Now that’s a lot of food

Turns out I eat a lot.  🙂 Ha.  As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted).  Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES!  Of course!  I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

Accountability day by day

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented.  This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats.  I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so  (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess).  But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body.  I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

The every-day eats

I am bad about taking pics of my daily eats (like I used to) but I get requests for them more than the “real” recipes…so here are  bunch of the quickie things I throw together on the regular.  From last week… Millet with sautĂ©ed spinach, baked tofu & avocado I made the millet in the rice cooker, sautĂ©ed the spinach with sesame oil and tamari, and used Wildwood tofu. I made extras.   I also re-made this salmon pasta, but in a HUUUUGE vat.   Lots of veggies to use up?  Throw them in!  I… Read more >

Merry marry 1st birthday weekend

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 >

On bread and on greens

Quick meals these days! My philosophy: Throw something on toast or a bed of lettuce and call it a day.   [The Essential Baking Co] GF toast with avocado and goat cheese. GF toast with almond butter and a fried egg. GF toast with goat cheese and smoked salmon and balsamic glaze (carrots and grapes on the side). GF toast with goat cheese and eggplant “bacon”   Had this a few times…topped with fried eggs to make it extra snazzy.   And now for the salads… Spinach, tomato, carrots, avocado, and (lots of) hemp seeds….
