Despite Kyle being out of town, it has felt like Friday all week to me! It’s probably partly to do with the kids having both Wednesday and Friday off school. So Tuesday basically was a Friday. And then Thursday was also basically a Friday. So it’s a three day weekend! But mainly, it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted now that we have made it through the election without a 2016 repeat. And for that reason, there’s a little extra pep in my step. Very Fri-YAY-esque. Here’s some random cacth up… Read more >

I took a brief break from my bread and butter brekkies for some granola. Normally I make my own granola, but I got this Sun & Soil granola as a gift a while back and the mood struck. It’s a good one!

I forgot about english muffins! Man, are they good! I started the day with an ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin topped in miyoko’s vegan butter almost every day this week. For lunch I had a Fall themed salad made up of leftovers, with spinach, kale, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, and rosemary flavored nuts. These are so good! I had extras on the side of the salad. They are seasonal so if you see them on the shelf at TJs grab them before they run out. That happened to me last year…. Read more >

We have been changing up the breakfast game more than usual lately because the kids are kinda getting sick of all the usual suspects.

I love any breakfast that includes his dairy (the only other way I’ve figured out to do it is cereal w milk). To stay desensitized, he has… Read more >
