We ate out at a restaurant!

As a FOURSOME!  Meaning all four of us ordered from the menu and ate the food that was prepared in a restaurant kitchen and I didn’t pack up ANYTHING to bring!! Weeee! It was a big moment. We went to Pushkin’s Restaurant (again) because it’s entirely gluten and dairy free, and remains one of the best brunches we’ve ever had.  They have a vegan menu too, although P wanted bacon and eggs so we didn’t regard that menu this time. They don’t even have (cow) butter on the premises!  They make everything – hollandaise, baked… Read more >

The week before the bug hit

I thought I was better…alas…I am not.  So while I wait out this GI fiasco, I’ll slowly try to get caught up on older posts. I am almost living off kombucha at this point, so it’s good I have food from long ago to share. PS I got a 6 pack of this kevita brand at Costco because it was a good deal…I usually don’t stray from GT’s, but for under $2 a bottle I made an exception.  I like it fine, but I prefer GT’s.  I’d probably still buy it again (because I’m frugal), but I’d… Read more >

Catching up

I came down with a stomach bug (norovirus?) on Friday and was 100% out of commission.  I’m not exaggerating when I say it was worse than child birth.  It was the most terrible 24 hours I can recall going through.  Ever.  So glad that Kyle was not traveling and was able to take the day off because I was hardly able to muster the strength to get to the bathroom.  So I am now way behind in blogging (and the rest of life).  Let’s back up to two weeks ago…before I went to Catalina for… Read more >

Blended coffee

The idea of putting something hot into a blender?  Ummm…side eye…orrrr…not? To be honest, the reason I never looked into the whole bulletproof coffee thing (and all the iterations of recipes that have been born since that one was trademarked) wasn’t because I thought butter and coffee shouldn’t mix (I don’t, nor do I think it’s an adequate replacement for breakfast, but that’s not the main issue), but because I feared whizzing steaming coffee would end in some kind of disastrous burn. Turns out, it’s not as scary as I thought.  Not at all.  But!  Ever since… Read more >

Catalina

What happens on the island stays on the island.  😉 …because it was my sister’s bachelorette!  Breakfast of champions on board our 8 am flight!! Breakfast number two was actual food (salmon plate at George’s Greek Cafe)…so that was nice. Ferry ride… We were nervous about the overcast skies when we arrived, but it blew off by the afternoon and was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS for the rest of the weekend. ‘Gramming while driving (our rental house came with a golf cart).  Not super wise, but this was also maybe the only time we were sober the whole… Read more >
