Parties all around this weekend! And lots of driving to get to them all! This was the only thing I took a picture of on Thursday. Clearly it was the highlight of my eating day (the highlight in the non-food realm was Peyton Manning scoring a million points for my fantasy team). Dove dark chocolate is crazy good. My mom gave us two bars as a part of a wedding anniversary present and I had been saving them…for what I don’t know. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did though. … Read more >

Another weekend filled with outings and travel and showing off our little man! Starting with a leisurely Friday. Since I finally polished off the last of the millionth loaf of banana bread I made, I decided to bake a new somethin’ somethin’. More on the above [oatmeal caramel creation] later… This is my new favorite meal. It’s been on repeat, so don’t be surprised if you keep on seeing it. That’s an egg/avo combo on toasted Essential Baking Co bread with a side of veggies (tomatoes from my garden). Look I finally… Read more >

My Tuesday and Wednesday. For your viewing pleasure. Breakfast. Banana bread + fried egg. Decaf, decaf, decaf. Lunch. Celery, carrots, zucchini egg muffins with fresh grind peanut butter. After Kyle woke up I went for a short jog around the ‘hood and then we headed downtown for fro-yo. Snack. Cultive mix of banana & white chocolate fro-yo topped with slivered almonds, shredded coconut, blueberries, and raspberries. Dinner. Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodle Fry. Check out the squash from my coworkers’ garden! I also scored some medjool dates and oranges from her. The cherry tomatoes are from… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >

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 >
