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 >

Quiche is a weird word

I meant to make this with a crust, but when I opened this gluten free crust it was covered in mold.  Boo!   What the heck? I’m going to call this a fluke because I tried this crust before and loved it (minus the mold).  But this was definitely a bummer to open.  Since it was nap time I couldn’t do anything but go crust-less.  [Okay that’s a lie, I could have made my own crust, but I tried that and it didn’t work out.  Instead I wound up with pancake like biscuits.]    They… 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 >

Savory Quick Bread

I go back and forth in terms of breakfast cravings – sweet or savory.  I love quick breads (especially this banana bread), but when I want a savory breakfast I’m torn.  For some weird reason, the idea of making a savory quick bread never occurred to me. Why not?  There are veggie muffins and stratas and the likes, so why not a savory quick bread?!?  Duh, right?    I totally almost messed this guy up.  I forgot the egg the first time around (fortunately before it went into the oven, but not before I had… Read more >

Meeting the Redwood Hill farm and goats

Four score (and a really long time ago) I went to visit the Redwood Hill Farm dairy and creamery.  I’m obsessed with their goat’s milk and lactose free dairy products, and they were nice enough to reach out to me to see if I was interested in taking a tour of the place.  Ummm, yes please!!   They were so thoughtful, in every aspect…arranging for me to meet the owner Jennifer….giving P a stuffed animal goat…touring the dairy…meeting the goats…and sending me home with mega samples!  Not just of cheese either!  They grow TONS on… Read more >
