Home for the Holidays behind the scenes

I was going to call this sights unseen, but I took photos, so obviously it CAN be seen!

Here are a few things that didn’t quite deserve a spot in the two-a-day challenge, but were still worth sharing.

Snack of vegan and gluten free champs.

Balsamic Brussels (for the Christmas Eve caroling party).

My parents’ freezer (aka proof of where I get my OCD tendencies and caffeine addiction).  They’re Peet’s devotees, particularly for major dickason’s blend.

Crunchmaster multi-grain crackers.  My latest GF addiction.  They are light and salty and terrific.  They kinda remind me of Asian rice crackers due to the sesame.

My taco night creation (but multiply this plate times two).

IMG_8069

Granola and fruit.  Nothing fancy about that.

Waiting for Santa.

Must. Find. In LA.  ASAP.

Kona and Milo in identical poses.  Synchronized doggy naps.

Hideously lit CBQ burger and OCC’s vegan tofu option.

Here’s a better shot of the leftovers.  So good. 🙂

Mia (during a rare moment of not begging for food).  She’s like a dog.

Savory oats with avo, eggs, and nooch.  The only breakfast I ate at the house (we had brunch dates for five of the six days we were in Nor Cal!).  Sheesh!

Speaking of brunch dates…here’s a shot of Elaine and Cooper!  Love that little dude.  He and my little hippie babe are going to be best buds.

Grandpa’s holiday pants.  Classic.

    Sounds like you’ve had so much fun 🙂

    The savory oats with avocado and egg sound interesting. Do you make the oats with just water and then top of with avacado & eggs or do you add something else to the oats?

    Upon first glance, I thought that label said “decaf french fries.” Ha.

    I just have to give Gramps big props for the holiday pants. Those are completely and utterly awesome, and can only be rocked by a member of the Senior set 😉 Love it!!

    We devoured those Crunchmaster crackers on Christmas, too. They were almost as righteous as Gramps’ pants. 😉
