I was just going to skip this past week’s meals because I got so behind but some are worth sharing (because I think you guys should know about these for your own menu planning) but also, I may actually post a recipe.  Gasp!!  I know, I know, I made something from my own kitchen that wasn’t directly from a cookbook/blog that actually requires written out instructions!  It was monumental for another reason too.  It was the first recipe that I made that ALL FOUR OF US ate.  The same exact dinner!  Can you believe it???  I’m so thrilled… Read more >

What.  A.  Week. My little peach is having a rough one and it’s so hard to watch her be so miserable.  She’s normally such a happy baby, but ever since her 6 month shots she’s been fairly inconsolable.  If she’s not nursing, she’s not happy, which makes life with a toddler interesting.  I’ll spare details because I could vent forever, but I really only want to share the week’s eats, not the drama.  Just figured a little background might be necessary to explain why the dinner scene was not very elaborate.

I have been noshing on these tofu slabs with such delight I hardly want to share with P. But of course I do  🙂 We had the same thing for lunch yesterday – tofu, avocado, rice cakes (“popcorn” to him), with carrots, butternut squash and kale on the side.  He had bell peppers too. The savory broiled tofu in Gwyneth’s book is awesome.  I used garlic infused olive oil instead of sesame oil and minced garlic, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. It’s definitely one I’ll be remaking on a regular basis as part of my weekly… Read more >

Lots of weeks seem to have passed without me sharing food recipes or menu planning or anything.  I have been busy busy.  But isn’t it annoying when people say that?  Who ISN’T busy?  Kyle’s been gone…and then we ditched town for the weekend…and then we came back home…and ditched town again.  Home with only one adult for random days makes economical meal planning difficult, which is why most of my dinners look the exact same as my lunches.  Kale salads. Copycat-ing the Costco bagged salad I heart so much! Kale + cabbage + pumpkin seeds +… Read more >

This week’s menu starts off with some of last week because I got home from Tahoe to an empty fridge and decided to do the grocery shopping for the remaining (two) days of that week and this one all in one swoop. Inspired by my latest library haul (cookbooks), I made several Gwyneth recipes. [In terms of reviews, I LOVED “It’s All Good” so much I ended up buying it for myself on Amazon Prime Day (for a stellar discount).  I’ve made a handful of the recipes already and I have decided to challenge myself to cook… Read more >
