I had breakfast with my mama friends at our Monday (MOPS) meeting, so no photos of that, but it wasn’t that memorable.  It’s a rotating potluck and sometimes the DF/GF options are nonexistent.  Normally I don’t mind but this week they ran out of coffee which is a BIG BIG problem in a room full of preschool moms.  So anyway… I was super excited for lunch! I swapped in smoked salmon (which was what I was really craving) for the protein and fat that I’d normally get from the candied walnuts.  Plus I knew dinner… Read more >

Party weekend was a big success.  I don’t know why but I get a little anxiety leading up to things like this.  Will the kids like the activities?  Will P have fun?  Will the other parents think I’m lame for being a minimalist?  Will P realize that he’s not getting any presents? Anyway.  It went great and everyone had a blast and I’m now ready to take a breather for a bit before starting on plans for my big girl. Nourish bread and almond butter to start the day off right. I froze my a$$… Read more >

Another day, another waffle. This is the last of the buckwheat waffles though, so you’ll have to wait and see what breakfast rut I go back to now…are you so excited!? 😛  It’s too cold for smoothies, so it will likely be granola.

Since I ran out of candied walnuts, my vegan Winter salad was out.  So I made the next best thing…a Thai style salad with leftover grilled salmon. Also in the mix: dino kale (out of curly,… Read more >

I left off with Wednesday’s lunch…after which we had soccer for both kids which means we don’t get home til late so I have to have dinner done and ready to go. I followed Gwyneth’s recipe for Japanese chicken meatballs from It’s All Good swapping in turkey for chicken.  And doubling it. On the side I made quinoa and sauteed snap peas in oil and tamari. So when we got home, it was all ready to go. They are usually each others cheer leaders, but sometimes books are more interesting than soccer. And then I topped… Read more >

I love a short work week! I don’t know why since I don’t actually work, but I just do.  It means Kyle’s home and we can do whatever we want…no agenda (we never seem to have no agenda, though…)!  I’m going to try to catch up with blogging this weekend although per usual, we over-scheduled ourselves just a bit, so we will see if I can sneak in some computer time. P was still sick on Tuesday so he skipped school and I made pancakes for everyone. I went to stroller strides and did a… Read more >
