Summer activities

Look at this lunch made by a 3 and 5 year old! It took them two days to polish the whole thing off, but they made it and ate it all to themselves for back to back lunches. I’ve been setting three goals for myself each week to do with the kids.  Nothing major – just activities, crafts, and whatnot – but I have found that having ideas at the ready makes me actually follow through and DO stuff that requires more effort rather than just take them to a park.  Not that there’s anything… Read more >

TJs cauliflower gnocchi

You guys, this cauli gnocchi is legit. I wasn’t sure what to expect because they are a frozen grain free pasta product.  There are like 4 things in that sentence that shouldn’t work together.  Also, TJ’s cauli pizza crusts were only meh.  And they have similar ingreds.  BUT!!  BUT BUT BUT. This is majorly better than the pizza crust and I went gaga over it. Per the instructions, I cooked it from frozen in a sauté pan.  It got a little gummy and stuck to the pan but in the end, the texture of the… Read more >

Weekend balancing

Anyway, the bike… Read more >

Salad and cheese news

We had such a full weekend in the best way!  It seemed like there was hardly a spare moment, but it was with really mellow stuff so it didn’t feel overwhelming or chaotic.  Of course I didn’t get to any housework, which is kinda hard for me, but for some reason I didn’t even stress about it.  I’ll tackle it eventually…summer has me laid back for some reason.  Maybe the absence of school (and thus set time schedule) has me feeling like there’s a lack of urgency in our schedule?  We still have activities with… Read more >

Summer dinners

I went back to my beloved Winter vegan salad!  I just couldn’t stay away, ha! I had bulk roasted butternut squash and cauliflower for the kids and then stole some for my salad too because I had all the rest of the ingreds… When the cards fall into place like that…you can’t ignore the signs!  So I just HAD to make it.  And guess what – it was as good as ever.  Obvs. And now for a few more dinners from the week. Salmon + brown rice + asparagus with an almond butter miso sauce…. Read more >
