pancakes

Australia: Zoo fun

The weekend arrived and we were finally able to go out with all four of us again.  Saturday started with a nice brunch at Cafe Indigo.  It is clearly THE spot in Double Bay.   Kyle got the blueberry pancakes (above) and I got my sister’s fave, the breakfast bruscetta (below). My sister got a new (to her) order, which looks very similar to the salmon benedict but has avocado instead of hollandaise.   P fell asleep in the stroller at lunch so I cut out a bit early to go back home and put… Read more >

My highlights: week 4

  Pretty much my breakfast all week.    Except for this one.  With nomnompaleo’s cinnamon banana coconut pancakes.  Thanks for the suggestion Ttrockwood.  🙂   Hipster babe. Brussels before and after.  I used this recipe and it’s my new favorite way to eat ze sprouts.  For the record, I’m not a picky one with the cruciferous category (I love all my greens in sickness and in health), but Kyle is and he loved them too…so if that’s any indication of the yum factor, there you go. omgomgomgomgomg [fingers crossed] You all know about that whole… Read more >

Our first weekend back in LA

It’s so weird that we haven’t been back to LA since we left back in April.  We’ve seen several of our so cal friends since but not all of them so we decided to pop in for a quick visit. Honestly, we’ve been trying to squeeze a weekend in since this past fall, but then all this (good) stuff was happening with Kyle’s business…and then the holidays came along…and you know how it goes… But we finally got this in the calendar and what a fun time it was! Now.  As much as I adore… Read more >

A weekend of Lafayette leaves

I’m so behind in posting!!  Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad.  He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time.  More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep.  Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3.  🙂 Love the… Read more >

A real cake and banana baked oatmeal

  Buying bananas at Costco is hard to pass up (so cheap!) but they all go ripe at the same time.  All 150 of them.  So one second you have a bunch of green fruit and then you blink and find yourself with a million pounds of brown spotted bananas to use up.  Stat.  I’ve been adding them to everything.  And freezing them for smoothies.  I have 2 loaves of banana bread in my freezer.  I have pumpkin banana bread in the fridge.  I have made gluten free banana pancakes for myself twice.   These… Read more >
