I have SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!!! This week is all building up to a massive fundraiser for V’s nursery school and since I’m on the board I seem to be living at the church this week. No matter! I’m going to set aside some time to blog because I have some things I feel like I must share. I have created a new favorite Fall salad, but I’m not blogging about that yet. First off, this weekend. We went to a live show (podcast) with the kids 🙂 I know I’ve talked about… Read more >
I thought this was going to be the last tomato harvest but I was wrong… A few days after picking all of these I went to rip out the plant… I TOLD YOU it is taking over the yard! It’s a monster!

And made two more jars of creamy vegan vodka sauce to freeze. It’s all stuff I… Read more >
Foodie girls night! The only way I can go out these days is with my girlfriends because we don’t have a babysitter. Ugh.

We went out a few times over the span of a few months… Read more >
Let’s get this pesto party started! First up, butternut noodles with arugula, baked salmon, pesto, and manchego. About the manchego… I am still enjoying the cheeses from the Costco sampler I got. It has proved to be a very economical purchase. And to think I hemmed and hawed about it for AN ETERNITY before Kyle grabbed it from me and threw it in the cart. I’m going to go all out of order with meals in the interest of continuing to showcase some things I’ve done with the cheese. For two of my lunches this… Read more >
While both kids were in school I had some time to myself so I went grocery shopping and prepped a bunch of stuff for the week. Above are some peanut butter oat and coconut flour balls, which I froze before bagging them up to keep in the freezer for easy grabbing. They turned out okay, but I think they needed more oats. Next time! For now they are good enough. Lunches come together quickly when everything is already chopped and ready to go. Same goes for mine too 🙂 I only added two chicken tenders… Read more >
