Lake Tahoe weekend

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe!  And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride.   Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax.  🙂   Ok, first unpack, then relax.  Food much?  You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month.  But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family).   Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?!  SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

Oh nuts

Where to start. Last week was an interesting one for us…turns out Patty-cakes is allergic to peanuts. And maybe more, but we won’t know much more for sure until we meet with the allergist. Needless to say, it was one of the scariest times of my life.  I swear, nothing can prepare you for parenting. I wasn’t going to talk about it here on HHH, but since this blog is (first and foremost) about the dietary management of food sensitivities and digestive issues, I think it’s pretty relevant.  I guess in many ways we are… Read more >

Weekend with Santa

Swim lessons always wear P out so I timed the 50 minute drive to my parents’ house accordingly.  We left straight from the pool in Davis and patty-cakes slept the ENTIRE drive (!!!).  He hates car rides nowadays so this was huge.  I even took advantage of the drive thru Starbucks in Dixon.  🙂 After hanging out with my mom for a bit I made some lunch with leftovers in their fridge. My sister came over later and then I picked Kyle up from the Lafayette BART station and we got things going for dinner…. Read more >

My everyday life

This is a small snack.  The “before” photo is so clean.  Let me tell you, persimmons make one hell of an “after” photo.  Like a blood bath!   Naps are complicated.  When they happen, I’m on cloud 9.   Lunch in peace and quiet.  That’s nearly a whole bag of TJ’s lacinato kale by the way.  Tossed with quinoa and coated in creamy broccoli soup. We put up our tree and hung our stockings.  P loves all of it.  He says “de” and points to all the things.  He wants to communicate so badly. I… Read more >

Mashed potato latke leftovers

I’m not Jewish so I’m not promising this will be anything close to authentic, but it uses potatoes and resembles a pancake, so hey!  Latkes!   Truth be told they tasted a lot like tortilla espanola.   Okay now here’s the thing.  This is not a real recipe because I didn’t measure anything.  But I wanted to share the rough amounts and ingredients because it seems like it’d be forgiving if you wanted to try to replicate what I am showing you.  And it was tasty!   Does anyone even still have leftover mashed potatoes? … Read more >
