After Kyle woke up I went for a short jog around the ‘hood and then we headed downtown for fro-yo.

Check out the squash from my coworkers’ garden!  I also scored some medjool dates and oranges from her.  The cherry tomatoes are from my own garden.

I love this recipe and since I have squash aplenty it’ll probably keep on happening. 🙂

Dessert.  Theo dark chocolate with almonds and sea salt.  <— the best Theo bar of all.

Breakfast.  Banana bread + fried eggs.  Decaf, decaf, decaf.

This was a delayed meal since I stayed a bit after swim lessons.  I was haaangry by the time I got home so I inhaled it (hence the missing bite in the photo).

Lunch.  Summer squash frittata, veggie chips, cherry tomatoes from my garden.  [P.S. I ate way-ay-ay more chips than pictured]

After Kyle woke up we went for a family walk.

Snack.  Ghirardell’s dark chocolate.  Kyle had a business meeting in SF a few weeks ago and brought back a bag of sampler chocolates for me, which I’ve been slowly savoring.  Sea salt soiree is my absolute favorite, so naturally it was the first one I finished off.  I’d never heard of the intense dark cabernet matinee before, but it was lovely.  Like a chocolate grape combo.  Mmmm.

After we showered we went to the farmer’s market to meet up with some friends.  I bought a bag of kettlepop and we did the produce portion of our grocery shopping.  After hanging out for a short while longer, we headed to the co-op to finish off the grocery shopping.

Dinner.  Tempeh sando on The Essential Baking Co GF bread with Daiya provolone, chard from the garden, dijon mustard, avocado & Nasoya whipped nayonaise.  Whew!  What a loaded ‘wich!

I’ll share a more detailed post about the way I prepared the tempeh later.

Dessert.  Maqui Berry Mojito Kombucha + the rest of my kettlepop from the market.

I’m so so so into this Kombucha flavor.  I have no clue what possessed me to try it since I hate mint, but I was at the store and it sounded so refreshing I just went with it.  Who knows what’s up with my bizarro taste buds?!  First the goat cheese, then the banana chips, and now this?!  Whatever.  I’m just rolling with it.  Food-gasms abound.

And not that you asked…but I did take pics…

Here’s a few of the things I’ve been making for Kyle since he’s doing night shifts as well.

Dinner on the road.  Couscous with Sabra hummus, parmesan, green beans, and TJ’s 21 seasoning.

Breakfast.  Leftover couscous with Sabra roasted garlic salsa and cherry tomatoes from the garden.

Dinner on the road.  Annie’s mac n cheese shells with green beans.

Plus some help from my sous chef.  🙂

Breakfast.  Nachos with the works.  Chips, pinto beans (made in the rice cooker), Sabra salsa, cheddar cheese, and Sabra spicy guacamole.

IMG_4089

This plate was no joke.

Snack.  Home-made baked “fries”.

I can’t wait til this weekend when we will both be home together on normal schedules and not working night shifts.  Eating the same meal in the same place at the same time!?!  Novel concept.

    Nachos for breakfast? Now you are speaking my language! 😉

  6. Elly

    Are you eating real cheese these days?

  7. Courtney

    STOP the presses–does your neighbor have a date tree?!?! If that is for real, I am totally moving in. I will live in your cherry tree. Cherries and dates? Sounds like a perfectly balanced diet to me…
    I am SOOOOOO jealous!!

    Courtney

    co-worker, not neighbor…sorry…

  9. Elise (Post author)

  10. Elise (Post author)

    no. i have been eating goat products occasionally lately, but there wasnt any in these meals…sooo…yeah, no.

  11. Elise (Post author)

    well, to be fair, it was noon when he ate it, but yeah, hes definitely a savory for breakfast person. ;P

  12. Elise (Post author)

    thanks so much dani!

    kinda hard to say since the chocolate may have been a problem for me too – i was gassy but nothing terrible.

  14. Elise (Post author)

    its from the bulk bins at the co-op so im not sure. i love lundberg farms brown rice couscous though if youre looking for a rec.

  15. Aimee

    I love lundberg farms too! The couscous you made above just looks extra light and fluffy so I was just wondering kind it was 🙂

  16. Courtney

    I think if your friend/co-worker had a date tree, I would seriously move out there and live in her back yard and become her new bff 🙂 I’ll settle for your cherry tree, though 😉

    Hey hippie!
    My goodness am I SO glad to have stumbled upon your blog! I’m also an IBS sufferer, and was recently put on the low fodmap diet, which has literally saved me! I’m still new, so well my recipes kinda suck. I’m like “how can I make things delicious without onions and garlic?”. Anyway glad to see this blog and cant wait to try your recipes. Just wondering, how are you able to eat dates and celery and beets? I haven’t started introducing new foods yet. Also is the Maqui berry allowed on the low fodmap diet? I bought chocolate recently with it in it and have felt rather ill since…wondering if you have any idea as I cant find much on the web!

    Thanks!! ANd again thanks for writing this blog! 🙂
