corn nuts

I repeat, no work this weekend

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule).  So exciting!!   Saturday morning.  Frothy mocha flavored milk.  Home-made bread.  Toasted to oblivion.  Buttered up the yin yang.  Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening.  They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive).  Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch.  Breakfast grain mix.  Seitan.  Carrots.  Nutritional yeast. Snack.  Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus.  Carrots…. Read more >

Fridge foraging

It’s getting to the point where making my meals are almost Top Chef challenges.  The fridge is nearly bare, save for some lingering leftovers and oddities that have been hiding in the back for quite some time.

sabadomingo

I worked this weekend which was whatever.  I don’t feel like talking about it.  I do feel like sharing my packed up eats though.    I made a pumpkin raisin chia pudding the day before, so I added some of it to my overnight oats, along with a banana.  Here’s the mix all stirred up together…   Soaking raisins plumps them up to such a delightful state! Here’s the rest of the goodies…carrots, corn nuts, granola bar, banana bread, candied ginger, salty dark chocolate. I have been storing these dried fruit and nut granola bars… Read more >

Week notes

I was going to try to do a WIAW post, but I just couldn’t get it together in time.  Or photograph everything.  Here’s some of my “what I ate wednesday week” in bullet points. Monday Coffee.  Duh. My GF loaf is going fast and I still never even showed it’s birth.    Sunbeam and Bob’s Red Mill make bread making pretty effortless.     Unfortunately due to the garbanzo bean flour, my GI system was not very pleased with the final product.  Tasty?  Yes.  Bloating?  Very.  It took a bit of trial and error with other… Read more >
