Making quick breads is really as easy as it gets. Kind like learning your A,B,C’s – once you figure out the basics, it’s a snap! I promise I didn’t plan the name of this bread around that little theme, but it was too perfect to NOT call this ABCD bread. If you like dates, you will like this bread. If you don’t (you’re crazy but oh well), you could sub in raisins. It doesn’t have much of a rise, which I may try to figure out in future versions. Maybe extra baking powder or… Read more >

It’s that time of year!! Family visiting. Fires roaring. And work is getting slow (enough) because it’s the holidays so everyone can get together. We were in Chico this past weekend for a wedding, a 1st birthday, and a new baby visit. So many happy things to bring us all together!! We arrived in town on Friday evening and only swung by the hotel for a hot second to drop off our bags (I stayed in the car because P was asleep in the car seat). Immediately after we went to see Billy &… Read more >

I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >

This weekend was full of relaxing at home. Thank goodness! Last weekend I came down with mastitis and was way too ambitious for my own good. We went to a football game with a couple and their 6 month old on Saturday. And then traveled to the East Bay for a baby shower on Sunday. It was really fun, but I my suffer-in-silence-and-just-push-through-it approach completely backfired. Come Monday I felt like crap and it was just me and pacman left to our own devices. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by my stubbornness…nobody? Yeah that’s… Read more >

I exaggerated a lil bit when I said I hadn’t cooked at all last week. I did, in fact, make this dish, for which I had zero expectations. I didn’t take pics with my real camera because of such (sorry, iPhone blah). But then I was so surprised (in a good way) that I decided to share the recipe. It’s very Sandra Lee so I don’t think I deserve a parade or anything (yet). It’s another “supermom recipe” candidate. The kind you can throw together with minimal effort, in negative minutes, while simultaneously doing… Read more >
