Wednesday was a clean out the fridge day. Starting with the extra (vegan GF pumpkin walnut) muffin I got at Temple on Sunday am. It got the cashew butter treatment, naturally. I had just ridden my bike back from dropping P off at school and V announced she was still hungry (after a full pancake breakfast!). So I gave her some cucumbers to munch on while I ate my muffin.  I was really trying to avoid sharing my breakfast with her and she seemed happy to stick to her own fare, so that was a… Read more >

I always fall off the blog wagon around Tuesday and then spend the weekend catching up.  The weekdays fly by with our regular travel to Fremont.  It’s like we finally get settled back at home and BAM it’s Thursday and time to head back down. This was the last week of school for P.  We had pancakes almost al week because I made a ton, so they had them with peaches and strawberries on this day. The strawberries were from the garden and they polished them off right away, so I added more peaches to… Read more >

We woke up Sunday morning still kid free!  After working out together (bike rides!) we contemplated our breakfast situation. Kyle really wanted to encourage me to treat myself and kinda coerced me into Temple.  He was shocked when he found out I’d never been.  It’s THE ULTIMATE for coffee people.  My dad would go gaga in this place.  Look at all the pour over stations!

And ate pretzels while he snuggled on my lap to pass the time.  After we left, we quickly ran to WF, where I was planning to get something, but P was anxious to get home, so I scrapped my plan and just went back to my parents’ house.  I… Read more >

Finally feeling back to normal!  And with the help of daily kombucha, my gut may not be as wonky and off as it would be post illness otherwise. I made heaps of pancakes for breakfast because I needed extra for P to bring to school the next day. For my own breakfast, I made a smoothie with bananas, berries, chia seeds, walnuts, almond milk, and collagen after biking P to school.  I can’t help but think the collagen is doing good things for my gut too. Mmmmm.  Open gym with V after that.  Still no… Read more >
