Two ingredient pancakes

I got a few questions about the two ingredient pancakes I showed last week, so I thought I’d just answer them in one place.   I’m definitely not the creator of this “recipe” (if you can call it that?).  I don’t know where it originated exactly.  To be honest, knowing it was made of just bananas and eggs, I was skeptical that it would (a) turn out & (b) taste good. For the record, it definitely isn’t as good as a normal pancake, but the fact that it’s faster and easier to make than most… Read more >

All kinds of random (again)

My last random post was so fun, here’s another one.   I’m officially a cliché.  I bought these and ate the entire jar (minus two spears) in one night.  In truth, I’ve always loved pickles, but since Kyle’s got mega issues with all things dill/cucumber/pickle/zucchini I haven’t had one in the 8 years I’ve known him.  Crazy!  Pregnancy is definitely a great excuse to get your way in things like this.  I was nice and hid them from his sight in the fridge and then ate them when he was in the other room on… Read more >

Mis-schedule

I’ve been very uninspired lately.  In the kitchen, in my day-to-day routine, in lots of ways…I just feel like I’m tired and bored all the time.  It’s weird.  My days off are so lazy.  I read, I draw, I read some more.  But I miss my desire to be in the kitchen.  I don’t know where it’s gone.  Thinking of dinner ideas is hard for some reason.  And it’s never been like that before.  I ask Kyle to suggest things since I seem incapable of coming up with anything other than eggs and toast and… Read more >

Pregnancy Q&A #2

Continuing where I left off in the previous Q&A post… The most popular question I’ve gotten is regarding nutrition during pregnancy and dealing with opinionated family members. Is your family questioning you about your pregnancy nutrition? I’m asking because my husband and I are going to starting trying soon, and my Dad is already telling me that I “really need” to eat meat while pregnant…not sure how to handle that one! and My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I’m dealing with family/friends who think it’s okay to ask personal questions! I’ve… Read more >
