My Monday started with a very pleasant surprise.  Valley waltzed into the childcare before my MOPS meeting and when I asked if she was ready for me to go she said yes and that was the end of it.  WHAA!?!?!  Amazing! So I celebrated with a donut.  And egg casserole and heaps of coffee and other yums. Things got even better for lunch when I made the same bomb salad from Sunday. Let me remind you…as the base, there was kale and brussels sprouts that I sautéed and then topped with a champagne vinaigrette. Then… Read more >

I have found that my Sunday prep time isn’t as much of an undertaking as it was that first Sunday of January if I keep mostly on top of it.  Making dressings when I run out, having a veggie chopping session mid week, etc, means my weekend prep is very streamlined.  That first Sunday we got back was exceptionally involved because we had just come home from being out of town so you know how the fridge looks after that.  For upcoming breakfasts, I made a batch of pancakes for the kids and bread for… Read more >

FRIYAY! Another week of OIT.  I’m getting sentimental about our Fremont trips already now that we only have one left.  As a special treat, we went EXTRA early so that we could go to WF before his appointment to get donuts.  He has never had a donut, but has read about them in books, and has seen them on display at WF when we go. So I figured why not!?  He’s safe enough with peanut that he can have things from bulk bins and salad bars and whatnot, and WF has vegan donuts so I… Read more >

Let me see how fast I can share my foodie adventures from the non holiday part of the week… Breakfast on the go.  Plus a banana. A new Urbany Remedy salad, compliments of the Fremont WF. The noodles were on the mushy side TBH.  Not sure I’d get it again. But I made it extra good with the addition of… PEANUTS! Oh my gosh, you guys, I can’t even tell you how exciting this was for me. I forgot how GOOD they are!?!?  Ever since we got far enough into OIT I feel okay bringing… Read more >

After a super lazy Saturday, I decided to start Sunday off with stroller strides.  That got my day going!  Yowza – the ‘Boost’ Sunday classes are always an insane workout. I had two muffins for breakfast with cashew butter.  These were almond butter coconut flour ones with dried cranberries.  My friend made a batch of these “paleo” muffins for me back when V broke her femur and I had the last few in the freezer, which saved me since I hadn’t done any prep yet. For lunch I made a Caesar salad with kale, chicken,… Read more >
