tortilla wrap

Father’s Day weekend

Another fun one.  Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette.  It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings.  No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly.  And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much.  Clearly.  But that means easy lunch leftovers.  Before is above, after is below.  Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again.  I’m a… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions.   1. Tazo vanilla rooibos parfait (from Starbucks) Because I like my tea really (almond) milky, I’m always on the lookout for new decaf varieties that aren’t fruity and don’t have mint or chamomile in them (the two herbal flavors I am not a fan of).  It’s surprisingly hard to find.  And lately fennel is… Read more >

Egg and tofu wrap

At first I thought I just wanted a simple breakfast wrap. Spinach, fried egg, Rudi’s GF tortilla. But it looked a little sad (despite the absolutely perfect fried egg), so I took a fridge survey, and decided to make a mustard tofu salad too. It had 1/4 block of extra firm tofu, dijon mustard, honey mustard, plain almond milk, and lemon juice. It was a little bit runny, but I wasn’t too bothered by it.  Just meant more juicy goodness to wipe up with (extra) carbs afterwards. I could hardly stand it’s perfection.  I had… Read more >

On the go breakfasts

His and hers differ minimally on the weekends, but on week days I make him portable savory fare.  He often eats in the car on the way to work.  His faves include mini breakfast quiches and grits.  And when I’m lazy, I’ll give him an Amy’s breakfast burrito.  Unfortunately, Amy’s burritos have gotten to be too expensive for our new budget.  Convenient, yes.  Pricey, yes yes.  So we said adios to the luxury of prepared frozen health food and hello to the home-made alternative. Tofu scramble + whole wheat tortilla + cheese = Kyle’s new… Read more >

What can I say?

This weekend was just plain awesome.  I don’t know what else to say.  My sister came to visit.  My friends threw me a baby shower.  And I just felt so loved.  And fortunate.  Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived!  Hooray 🙂   While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read.   I had a snack a little later.  Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >
