Lunches in bowls

My lunches fall into 2 categories: repetitive/boring or the previous night’s dinner (occasionally re-vamped).  Here are some of my latest.  Plus a few other quickie recipe reviews that I figured I may as well pass on since they were successful and yummy.  Moroccan salad with cilantro orange dressing by pinch of yum.  I subbed quinoa for the farro, but otherwise made the recipe exactly as written.  It was a big time winner.  I loved the bright tangy orange notes and the sweet dates combined with the pistachios.  Glad our neighbors have an orange tree because… Read more >

Lemon!

You have to say that like Jack Donaghy.  Oh 30 Rock, I miss you. I really don’t crave lemon too often.  Especially in winter.  Citrus seems summery to me, despite the fact that all the orange and lemon trees in our neighborhood are just now bursting with fruit.  Anyway, I picked a few lemons from our neighbor’s tree because I was in the mood for lemony things.  I swear my brain thinks up all the best recipe ideas in the late night hours as I lie in bed trying to fall asleep.  [Which is actually… Read more >

My highlights: week 3

I spent last weekend at my parents’ house because Kyle is out of town and I figured it would be more fun to have company while watching the 49ers game (sad outcome).     Think he likes the pets??  If his first word isn’t ball, it will probably be dog.  It’s hard to say which he’s more obsessed with.    This is the only meal I photographed over the weekend.  I could eat roasted vegetables for every meal always.  P doesn’t like Brussels sprouts, but I’m not too bummed because it means more for me.  He… Read more >

What I did Wednesday

Hello sunshine! First things first, I went on a run with my bundled up babe.  Ok, not first things first.  I nursed him before anything else.  Anyway, it wasn’t that cold out but I still made him super cozy.  As a treat, I hit up Starbucks mid-jog.  Took it home in my travel mug so it was still hot post-shower. Aside from the decaf joe, we had the same thing for breakfast.  Scrambled eggs with a pumpkin coconut flour muffin.  And blueberries.  Always blueberries for the little man. After we played around, I put him… Read more >

More allergy free baking with coconut flour

Success number one with coconut flour baking was enough of a confidence boost to encourage me to try again.  So I did.  This time with a few of the super ripe bananas we had on hand.  Success number two! Because the bananas were almost entirely brown I didn’t think much sugar was necessary and I was right!  This bread is sweet in a way that doesn’t taste “healthy”.  I loved it.  And so did P.  I think it’s going to be the recipe I use for his birthday cupcakes.  Can you believe it’s almost 1… Read more >
