What I did Wednesday

Hello sunshine! First things first, I went on a run with my bundled up babe.  Ok, not first things first.  I nursed him before anything else.  Anyway, it wasn’t that cold out but I still made him super cozy.  As a treat, I hit up Starbucks mid-jog.  Took it home in my travel mug so it was still hot post-shower. Aside from the decaf joe, we had the same thing for breakfast.  Scrambled eggs with a pumpkin coconut flour muffin.  And blueberries.  Always blueberries for the little man. After we played around, I put him… Read more >

Week ‘o eats

The whole shebang of last week in one post.  Here goes. Breakfast on Monday was the last of this savory bread and fried eggs.   Breakfast on Tuesday was out – I had a savory crepe with hash browns at Crepeville. Because Crepeville’s portions are awesomely massive I had leftovers for breakfast on Wednesday.  Which I paired with two fried eggs. Thursday I made steel cut oats in the rice cooker (the crock pot was already occupied) for our whole family.  I topped mine with a bunch of non-nut things (aka seeds galore) – including… Read more >

Our first weekend back in LA

It’s so weird that we haven’t been back to LA since we left back in April.  We’ve seen several of our so cal friends since but not all of them so we decided to pop in for a quick visit. Honestly, we’ve been trying to squeeze a weekend in since this past fall, but then all this (good) stuff was happening with Kyle’s business…and then the holidays came along…and you know how it goes… But we finally got this in the calendar and what a fun time it was! Now.  As much as I adore… Read more >

Before 2014 started

I did a pretty good job of meal planning that last week of the year. First we finished off all the holiday leftovers we brought back from my parents’ house, including stuffing, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, and lima bean casserole.   One day, I jazzed it up and made a cheesy “gravy” sauce with nooch and water.    And another day, I paired it with a salmon burger for some protein.  Kyle took care of the rest of it.   There was also extra shrimp and veggies from my parents’ holiday party so I pulled… Read more >

Weekend with Santa

Swim lessons always wear P out so I timed the 50 minute drive to my parents’ house accordingly.  We left straight from the pool in Davis and patty-cakes slept the ENTIRE drive (!!!).  He hates car rides nowadays so this was huge.  I even took advantage of the drive thru Starbucks in Dixon.  🙂 After hanging out with my mom for a bit I made some lunch with leftovers in their fridge. My sister came over later and then I picked Kyle up from the Lafayette BART station and we got things going for dinner…. Read more >
