What I Ate (12 month old edition)

I’m starting this post with an 11 month old but I have no faith in my timeliness so I’m titling it as if she’s 1.  It’s soon! 6 am: wake up and nurse 8 am: breakfast This is a smallish meal for her since she has usually just nursed and will nurse again after her morning nap. fruit (right now it’s alllll about blueberries but bananas, melon, and apples work too) home-made puree (#1) of some kind 930-1000: wake up from first nap and nurse 1130-1200: lunch I try to make this mostly finger food that she… Read more >

The weekly menu

I’m still way behind so I’m just trying to pump these posts out and share the eats. This was a weekend breakfast so I got to sit and enjoy it a little slower than usual, but not too slow because we have swimming at 930 on Saturdays which is definitely a struggle from time to time.  V is a napping disaster, but whatever. I couldn’t decide on which butter to use so I opted for both.  And used two forks in the process because I am too lazy to wash in between and obviously don’t want to… Read more >

The weekly menu

I could whine about why I’m so behind but what’s the point.  Super sick children, mastitis, and an out of town husband – there – now you have the bullet points.  Moving on to the food portion from the last couple of weeks… Yup, made the curry chicken lettuce cups from Against All Grain again. This time we had no leftovers.  Sad face/happy face.  Sad because I like it and would want to hoard it for my lunch the next day, but happy because it means it was a recipe success for the whole family.

Jamba Juice is so allergy friendly

Ever since I discovered how awesome Jamba Juice is (in terms of taste and their allergen protocol in the store) I’ve been tempted to let P try it. I want him to learn how to speak up for himself – to self advocate about his allergies and his health needs – and maybe develop a bit of independence in the process.  Also, I want him to get the pleasure of ordering food (if we eat at restaurants with the kids I always bring food for him – I trust no kitchen other than my own). So last week, when… Read more >

Date night goals

Kyle and I went out for a date!! This was basically my (only) New Year’s Resolution.  Hopefully it will become a regular thing (making it a regular thing is my actual resolution).  I know it’s important, but it’s hard for a variety of reasons (some of which are valid and some of which are in my head). We still have never had a non-family member watch the kids, which may seem weird but…I don’t know…we just haven’t. And although I could say a lot right now – about my anxieties and personal road blocks as they relate to… Read more >
