Happy mid week pop in! It feels like it should be way later in the week than it is…and yet here we are. No greater love. This batch of crock pot steel cut oats had hemp seeds, brown sugar, and frozen blackberries. P had two bowls, but V stuck to just one serving (followed by a couple of cutie oranges). I had pulled this out of the freezer the night before, so it was ready for my face as soon as they were cleaned up and playing on their own. P had an MD appt that am,… Read more >
Saturday morning was the opening day of little league. There was a parade…with the UC Davis marching band…and all the older teams… He was in awe. And after some speeches and the opening pitch it was bounce house time! I feel like almost every parent in Davis was there this weekend. It was totally the most fun atmosphere.

My mind tricks are clearly not working. Anyway I don’t care because macadamias are delicious. Dinner Slow cooker enchilada quinoa for the win! This was the easiest recipe ever. I omitted the cream cheese and used… Read more >
Ever since last week when I juiced a bunch of beets, I’d been looking forward to dyeing their pancakes pink with some of the juice. Looking good right? Then I flipped them and… What happened?! Where’d the pink go?? It’s like the pink hue just vanished as they cooked…isn’t that weird? The inside was kinda pinkish but it was definitely a let down.
