I hesitate to even use the word recipe in this post because these are more like ideas that you can take and use how you want. But that’s too long of a title. The first is creamy broccoli soup. teese mozzarella cheese is a solid cheese, so it needs liquid in order to combine with broccoli. Or a food processor. I steamed a bunch of broccoli, and then pulsed it in the food processor with the vegan cheese and plain almond milk until I had a decent texture. It was a little bland, so I… Read more >

As you can see, I like my iced tea reallly almond milky. How I make it is recipe-free, but I brew pitchers of tea at a time (no sweetener) using 4 tea bags for my 2 liter pitcher. I add boiling water to it, let it steep for a while then put it in the fridge to cool (but continue to steep) overnight. In the morning I remove the teabags. Then, each day I pour some over 3-4 ice cubes, and then add maple syrup and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Sometimes I can get the… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend. It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek. Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

[written on 7/31/12, at the beginning of the 13th week] Honestly, the reason I didn’t blog about being pregnant for the first trimester is because I’m extremely paranoid. You never know what can happen in those early weeks and being a nurse made me overly cautious (ignorance is bliss…I still had my maternity books…not good).

I had quite a bit of nausea and my energy level was… Read more >

Well, you guys have blown me away. The comments on this post literally brought tears to my eyes…I felt so much love. I want to say thank you to every single one of you who wished us congratulations (and I will get to it…). Obviously Kyle and I are beyond thrilled and it’s been sooo hard to keep this a secret (I’m shocked nobody was on to me earlier!). I will probably blog more about the earlier pregnancy stuff in time, but for now back to regular posting… *************** Since we were away this weekend… Read more >
