-wise while I’ve been posting old content, you may as well forget about it. Germs took our house by storm and we had one of those weeks. If you have kids, you know what I’m talking about. It was r o u g h. Naturally Kyle was out of town for the entire week (isn’t that always how… Read more >

Every time our CSA gives us collards I make them into wraps. I love them. But when it comes to spring roll wrappers I’m not the best. My friends made fun of me for stuffing it too full like a burrito when we went out once last summer. FYI, Quan nem ninh hoa is a total hole in the wall gem that my friend told us about. It’s so far out in Sac that it may as well be another city, but it’s cheap and delicious Vietnamese food, so what else do you need to… Read more >
