They aren’t in order but here was last week’s menu. First up, grilling! I usually let Kyle pick our weekend eats because he loves BBQing and doesn’t get a chance to do it on weeknights.  This pork was on sale so we went for it, knowing that the extras could be used in lunches, etc. I made a simple salad on the side – just tomatoes, goat gouda, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt +pepper.  The basil and tomatoes were from the garden.  The goat gouda was from TJ’s and was realllllly good. I wanted to… Read more >

There’s no good name that can sum up the yum so I’m sorry about the title. It’s the sauce that’s the winner, but I can’t really determine the main ingredient in it that makes it so awesome…I guess that’s why it’s so awesome though, right?  So many things meld together in taste bud harmony.  Wow was that a gem of a sentence – I should be a food critic! I copied much of the sauce recipe from this Bon Appetit recipe, but I’m going to write it up with all the changes I made below…. Read more >

Yes, I have a friend who is also named Elise.  It’s very confusing for me since I’ve never shared a name with anyone, let alone someone I interact with frequently.  She has a little boy a few months younger than P so we hang on the regular. Anyway, we went to her house for a potluck/swim/world cup party on Monday.  Oh, and it was her b-day too!  I brought a corn and quinoa dish that I loosely based off this Bon Appetit recipe for Mexican Corn salad.  I made extra and added crab meat to it to… Read more >

Guess what? I have an addiction.  <– first step    These aren’t from the same batch. In other words, I didn’t make a bunch and freeze them for individual daily consumption. Nope. I made myself 1 waffle every. single. day. for breakfast this week. In case you forgot, I posted the recipe here. It couldn’t be easier.  And if making it for 8 solid days straight doesn’t prove that, I don’t know what will. Promise me you’ll try it??  The only ingredients are banana, egg, coconut flour, all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.  I… Read more >

Meal plan time! This past week’s dinners were kinda wonky because Kyle was out of town so I tried to use up much of what was in the fridge.  I really only put effort into Friday’s taco night since he got home for that one. For the most part I stuck to the plan (see chalkboard) but I did end up skipping market on Wednesday (sad face) because P was just not having it. Let’s get to it! Salmon past with veggies.  I ended up eating this a few times for lunches and dinners.  I just bulked… Read more >
