Day 1: breakfast ideas

I did some prep and thought I’d share. banola (grain free nut based granola recipe from 21 Day Sugar Detox) zucchini almond flour bread (from Against All Grain cookbook) blender bread (grain free cashew and egg based bread from Celebrations cookbook) These are going to be my main breakfast items that I’ll rotate between (at least for now), although I like smoothies and juices to start the day, too, so maybe I’ll do some of that. I opted to make my own almond milk creamer to avoid any additives, gums, etc.  I looove the taste… Read more >

SIBO stuff

I talked about this several months ago…back when I was still nursing V and was thinking about how my gut has gotten worse lately.  Well, the time has come to stop talking and take action.  I don’t have a GI MD anymore, but that’s fine because I’m pretty sure I know more about this than anyone I could find locally. After reading this paper through several times, and then researching the crap out of rifaximin and alternative (herbal) therapies, I decided to steer clear of the antibiotics and go with the herbal therapy. Of the… Read more >

A long weekend with the fam

Parenting like a pro over here. These kale chips weren’t quite as cheezy as I was hoping for.  They were delicious nonetheless and stopped me from eating another 2 cups of mac nuts after my salad was all gone, which is my usual MO.

Mr. P and I drove off to Fremont the… Read more >

When the food processor is out…

I am soooooo happy to have a zucchini plant this year that is giving me heaps of produce to shred, spiralize, etc.  Since I had the food processor out already, I prepped a bunch for me to have on hand for pancakes, muffins, whatever, next week. Blender bread!  This is from Danielle Walker’s cookbook Celebrations. I had it bookmarked to make for next week as breakfast/lunch/whatever fare, but then I realized I wanted it that morning.  Stat.  But it had a 60-70 minute bake time, not even counting the prep time, so I decided I… Read more >

Doing toddler things

More pancakes pleeeeeeease… As you wish, my bebes. And then some leftovers waffles for moi.  With cashew buttah. We played outside, I planted the basil that I’d been growing inside, they picked chard and strawberries and zucchini, and they drew a map of all the cities they knew. Until it was time for library. The weather has been nicer out (not as hot) so I didn’t think library would be as crowded.  I was wrong.  It was still a cluster. The kids have been breezing through their summer reading sheets though, so we need new… Read more >
