Baby (food) post coming ‘atcha. If you have no interest, just close the browser. Here are a few new tricks and trials I have to share… -I’ve discovered a way to make apples (and hard/unripe pears) the perfect consistency for P to eat without the work of cooking them. I just chop the fruit and freeze it (raw). Once it’s been frozen for at least a day, I thaw it and voila! It’s soft and semi-mushy and I can feed it to him straight away. I have frozen fruit for two months and it still… Read more >

Does granola necessarily mean oats? Or grains? I read that buckwheat is a fruit the other day. Hmmmm…I know it’s not related to wheat and I know it’s not a grass…eh, whatever [too lazy to google]. Ok so I made these bars and I’m not really sure if they count as granola or not, but if you feel like the ingredients list suits you, then go ahead and give them a shot. And then send me a new recipe name suggestion. 🙂 The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

Monday Monday Monday. In nursing, there isn’t really the same stigma for the various days of the week because every day is (potentially) a work day. Fridays don’t mean the next two days are off. Wednesdays aren’t a half way mark. And Mondays aren’t the first day back after a break. So why do Mondays still have that baggage for me? Probably because spending the weekends with both my boys are so awesome. And I hate that it has to end. I also usually do grocery shopping on Mondays and I truly have come to… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

I’m really obsessed with millet bread right now, which is a shame since it costs $6 a loaf. The best way to enjoy it is with avocado smashed on top. You really don’t need anything else, but if you’re feeling extra sassy, you can jazz it up with a squeeze of lime juice, dash of salt and paprika. As far as I’m concerned mille-cado is the next PB&J. It’s a heavenly snack. For the people following the low FODMAPS plan, avocado does have trace amounts (it’s in the polyols category with stone fruits), but sources differ… Read more >
