Be Mine

Love.  I’m not a big Valentine’s person.  Never have been.  Cupid.  Hearts.  Chocolate.  Whatever.  But that’s neither here nor there. The important thing is that the Reginald’s Homemade giveaway winner is #109 Katie @ Peace Love & Oats who tweeted about the nut butters 🙂 Congrats girl!  Send me your address and I’ll be sure your four pack of nut butters get on their way. *Sorry for the early announcement, I’m heading to the hospital*

The weekender

That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday.  Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica.  I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times.     My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns.  Holy breakfast right?

A day in the life…

Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night.  Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup.  Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again.   Make breakfast #1.  A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas.  I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does).  Play on the computer.  Respond to emails and blog comments.  Make & prep food… Read more >

Kale & Tomato Strata

I’ve perfected the strata.  It was good before, but now it’s awesome. Kyle will tell you the same (unless it means he’ll have to share with you, in which case he may lie in order to save more for himself). Kale & Tomato Strata Ingredients: ~6 oz (approximately 1/3 of a 1 lb loaf) sourdough, cubed 3 kale leaves, de-stemmed and ripped into bite sized pieces 1/3 cup diced tomatoes 2 cups plain 2% greek yogurt 3 eggs 1/2 cup water 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp dried parsley 1/4 tsp… Read more >
