Trying different things

I ate something different for breakfast every day this week!  That’s so unlike me! Monday: two fried eggs + aged goat milk cheddar + avocado Tuesday: open faced GF toast + aged goat milk cheddar + avocado   Wednesday: banana baked oatmeal + peanut butter + protein powder   Thursday: oatmeal + almond milk + raisins + peanut butter Friday: Udi’s GF bagel + peanut butter + fried egg   Kinda been tweaking my morning routine to try and get more protein in on the days when I eat oats and toast.  Adding protein powder… Read more >

Me and P

Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog.    I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off.  And that’s that.  Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners:   I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again.     This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish.  Boom.  Party in my mouth.   That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches.  Even… 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 >

Now that’s a lot of food

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 >

Double party weekend

Every once in a while there are certain weekends which seem to have everything happening.  All on the same day.  You know those weekends, right?  Where you have plans to do one thing and then you find out there’s four weddings, a baby shower, a football game, a marathon, the Art & Wine Festival, and all the other things going on…this past weekend was one of those.  So is October 12th.  Why is everything happening on Oct 12th? Anyway, I switched my Saturday shift to allow me to attend two birthday parties.  The first was… Read more >
