My highlights: week 2

Hey hey!  It was a good week around these parts.  I got some time to hang with girlfriends, I took P to the library and the zoo, and I even fit in several workouts.  Happy dance.  🙂 Here are some photos I took throughout. Beet, carrots, apple, ginger juice + an article from my dad about the range of GI/immune responses to oats.  Gluten is one tricky beast. Hilarious pose.  This kid kills me. Do you have a textual relationship with your sushi provider?  Guilty! I looked over and…this.  Standing is now his fave.  Ok,… 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 >

Lake Tahoe weekend

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe!  And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride.   Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax.  🙂   Ok, first unpack, then relax.  Food much?  You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month.  But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family).   Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?!  SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

My everyday life

This is a small snack.  The “before” photo is so clean.  Let me tell you, persimmons make one hell of an “after” photo.  Like a blood bath!   Naps are complicated.  When they happen, I’m on cloud 9.   Lunch in peace and quiet.  That’s nearly a whole bag of TJ’s lacinato kale by the way.  Tossed with quinoa and coated in creamy broccoli soup. We put up our tree and hung our stockings.  P loves all of it.  He says “de” and points to all the things.  He wants to communicate so badly. I… Read more >

What I Ate Thursday [Thanksgiving]

There was a lot of food in the house on Thursday.  And the Wednesday before.  Actually, the Tuesday before too!  We set off for my parents’ house after I got my hair cut (finally!!!) on Tuesday evening, so by the time we got there P’s bed time had come and gone and he was not thrilled in the least.  Fussy pants was quickly soothed by the heaps of attention he received once more relatives arrived.  Family! The house was jam packed with people, so the 3 of us shared a room which meant sneaking in… Read more >
