Pistachio Pesto Shrimp

I have another recipe for you guys! I’ve been on fire in the kitchen lately.  Thankfully, I mean that metaphorically. Today we have for you a zoodle adventure! I spiralized 4 small zucchinis and soaked them in hot water for the whole afternoon and by the time I went to serve them they were perfectly soft, but neither mushy nor raw. The water was boiling when I poured it on them, and room temp by the time we were eating dinner, so I could easily drain the water off just using my hands to hold… Read more >

Butternut cheeze lasagna

Well, I officially perfected the cashew butternut cheeze lasagna I was working on.  And by perfected, I mean IT IS PERFECT. It’s my new favorite dinner and it was pretty simple as far as lasagnas go.  And IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! Kyle and I were basically oohing and aahing after every bite.  And P (who dislikes cashews) ate every last scrap without any idea that it was not a cream based sauce. It has ground beef, so that’s already going to hook the kids.  And then the fresh pasta noodles!?!  Makes my life so easy!… Read more >

Odds and ends salad for lunch… kale (from the garden) home-made balsamic vinaigrette roasted salmon avo candied pecans cherries It’s CHERRY season people!!

So then I sent the kids out with Kyle later that morning and they came back with this! WHOAAAAAA. Cherry heaven <3  The kids are FINALLY old enough to get the pits out by themselves.  THANK GOODNESS.  It’s made my life so much easier and my finger nails… Read more >

Can’t quit you kru

Is this not the most gorg sashimi presentation? Kyle and I went out for a date night (baby sitters are still received with mixed reviews by the kids).  I swear, every time you get through a tough phase with one kid, the next kid senses the peace and enters a new – dare I say MORE DIFFICULT phase.  Initially Valley was the limiting factor in getting baby sitters…then Mr. P went through an extremely tough phase that made us want to pull all our hair out…and now he’s back to his former self and she… Read more >

Trader Joe’s carrot ginger dressing

I’ve been eyeing the no longer new but semi recently released vegan dressings from TJs for a while now and finally decided to give this one a go. First thought: wow there’s a lot of shallot going on there. Second thought: good job TJs for making a dressing without sugar. Now, what to put with these interesting flavors?  Bacon wrapped dates! And kale! That kale is from our garden.  It’s going bonkers with the greens right now.  I have so much rainbow chard I don’t know what to do with it.  I have a ton… Read more >
