Soooo, I’m on a roll with the creamy vitamix recipes. Cashews > Dairy Guess who’s not a big a fan of the vitamix? Poor little guy gets freaked when the motor starts going. 🙁 He’s fine when I hold him next to the blender, but unless he’s in his mommy’s protective hold, he cries at the scary noise. Anyway, let’s get to the recipe because it was rich and thick and made Kyle do his omg-I-love-this-so-much-I’m-going-to-do-dirty-things-to-my-spoon face. I definitely licked the pot before cleaning it (after licking both my bowl and the ladle). The recipe… Read more >

I’m officially a foodie now. I own a vitamix. Birthday present from Kyle. He knows me so well. So this may sound weird but I was kinda scared to use it. And for a solid week it sat untouched because I was too intimidated. I didn’t want to initiate it into my kitchen arsenal with a lame recipe or anything so-so. It had to be epic. Why? Who knows. It’s all in my head. In the end, I chose a cheesy pumpkin sauce. Because blending nuts to creamy dreamy bliss (in seconds!!) was too fun… Read more >

This weekend was full of relaxing at home. Thank goodness! Last weekend I came down with mastitis and was way too ambitious for my own good. We went to a football game with a couple and their 6 month old on Saturday. And then traveled to the East Bay for a baby shower on Sunday. It was really fun, but I my suffer-in-silence-and-just-push-through-it approach completely backfired. Come Monday I felt like crap and it was just me and pacman left to our own devices. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by my stubbornness…nobody? Yeah that’s… Read more >

I stopped taking pics of my lunches a while back because they were soooo repetitive (avo and egg salad with some kind of carb). But then we ran out of eggs and I was forced to get a little more creative. The stars of the show were these gifts from my neighbor. She has a pomegranate tree and hooked me up with 4 red beauties. There’s something therapeutic about de-seeding them. Especially when your kiddo is napping in his crib for the first time in days. [I love chest naps but they make it… Read more >

I followed last week’s fitness and meal plan almost 100% (like 97%)! [I’m just as shocked as you are] The only thing I’m not posting a recipe for is the lentil “meatloaf” – but that’s because I’ve shared a few others already. This one was most like the mushroom version (the first link). The kale salad I made is basically this one. The chili recipe is here. And last, but NOT EVEN REMOTELY least, is the sausage & spinach stew. Okay, so this is my favorite dish at the moment. I had the leftovers for… Read more >
