For all the recipes I find in cookbooks, magazines, and blogs, I don’t make very many! I’d say they serve as inspiration mostly. My taste preferences usually then guide me in tweaking things to make them how I want them. But in the past few months I’ve been drawing blanks in my kitchen (I crave nothing and because of this I cannot for the life of me create menus in advance). So basically I have been (a) remaking my faves over and over (and over) again; and (b) (finally) making things I’ve starred from these… Read more >

Buying bananas at Costco is hard to pass up (so cheap!) but they all go ripe at the same time. All 150 of them. So one second you have a bunch of green fruit and then you blink and find yourself with a million pounds of brown spotted bananas to use up. Stat. I’ve been adding them to everything. And freezing them for smoothies. I have 2 loaves of banana bread in my freezer. I have pumpkin banana bread in the fridge. I have made gluten free banana pancakes for myself twice. These… Read more >

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain. Wah wah. Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary. I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found. I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it. Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault. So I… Read more >

Turns out I eat a lot. 🙂 Ha. As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted). Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES! Of course! I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week. Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable. Remember? Oh, and because this happened. Yup. So let’s start at the beginning. I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast. Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg. While I ate, Kyle went to the MD. Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >
