I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >

I don’t think the idea of paring pumpkin and peanut would have occurred to me before seeing this recipe of Katie’s. But it sounded like an interesting combo, and I only had a bit of pumpkin left, sooo…yeah…I made a pumpkin peanut butter stew and the rest is history. Pumpkin Peanut Butter Stew with Spinach & Tempeh [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 1/2 cup pumpkin (either use canned pumpkin or mash/puree a baked squash) 1/2 cup plain almond milk 3 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp maple syrup (omit with using sweetened PB) 1 tsp… Read more >

Hi lashes! Here’s another insanely simple thing for people on the go. I made it back for Kyle when I had mastitis and wasn’t in the mood to cook.

Soooo, I’m on a roll with the creamy vitamix recipes. Cashews > Dairy Guess who’s not a big a fan of the vitamix? Poor little guy gets freaked when the motor starts going. 🙁 He’s fine when I hold him next to the blender, but unless he’s in his mommy’s protective hold, he cries at the scary noise. Anyway, let’s get to the recipe because it was rich and thick and made Kyle do his omg-I-love-this-so-much-I’m-going-to-do-dirty-things-to-my-spoon face. I definitely licked the pot before cleaning it (after licking both my bowl and the ladle). The recipe… Read more >

I’m officially a foodie now. I own a vitamix. Birthday present from Kyle. He knows me so well. So this may sound weird but I was kinda scared to use it. And for a solid week it sat untouched because I was too intimidated. I didn’t want to initiate it into my kitchen arsenal with a lame recipe or anything so-so. It had to be epic. Why? Who knows. It’s all in my head. In the end, I chose a cheesy pumpkin sauce. Because blending nuts to creamy dreamy bliss (in seconds!!) was too fun… Read more >
