Fava what?

I’m about to admit something a little embarrassing… The first time I saw these? I didn’t know what they were and I gave the whole beans to my kids to eat. Raw. AND THEY ATE THEM! Without batting an eye. Pods and all!! So I didn’t think anything of it. A while later I finally got around to reading the weekly CSA email and realized they were fava beans and I was supposed to shell them!! OOPS! I’m pretty sure you CAN eat the pods, but I tried them myself later and they were not… Read more >

Sweet Miso Soy Saute

Here’s a quick and easy option for week nights. The kids love this and it couldn’t be faster to make! Do you have some kind of lettuce? Frozen edamame? Then you’re set. Sweet Miso Soy Saute Ingredients: 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp mellow white miso paste 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp water 1 tbsp tamari 3-4 cups greens, chopped (I used both chard and bok choy but spinach would be great) 1 cup edamame to garnish: sesame seeds, green onions, red pepper flakes Directions: In a large saute pan,… Read more >

Spring Summarized

If I had to summarize what I have been eating over the past few weeks (while I wasn’t blogging), the theme would be recipes from this cookbook. I am obsessed and have more or less been eating one thing or another from the book every single day.

I feel like I am making the apple cider vinaigrette and lemon miso dressing constantly. The Thai quinoa slaw has accompanied me… Read more >

A tale of two BBQ chicken salads

Hi! Remember me? I have a post titled “anxiety and being nice to myself” in my drafts right now, but the post is empty. So that’s a pretty good indication of how this past month has been going. But really, it’s going great. And sadly, that’s because this blog has taken a backseat to all the other awesome things going on…like teaching for fit4mom, and kiddo graduations, and becoming an auntie again, and, well, SO MANY things I couldn’t list them all. Needless to say, my attention has been scattered. But I’m here for now,… Read more >

Staycation weekend

It’s starting to feel like summahhhhhh! I don’t want to jinx it by writing it out, because we’ve had several rainy days recently, but we also finally broke into the triple digit temps, so I feel pretty pretty prettyyyyyy good that the weather is here to stay. Going to the splash park also makes it semi official, right? Even though both kids love school, we are all very seriously anticipating some unstructured time and all the playing and freedom that comes with it (myself included!). Remind me that I said this in a month. šŸ˜›… Read more >
