Open Sesame

I have so much to fill you guys in on.  Like, SO MUCH.  I’m sorry I can’t seem to find the time to blog but P starts school tomorrow and the summer has been all about getting everything squared away for that. For the purposes of this blog, that means…allergy trials!  And guess what!?! Sesame is ALL CLEAR! As you can imagine this is a total game changer. [See above: kiddo’s first sushi] Hummus is back to it’s former role at the base of my dietary food pyramid.  Can I get an amen?!?!  And we are… Read more >

Gnocchi and table tennis

I always thought gnocchi had dairy in it…turns out I was wrong.  Who knew!? Chef P sautéing spinach like a pro. Gnocchi and beans for the whole family. Excuse my ridiculous face below.  Last week we let P watch some TV because hello, it was the Olympics, which prompted some very serious table tennis matches between the two of us. Yes, we are using coasters and there is no ball.  Pretend play at it’s finest.  I won’t lie to you…this is a completely standard portrayal of our antics.  Imagination > everything.  He even let me win… Read more >

You Suck At cooking

Have you guys seen these on youtube? I saw a clip on Jimmy Fallon and was instantly in love.  Watch them, they are hilarious. I haven’t been good about uploading pics but I just wanted to share that link.  But I’ve been cooking up a storm, obvs.  I don’t think I suck at it  😉 Tempeh for all.  Kimchi for my portion only… V sprained her ankle and it’s been terrible to try to keep her off it.  Puzzles in her high chair are my biggest stall tactic right now (while I try to feed my own… Read more >

Allerbling

P is starting school in a few weeks (!!!!) and while he is a fantastic self advocate for his allergies, this is the first time I will be away from him and trusting someone else to feed him.  It’s only a snack (and truth be told, I’m still planning to pack his food every day) BUT he will be around others who are eating (potential allergens) which gives me anxiety just writing it out here now. Thanks to a LOT of teaching, I know he’s ready because… -He asks if foods have peanuts, sesame or cow milk in them… Read more >

Recent Dinner Winners

Just popping in because I wanted to share some recipes that I think others would like. First off, this Thai Kale Salad with Cashews from Minimalist Baker was awesome. Who doesn’t love salty cashews in their face?  Mmmmm.  I subbed sesame oil for olive and nixed the sesame seeds and it was still awesome. We all licked our plates. I would never have thought to add green beans to a salad like this, but it was fantastic. And the dressing!  YUM.  All cashew, all the time. Definitely worth adding to the regular rotation.  Make this,… Read more >
