Sunday and Monday Reflections

I had a big dessert face on both Saturday and Sunday nights, so I have to get my sweet tooth back in check. Chances I manage that with Kyle being out of town the start of this week?  Slim to I’m GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.  Grit over chocolate. Look what I picked from the tomato plant! Finally.  It’s grown to be the hugest monster of all time and yet, yields not very many tomatoes considering how ginormous it is.  No joke, I cannot believe how big this thing is.  P just chucked seeds into… Read more >

Up, down and around Nor Cal

First off, this salad was awesome. I added avocado like I always do, but it didn’t even need it. Seriously, the dressing was spicy in the perfect lip tingling way without being too too much.  It was for sure hot though. Yummmm… Definitely recommend for anyone who lives near Nugget.

Gobble offers

“Is it a weekend day or a work day?”  My kids and I have a similar affinity for the weekend when we are all together. They ask that question so many times a week. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track because Kyle is gone and home and gone and home again.  And then there are Monday holidays that cause extra confusion.  But now that school has re-started it is helping us all get into the routine of things.  My kids and I have a similar appreciation for structure in that way too. Tuesday (that felt… Read more >

Happy Valley

How many popsicles is too many popsicles?  I’m going to say the limit does not exist because nobody seems to have tired of them yet!  I’ve been making them with fruit and fruit and not much else so it’s basically just a different form of eating what they’d be eating anyway. Hers have been mainly banana and applesauce because I’m still not pushing it with foods that could hurt her gut. They make a really good snack actually.  I’m not sure why we haven’t eaten more this summer.  Actually I do know why – my… Read more >
