Mary’s Gone Crackers

Chard from our neighbor

HOW!?! Seriously, how do SAHM / bloggers do it? I’m only 3 days into Kyle’s 10 days out of town and pretty sure I’m going to turn into an almond by day 5 at the rate I’m pounding through this Costco tub of roasted nuts.  And I haven’t written a single new post aside from this one I’m working on now.  Which may or may not go live before Kyle returns. Suffice it to say, I’m not exactly excelling in either the cooking or the blogging area.  Hopefully I’m doing better in the mom department,… Read more >

House-warming & Memorial weekend

This past (long) weekend was important for family time because Kyle headed back out of town for business on Tuesday morning (after being away the previous week).  Gotta soak it up for the few days he’s around!  I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but since his start-up is young and fragile, it’s important to take advantage of these opportunities so the company will continue to thrive.  Growing pains are good.  As I type this he is en route to Colorado…10 hours into the 18.5 hour drive.  Ouch. So anyway.  Saturday. He slept… Read more >

A FODMAPs friendly “what I ate” day

Breakfast Udi’s mighty bagel with organic peanut butter and a fried egg.  I had the second half of the bagel a couple hours later.  Also with PB PB. I’m seriously obsessed with these bagels.  They are so hearty and full of seeds and whole grains, you’d never know they are wheat and gluten free.  Definitely the best GF baked good I’ve tried so far.  What sets it apart though, is the fact that it actually tastes like a bagel.  Not eggy bread.  Not nutrient devoid buns.  Not cardboard crap.  Real ingredients!  I can SEE the… Read more >

Outside eating weekend

We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it.  Lots of outdoor time!   Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing.  Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar.   I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >

Progress pics & the week in food

May already!  The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second.  Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend.  Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house.  Ugh!  Moving takes forever.  Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday).  So we… Read more >
