During the first month at home, here’s what a typical day with our family of three looks like… 7 am: Wake up (for good). I usually don’t go back to sleep after P decides he’s hungry between 6-8 am. He eats every 2-4 hours or so throughout the night (it’s occasionally more frequent during the day) so if it’s before 6 am I usually try to go back to sleep again, but if it’s after that I just get up. Kyle showers while I change and breast feed and then brings the pack ‘n… Read more >

My mom’s cousin (my second cousin? first cousin once removed?) very generously gifted me a lot of (used) cookbooks recently. And although I haven’t looked through all of them yet, the few I have browsed through look awesome. In fact, last night’s dinner came from this one. I modified it some, and it was definitely a winner. Of all the cookbooks I got, I’ve bookmarked the most to try in 500 Best Quinoa Recipes. They’re all gluten free and creative, but still simple and whole foods based. And even though they aren’t all vegetarian or… Read more >

12/20/12 Thursday in Nor Cal started nice and lazy…for me. Kyle was up and off to San Jose for a business meeting at 7 am after only 5 hours of sleep. I didn’t have anything to do until a 1 pm date at the Walnut Creek Police Department. No, I didn’t get in trouble for anything. I figured (and was definitely correct) that it would be far easier to get an appointment to have our car seat installation checked in the suburbs of the Bay Area than Los Angeles. In continuing the two-a-day challenge,… Read more >

Some of these may seem lame or boring, but when you want a semi-home-made (healthy) meal lickety split, you can’t be too picky. While I mostly prep for the week in advance, I do leave some days open. These "wing it" dinners are typically made from either leftovers (revamped to be something else) or various ingredients I know I have ready in the fridge. As I’ve shared before, I keep certain staples on hand at all times for exactly these scenarios. 1. Stir fry 2. Pasta with veggies 3. Veggie burger 4. Hippie bowl 5…. Read more >

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule). So exciting!! Saturday morning. Frothy mocha flavored milk. Home-made bread. Toasted to oblivion. Buttered up the yin yang. Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening. They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive). Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch. Breakfast grain mix. Seitan. Carrots. Nutritional yeast. Snack. Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus. Carrots…. Read more >
