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 >

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 >

Initially I was planning on starting my SIBO protocol right after the wedding ended.  But I realized I needed to get myself all set up for a successful 30 days with food prep, which I obviously didn’t get to do this weekend.

My bestie Jess is coming… Read more >

But things went about as smooth as you could hope. Truth be told, Valley girl did NOT like having a baby sitter. AT. ALL. and so that was hard, but it’s over and I’m just glad for that. Started Thursday like the rest of the week…with breakfast and play time outside until it got too hot…. Read more >

We are melting over here in Davis.  For real.  It’s crazy hot and I’m so lucky I have so many friends with pools. Since it reaches 90 degrees by 8 am, the best option for outside time is first thing in the morning.  We don’t have much shade in our yard, but at least the house offers a little before the sun gets all the way up.  Lately we have been eating breakfast al fresco to maximize outside time. It was actually P’s idea.  I was making a summer bucket list and asked him what… Read more >
