Mashed potato latke leftovers

I’m not Jewish so I’m not promising this will be anything close to authentic, but it uses potatoes and resembles a pancake, so hey!  Latkes!   Truth be told they tasted a lot like tortilla espanola.   Okay now here’s the thing.  This is not a real recipe because I didn’t measure anything.  But I wanted to share the rough amounts and ingredients because it seems like it’d be forgiving if you wanted to try to replicate what I am showing you.  And it was tasty!   Does anyone even still have leftover mashed potatoes? … Read more >

Ruts and reining it in

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain.  Wah wah.   Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary.  I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found.  I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it.  Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault.  So I… Read more >

Turns out I eat a lot.  🙂 Ha.  As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted).  Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES!  Of course!  I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

Nacho fun

I’ve been on a Mexican kick.  Namely a nachos kick. I know I said I was going to show all my eats, day by day, but the highlight of this day was this guy, so why bother with the other stuff.   It’s nacho time!!! What makes up the nachos? tortilla chips (plus the remainder of the riceworks chips) black beans daiya shredded mozzarella tomatoes Sabra pico de gallo avocado Green Valley organic lactose free sour cream      There’s really no rules on the process, just pile things on more things and keep piling… Read more >

Mex for all

  You’d think after a week of breakfast burritos Kyle wouldn’t be stoked for Mexican night, but you’d be wrong.  [The above is a burrito I made for him with Boca veggie chik’n burgers, salsa, & cheddar]   For both of us, I made this huge thing of brown rice, pinto beans, and salsa because it allows for flexible meal creation. brown rice –> 2 cups in the rice maker pinto beans –> 1 cup in the rice maker salsa –> 1/2 cup of Sabra’s mango peach salsa (!!!) Super easy.   For vegan options:… Read more >
