Annual return to Fremont

We went to Fremont on Friday afternoon, leaving straight from school, so I packed us all lunches and then relied on leftovers for dinner. Thanks to the fun traffic we got home JUST before the kids died of starvation. Dramaaaaa. Here’s a little dessert action. I wasn’t that hungry, but I was exhausted from driving and for some reason decided I needed chocolate to make me feel better. Emotional eating at it’s finest. The appointment went great by the way (it’s his one year from peanut OIT graduation so they wanted to check in with… Read more >

My favorite lentil salad

This is one of my very favorite salads and I know I often show photos of it on the blog, but somehow I’ve never shared the recipe. It’s from ATK’s The Complete Vegetarian cookbook, which is always my go-to when I’m feeling uninspired and craving plant based meals. They have a few different lentil dishes, but this variation with hazelnuts and chevre is my number one. I often serve it with a few other veggies sides – roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts seem to be my most frequent Winter pairing and then in Summer… Read more >

Orange and green

Kicked off yet another Monday on the right foot…with a pile of produce. I can barely keep up but it’s not exactly something I’m complaining about. I juiced a crap ton of it right away that night, but the juice was extra extra green (if you know what I mean) so I went to pick some tangerines from the yard to sweeten it up a bit. Much bettah! This random lunch salad had kale massaged with balsamic vinaigrette, topped in avo and candied walnuts with carrots and smoked goat cheddar on the side. We made… Read more >

No retainer, no nuts

Sometimes after a week off of blogging I look at my photos and I am SO confused. I never had any breakfast photos (there’s too much going on in the morning!) and there always seem to be far more pictures of chocolate plates than there are days of the week. I swear I ate more than this, but here are the only photos I have from an entire day! I have no idea… I mentioned it before, but on Sunday I had a day date with my girly. I let her pick out whatever she… Read more >

Back into bread making

Saturday was basically entirely on the go. We drove to Roseville for a brunch play date with some friends and I brought a veggie and potato egg dish, which was basically tortilla española in a pyrex dish. I made it the night before and Kyle was eagerly anticipating the moment we could dig in the next day… Lucky for him, there were enough leftovers that he got it again the next day. Although he did have to share with his youngest 😛 Fork cheers! On Sunday I took some time to meal prep. P was… Read more >
