How smart is Costco? I mean, they charge for membership. Then they entice you with samples. And they have EVERYTHING. All for a cheaper price than you’d find (almost) anywhere else. But here’s the downside. You don’t need a 10 pound block of cheese or 50 veggie burgers at once. Unless you’re about to cater a party, for vegetarians, that’s an insane amount of food to have at your house. And really, who has enough fridge/freezer space for that? So how do you use Costco (or Sam’s Club or whatever bulk store you shop at)… Read more >

This was my breakfast last Sunday. Then again on Monday. And then again on Wednesday. [Tuesday I went back to the egg and toast routine] There’s no saying how long this will last… Just one massive pancake. The whole batter poured into the 8 inch pan. It’s so fun to eat when it goes on forever and covers the whole plate. These photos are semi-deceiving. These are large dinner plates…making this a pretty sizable flapjack. Oat Peanut Pancake [FODMAPs friendly, gluten free, dairy free; serves 1] Ingredients: 5 tbsp oat flour (certified… Read more >

Well, I’m not in love with the number 2013, but oh well. 365 days of this odd number (it’s not prime, but it may as well be). Don’t worry, I have ZERO desire to list out resolutions for the new year. I don’t know about you but I hate that crap*. I try to (self) reflect and examine how I can improve my lifestyle throughout the year. January 1st is just another rabbit rabbit. Your body can’t tell the difference between this day and April 16th, so make good choices whenever you figure out what… Read more >

Food related gifts are always my favorites. Which is why I was so excited when my sister gave me The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread cookbook. And my parents gave me an aerolatte. This may be an even easier way to get my coffee frothy! I mean, I love my caffe froth, but the clean-up with the aerolatte makes it a million times faster. And let’s be honest, what’s more annoying than an appliance that takes a year to clean (I’m looking at you juicer and food processor). I started with my mug half full of… Read more >

I really don’t like this new UC logo. I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm. That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill. But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come). Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs. There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation. I’m on… Read more >
