Mickey magic

The kids had no idea where we were going for Spring break, until the morning that we left…when I presented them with Mickey Mouse pancakes and asked them where they thought we were going!? They both guessed DISNEYLAND right away! I was so impressed. How do they even know about Disneyland???? I mean, yes, we have been once before (two years ago), so it’s not like they’ve never heard of it, but still…it’s hardly on their radar. We have never discussed it, and they don’t have friends who have gone recently, so it must just… Read more >

Bringing the South to Sac

Having heaps of meat-y leftovers turned out to be the perfect way to compromise on dinner! Why did we have heaps of meat-y leftovers? We went out to South in Sac, which serves comfort food like you’d find in the heart of the South. And since we went with Kyle’s parents, it was being judged by people who know the cuisine (they lived in Georgia for several years and they have roots in Alabama). This lil buddy zonked out on the way there after a day jam packed with action. We celebrated an early Christmas… Read more >

Grandparents date night

What is going on here? I’m a little confused by the new wordpress update that’s happening right now…it’s making it hard to focus on what I’m actually typing.  Like when you can hear your own voice echoing in your phone and then suddenly you can’t talk because your delayed words are all you can focus on…sooo…this salad was a spin on my usual.  Only I did what I promised (#shelfcooking) and used the ginger miso dressing already in the fridge rather than buy the Nugget Thai one that I really wanted instead.  The miso one… Read more >

My Fully Belly Salad

I have SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!!! This week is all building up to a massive fundraiser for V’s nursery school and since I’m on the board I seem to be living at the church this week.  No matter! I’m going to set aside some time to blog because I have some things I feel like I must share. I have created a new favorite Fall salad, but I’m not blogging about that yet.  First off, this weekend.  We went to a live show (podcast) with the kids 🙂 I know I’ve talked about… Read more >

My two kinds of people

JK!  Not my Tesla! My friend was sooo freaked out driving us to dinner in her car that she’d only had for a few hours but we made it there and back and the car is still in perfect condition.  Mission accomplished. Dinner numero dos for our foodie crew (we need a name for ourselves!?!) was at Echo & Rig, a newly opened space in the Downtown Commons area of Sac.  Their original is in Vegas and this one is attached to the Sawyer Hotel right next to the new Golden 1 arena.  The Sawyer… Read more >
