Gluten free bread maker bread 2.0

A second version of my previous baking success…means I’m basically a pastry chef now right?  HA!  Not even.  I’m pretty proud of this version though and have already remade it. Next up is trial and error with substitutions.  Hopefully a xanthan gum free one and maybe even an egg alternative one??  Those are my Feb goals. I’ve been super into bread lately.  I think it’s my new kale salad accompaniment of choice (although I did just bake crackers the other day so…maybe not). Remember how I went through that cracker bender over the summer??  I must… Read more >

The weekly menu

Monday was a very necessary holiday after Saturday and Sunday were not very restful (Kyle was gone Saturday and then we all left town for our Chico visit on Sunday).  I try to soak up Kyle’s days at home like crazy.  This short week was SO great.  It was rainy on and off so we were limited in our activities and that can sometimes lead to quite a bit of energy bottled up indoors.  But we totally managed to make the week fantastic, which I think was in large part due to having Monday off… Read more >

The weekly menu

Sunday night I made this pork soup which has graced our menu (and the blog) a few times already.  I made a few swaps based on the ingredients we had on hand and what was available in the store (WF was out of ground pork!) but it’s a forgiving recipe in that way.  As long as you stick to the basic flavors with seasonings and whatnot, it is super delicious however you make it! I used ground beef and kale instead of pork and mustard greens and then used vermicelli brown rice noodles instead of… Read more >

Hummus sauce chilaquiles

You could certainly go a bunch of directions with this recipe, but I kept it vegan because…LOOK!!! Chilaquiles are obviously a traditional Mexican dish, so this is not in the realm of authentic.  However, I wanted to tweak the idea of a dish with fried tortilla strip topped with a spicy tomato sauce and cheese (which is what chilaquiles are) using a hummus sauce as the base. Also, it’s super bowl season and Sabra is the “official dip sponsor” so obviously I had to get involved.  Check out dip zone.com for more info on how Stacy’s and Sabra… Read more >

Five ways to get your kid to eat broccoli

I am one of those moms who is lucky enough to have a very adventurous eater.  P will try almost anything and has a pretty diverse palate.  He’s not remotely picky.  He likes kale and brussels sprouts as much as his mama (SO MUCH!); he enjoys prosciutto, dried figs, dates, and home-made (allergy free) pesto; and he asks for tofu with tamari by name on a regular basis.  But there are also things he very much doesn’t like.  He is not down with potatoes in any form, nor does he enjoy tomatoes much (he will tolerate… Read more >
