What I ate…a long time ago

Last week I took photos of my whole day of eats – something I rarely do anymore – and then I just forgot about it. But they were good meals worth sharing so I’m posting them now because it’s food related and this is a food blog! It’s pretty atypical for me to have oats in the mornings nowadays, so this creation is more of an anomaly than the norm.  I was in the mood for peanut butter but I used sunbutter instead because I’m still nervous about eating nuts when I’m around P.  Even… Read more >

When do you clean the blender?

Here’s the real indicator that I’m type A…I literally clean the blender parts and put them away before I drink my smoothie.  Even when I’m a crazy hangrypants.  Please tell me there are others out there who do this too?  I know the OCD tendencies run deep in food bloggers, so I don’t think I’m going too out on a limb with this.  But I definitely do it every. single. time. I make a smoothie.  Other dishes, not so much.  I’ll wait til after I eat breakfast to clean the frying pan (usually because I… Read more >

Allergy friendly snack bites

More substantial than fruit and veggies, I need (quick) snack ideas that have both nutritional and caloric oomph.  Preferably ones with protein and fat (since carbs are easy to come by in my experience).   Balls for the win. These look so hideous it’s almost embarrassing to post.  It’s not a wonky camera mode, they are really that green color.  It’s because there’s green stuff in them.   Frozen Green Chai Vanilla Bites [vegan, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free] Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1 tbsp protein… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Boulder Canyon Natural Foods olive oil kettle cooked potato chips I’m not sure what makes these “kettle” exactly, but as far as ingredients go they are clean and pure.  Vegan and gluten free.  And FODMAPs friendly.  Purely potatoes, olive oil and salt. I thought they were too greasy, but I’m not a potato chip… Read more >

Checklist fun

Who doesn’t love a nice organized to-do list? This past week was a little different because Kyle was out of town a few nights working.  But he came home to sleep a little bit in between (night shifts).  And he wanted me to pack all his food so he wouldn’t eat crap on the road.  Hence the need for a very mapped out menu.  I can’t stay organized without it all written out nowadays.  My head is too full of other crap (like the tune to head shoulders knees and toes…make it go away!). Breakfast… Read more >
