Five to nine weekend

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend.    Because we had a birthday party for my dad!!  He’s 59 years young!  I’ll get to the party details later.   I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway.  Food schmood right?  P disagrees.  He’s digging the solids.  We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

Whole Foods Fumi Salad

Remember when I wrote an ode to Whole Foods (and basically showed you how to blow your bank account while unemployed for the summer)? Yeah, well, that post featured one of my all time favorite salads from WF.  The fumi tofu salad.  It’s really just an Asian cabbage slaw, I suppose.  With ramen noodles. We had lots of cabbage so why not?  I didn’t feel like making tofu, so ours was a protein-less version, but adding tofu (or tempeh) would be the proper way to honor the WF gods.    Chilled noodle salads are the… Read more >

The banana bread you all want

I totally don’t blame you.  I’ve had it for breakfast every single morning for the past two weeks. Every. Single. Morning. I’ve re-made it THREE times since. It’s so gooooood. Gluten Free Banana Bread [vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, FODMAPs friendly, makes 1 mini loaf] Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour 1/2 c NuNaturals stevia baking blend 1/4 cup whole rolled oats (certified… Read more >

The best of Costco

Oh my gosh you guys, I went to Costco yesterday and literally squealed in the aisles due to all the new (totally awesome) things I found. Even though we mostly stuck to our list, there were a few things I couldn’t help but get.  The rest were added to my mental shopping list for next time though. Here are the highlights: Vicolo roasted tomato with goat cheese & fresh basil. I’ve made pizzas with their plain crusts several times, but never tried the already prepared ones.  Costco is selling this two pack for cheap and… Read more >

Weekly Recap

This week was fun.  Busy and not busy in perfect amounts.  One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts.  It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done.  And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself.  It’s lovely.  Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts   Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >
