Emotional eating

Ugh.  It’s been a loooong end to the week.  Weekends are supposed to be restorative and get you refreshed for the work week ahead, but they’ve been anything but relaxing these days.  Stressful, in fact.  We are too busy and as a result I’m choosing food that’s not the best for my body and it’s making me feel blah and I don’t like it.  I could make a million excuses about it, but the reality is, they are choices I’m making, soooooo…I should stop.  But food is comforting and sometimes I just want what I want because… Read more >

Tuna Tuesday

I really like alliterations but hate thinking of post titles.  Sometimes I just want to put a date on it and call it a day.  If I was better about food photography I could just do a bunch of “what I ate” posts, but I forget to capture half the things I make so I can’t really call it that. Anyway, I’m still trying to get the kids’ palates on board with tuna, and Kyle requested nicoise salad this week so boom. It’s a pretty easy way to serve dinner…nobody ate the olives but me (V… Read more >

Meatless Monday

My sister’s future mother in law made me these gluten and dairy free biscotti and they are GOOOOOOOOOOD!! First up, the kiddos breakfast. I accidentally overestimated our banana rate of consumption this past week so we had a lot of brown ones to deal with.  I froze some for smoothies and made a huuuuge batch of pancake batter with a few more…and thus made enough pancakes for the week. I froze some of the extras and saved more for the next two days. I had a few of these guys with my coffee and then it… Read more >

Sideboard and summer preview

OIT update: He is up to 1/8 cup of whole milk and the MD predicts another couple visits until maintenance!! Maintenance is 1/2 cup (taken twice a day) and is meant to provide “free eating” as determined by our personal experimentation afterwards. You aren’t supposed to eat any additional dairy (more than the two 1/2 cup doses per day) for the first month, but after that you can kinda trial and error to see what you tolerate… We haven’t tested it, but the MD also thought he’d be safe with butter by now if we wanted… Read more >

A new breakfast

Stop the presses, they aren’t eating oatmeal or pancakes! Due to a combo of laziness on my part and boredom on their part, I decided it may be time to change up the breakfast routine for them.  I’ve been alternating batches of oats and pancakes for-eh-ver and while each is different depending on what add-ins I choose, it was high time for something truly new.  These GF waffles have been in the freezer since 2015 I think.  Or at least form back when P was still allergic to wheat.  So they shared those and some eggs and… Read more >
