This week went by bleepin’ FAST. [Side note: I have to get my swearing in check now that P understands everything I’m saying!! Words are now real things with meaning. Talk about a reality check.] Last weekend was a snooze with that lame Super Bowl, although I did grab brunch at Cafe Bernardo with a former co-worker. I brought P (with his eggs and such in a tupperware) and he was the perfect gentleman – minimal puffs and banana bits made their way to the floor (although I always clean that stuff up at… Read more >

This is the rainbow lunch mish mash that I heaped on my plate Saturday. On the bottom is a cauliflower “pizza crust” which is topped with cabbage slaw with home-made mayo + lemon caper dressing, avocado, and nutritional yeast. Ugly as it looks, it was one of the best things I ate all weekend. But then there was this dinner. It took no time at all and was pretty awesome. Sriracha Quinoa Sushi Bowl Ingredients: 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa 2 avocados, diced 1 mango, diced 16 oz crab meat 3 tbsp mayonnaise… Read more >

My lunches fall into 2 categories: repetitive/boring or the previous night’s dinner (occasionally re-vamped). Here are some of my latest. Plus a few other quickie recipe reviews that I figured I may as well pass on since they were successful and yummy. Moroccan salad with cilantro orange dressing by pinch of yum. I subbed quinoa for the farro, but otherwise made the recipe exactly as written. It was a big time winner. I loved the bright tangy orange notes and the sweet dates combined with the pistachios. Glad our neighbors have an orange tree because… Read more >

I spent last weekend at my parents’ house because Kyle is out of town and I figured it would be more fun to have company while watching the 49ers game (sad outcome). Think he likes the pets?? If his first word isn’t ball, it will probably be dog. It’s hard to say which he’s more obsessed with. This is the only meal I photographed over the weekend. I could eat roasted vegetables for every meal always. P doesn’t like Brussels sprouts, but I’m not too bummed because it means more for me. He… Read more >

Hello sunshine! First things first, I went on a run with my bundled up babe. Ok, not first things first. I nursed him before anything else. Anyway, it wasn’t that cold out but I still made him super cozy. As a treat, I hit up Starbucks mid-jog. Took it home in my travel mug so it was still hot post-shower. Aside from the decaf joe, we had the same thing for breakfast. Scrambled eggs with a pumpkin coconut flour muffin. And blueberries. Always blueberries for the little man. After we played around, I put him… Read more >
