We’ve hit a road block hiccup (fingers crossed?) in the sleeping schedule and I’m too tired to post much. My little man rung in his 4th month with some crankiness and of course it aligns with me going back to work so I have huge amounts of mommy guilt going on…in addition to the normal desperation of trying to figure out what’s wronggggggg? Isn’t it funny how parents ask their infants that knowing full well a response is out of the question. Anyway. He’s still an exceptionally happy baby so I’m sure it’s just… Read more >

No-Bake Coconut Balls [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 8 dates, pitted 3 tbsp brown rice syrup 1 tbsp water 1/8 tsp salt Directions: Pulse coconut and dates in a food processor. Add in syrup and salt and continue to pulse. Add water if needed (it will depend on the freshness of your dates). I needed 1 tbsp water for the dough to stick. Roll into balls.

Helloooooo lazy. This is pretty much as good as it gets for a quick week day meal. Allow me to demonstrate. Collect ingredients. Layer. Bake. So easy. And definitely delicious. I made this both gluten free and lactose free so Kyle and I could share it. It’s much easier that way. Isn’t it cool how the spaghetti is baked into the casserole? And the noodles are all plump. Considering how different GF noodles are than wheat noodles, I was happy this turned out as well as it did. I actually think… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >

My mom left a ridiculously over-ripe banana at my house (actually technically she left it in my car and then called me later to tell me she forgot about it and I may want to remove it before I had banana soup on the front seat), so I decided to bake with it. It wasn’t organic and even though I’m sure you can’t bake away pesticides, I’m going to pretend the heat did something to remove the nasties. It has a thick skin, so at least it’s not one of the dirty dozen (bananas… Read more >
