I’ve been keeping up with weekly meal planning for almost a year now – with random weeks off due to travel/holidays/etc.. But for the most part, it’s been a very successful technique in keeping our food budget in check. I thought it would be way more expensive once we started including meat, but it hasn’t been too significant of a difference because the marginal increase in animal protein is balanced by the fact that we all eat the same thing (thus, a decrease in overall ingredients). One meal as opposed to three. At least for… Read more >

My little boy is no longer a baby. Happy first birthday patty-cakes. You are the biggest source of joy I have ever known. Obviously the boxes and wrapping were more exciting than the actual presents. We had a little party with our closest family and friends. It was pretty perfect. Pacman muffin. 🙂 I had the same breakfast 4 days this week thanks to these GF lemon streusel muffins by Udi’s. Sorry for the hyperbole, but they are SOOO good. I don’t usually go gaga for lemon things, but they actually aren’t mega… Read more >

Does granola necessarily mean oats? Or grains? I read that buckwheat is a fruit the other day. Hmmmm…I know it’s not related to wheat and I know it’s not a grass…eh, whatever [too lazy to google]. Ok so I made these bars and I’m not really sure if they count as granola or not, but if you feel like the ingredients list suits you, then go ahead and give them a shot. And then send me a new recipe name suggestion. 🙂 The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

Whether or not you have a baby with allergies, dining in public is a small adventure each and every time. But when you have to worry about how clean the tables/chairs are, or if the last diner ate something with nuts and there’s residue on the furniture, or…the list goes on and on…it’s enough to overwhelm a rookie parent! I’m not an expert by any means, but here are some of the ways I make it easier and safer for me and P. BYO wipes. I love these ones by Burt’s Bee – they… Read more >

More substantial than fruit and veggies, I need (quick) snack ideas that have both nutritional and caloric oomph. Preferably ones with protein and fat (since carbs are easy to come by in my experience). Balls for the win. These look so hideous it’s almost embarrassing to post. It’s not a wonky camera mode, they are really that green color. It’s because there’s green stuff in them. Frozen Green Chai Vanilla Bites [vegan, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free] Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1 tbsp protein… Read more >
