Last week closed out with lots of simple meals.  With Kyle being gone I lost steam by Wednesday and turned to the hippie bowl formula I know and love.  Grain + green (veg) + protein.  No objections from the mini man. He helped me chop up this butternut squash and toss it in olive oil.  He then napped through the oven time and woke up to some delicious squash.  I let him sample one but then wait til dinner for the rest. For dinner I fried bacon and then sautéed kale and brussels sprouts in their fat…. Read more >

It’s been a week since I declared my love for this service and that’s maybe a record.  I spend hours a day on their site which is maybe a little sad, but a reality nonetheless.  In my defense, when you’re nursing all the live long day and you have a mobile device that let’s you virtually walk the aisles of your favorite health foods store (all in the luxury environment of your [child free!!] rocking chair) then I’m not sure there’s a better use for the iPhone.  Mic drop.
