Just a Wednesday

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog). Breakfast…   Oats, puffed millet, white chia seeds and sunflower seed butter on top. You want me to back up with that?   1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups boiling water + 1/4 cup puffed millet + 1 tbsp chia seeds   Once I let them sit a bit, the water got soaked up and the chia seeds gelled, so… Read more >

Eggs & Avo

For reals, this duo is like the new A-list couple.  Except instead of being featured all over E! it’s my camera’s memory card that’s reached capacity.  Brangelina can suck it, this pair has beauty and brains.  Well, not really, but whatever.    For the past week, I’ve been eating avocado and eggs in every form I can imagine.  This sandwich was one I created a few weeks ago and it just keeps coming back.  That’s how you know when a recipe is a real winner.   hard boiled eggs honey mustard dijon mustard butternut squash… Read more >

Progress

Hey look!  An office! Now my crap is actually semi-organized. Kyle was getting really tired of seeing FODMAPs research articles and GI studies piled up all over our old apartment, so he gifted me some file cabinets in the “office” of our new place.  Such a romantic, that one. As you can see, the casa is coming along quite nicely. Our extra bedroom is big enough to double as an office and workout room.  And guest bedroom, of course. While unpacking we found a box of electronics that would make Steve Jobs roll over in… Read more >

Welcome to the new place

I don’t have many photos yet because this is the first time I’ve turned on my computer since February, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek of our new apartment home.   Ok, maybe you can’t tell much of anything from the picture of Kyle unpacking the kitchen… The days leading up to the move were chaotic; and it was a (planned) blessing that I worked the day the movers actually came.  It was really weird leaving to go to the hospital from one apartment…and then coming home to a brand new place. … Read more >

Day 6: Parrilla time

I’ll race through the morning food because I already posted about our day trip to Colonia.   Breakfast: coffee and cookies. Lunch was really more of a second breakfast since it was well before noon.  Bread.   Salmon salad.   Spinach ravioli.   After returning to Buenos Aires, we grabbed some snacks at a natural foods market.   And then I bought 70 dollars worth of chocolate. No seriously. Go big or go home right?  Authentic alfajores are a once in a lifetime thing.   For dinner we went to a highly recommended parrilla, Juana… Read more >
