My highlights: weeks 11 & 12

We finally have internet (FOURTH Comcast visit since moving…sooo…third time is not the charm).  Meaning this post is semi-current!  [Depeding on how long it takes me to write and publish] Where to begin!  It has certainly been a crazy April.  But I have to back up to the end of March first.  When we said goodbye to our (rental) house and moved 2 minutes south. We moved here when P was a mere 3 months old and now look at him!  Almost walking and ready to take the world by storm. I was in a… Read more >

Bacon!

Where to begin, where to begin… How about here. ImadebaconoutofcoconutandIdon’tevenknowhowittastesthisgood soI’mkindafreakingoutoverit. Yes bacon.  Out of coconut.  It’s insane.  I don’t even get it but I’m going to stop trying to analyze how this magic occurred and just enjoy it. You should too.  Seriously.  I would NOT be this dramatic if it was mediocre. Coconut “Bacon” [vegan, gluten free, FODMAPs friendly] Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes 1 tbsp tamari 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp sesame oil 1/2 tsp liquid smoke pinch of sea salt Directions: Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix all… Read more >

Little food secrets

Here’s a dirty little secret.  I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster.  What can I say…I’m special.  Or I lack patience.  Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely.  My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >

Mother’s Day weekend

What an amazing weekend.  Not just because I got showered with love.  With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats.  Man, it’s been a while since I made these!  I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter.  Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

Progress pics & the week in food

May already!  The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second.  Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend.  Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house.  Ugh!  Moving takes forever.  Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday).  So we… Read more >
