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 >

Quinoa shrimp fiesta bowl

Is it weird seeing seafood on HHH?  It’s weird to me. But for some reason it’s not weird eating it.  Probably because I’ve been dipping my toes back into the world of fish for a while now. This dish was fan-damn-tastic.  I’m tooting my own horn (even if it was Sandra Lee-esque in preparation).  I don’t have time.  You don’t have time.  None of us have any time.  This is as close to home cooking as it gets when you have a 3 month old. Let’s just jump right into the recipe. Quinoa Shrimp Fiesta… Read more >

Dos Coyotes

Guess what we had for dinner on Cinco de Mayo?   I know it’s totally cliché (but I don’t really care).  Kyle’s been talking Dos Coyotes up since we moved to Davis and I figured the 5th of May was as good a time as any to try it out.  Plus, Kyle had been out of town and was due to arrive home in the early evening that day.  So not only was the fridge close to empty in terms of fresh groceries, but his welcome home was also worth celebrating.  But really, who needs… Read more >

Passport weekend

This is gonna be a long one, but I like recapping our little family weekends, so this is selfishly for my own (online?) memory. Friday morning I had my usual breakfast, toast with an egg.  Only I added something special, that I’ll review more thoroughly later on.   Hint: it’s the peanut butter.  After eating I spent the morning prepping for an interview.  I have mixed feelings about my timeline for going back to work and it’s a complicated issue that I’m not going to discuss on the blog.  Once I know what the plan… Read more >

Our last week in LA

Highlights only.  I could never recap an entire week! Footed PJs are the cutest thing ever. Saturday morning we had an open house.  Rather than subject P to a million people germing up the joint, I took him for a walk.  We went to the Farmer’s Market to re-stock on spinach (this habit requires a constant influx of greens). After everyone left I came home and got ready for a BBQ with friends.  We picked up some apps on the walk over (oh how I will miss these easy walks to friends houses in Santa… Read more >
