Weekly Recap

This week was fun.  Busy and not busy in perfect amounts.  One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts.  It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done.  And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself.  It’s lovely.  Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts   Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

The last weekend

Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc.  So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom.  It’s sad.  I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away.  But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role.  I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day.  I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >

Father’s Day weekend

Another fun one.  Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette.  It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings.  No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly.  And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much.  Clearly.  But that means easy lunch leftovers.  Before is above, after is below.  Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again.  I’m a… Read more >

Creamy cheater dressing with cashews

Do you have random jars of sauce/dressing in your pantry? It can’t be just me… I’ve legit had this bottle of Hilary’s chili-lime vinaigrette since back in my Thrive Market days. I stopped that subscription a couple of years ago though because it seemed like they kept discontinuing things I fell in love with and running out of inventory on staples that I needed to order. So anyway, this dressing was old, but I was in the mood for a chili lime cilantro kind of sauce for a salad. But I didn’t want a vinaigrette…. Read more >

Day 4: Bio

By day 4 of our vacation we had officially adopted the meal times.  Sleeping in late, relaxing on the balcony with coffee and basking in the sun until well after noon. Laziness suits me. b Blue is a cute little cafe in Palermo SoHo. Eventually we got the touristy part of the day under way and hit up the San Telmo Market.  You have to go on a Sunday. The streets were crowded with random vendors selling anything and everything.  And then there was an indoor market with more stuff.  It reminded me of La… Read more >
