Brrrr…time for chili

We bought duraflame logs at Target last week so that means it’s officially fall.  The season of soups and stews!  Or maybe that’s winter.  Either way, it’s time for warm comfort food.   Crock pot recipes do NOT photograph well (and I’m not the type of blogger to dirty extra dishes to better show off a recipe).  So you’ll just have to trust me that this tastes better than it looks.   I know I have a (few?) chili recipe(s) on HHH already but this was really good.  Plus, after a summer of neglect, the… Read more >

Trying different things

I ate something different for breakfast every day this week!  That’s so unlike me! Monday: two fried eggs + aged goat milk cheddar + avocado Tuesday: open faced GF toast + aged goat milk cheddar + avocado   Wednesday: banana baked oatmeal + peanut butter + protein powder   Thursday: oatmeal + almond milk + raisins + peanut butter Friday: Udi’s GF bagel + peanut butter + fried egg   Kinda been tweaking my morning routine to try and get more protein in on the days when I eat oats and toast.  Adding protein powder… Read more >

P watched on as I hacked our little sugar pumpkin from Impossible Acres open and scooped out the seeds.  I roasted them – making half savory (salt & pepper) and half sweet (cinnamon & stevia).  [BTW, I did not boil them… Read more >

Halloweeeeeen

Nothing spooky going on over here!   My little lion got his trick or treat on in downtown Davis today.  Man was it crowded!  It was pretty fun going from business to business, showing off our cutie pie, collecting sweets, and enjoying the warm October sun.  His favorite thing of all was the red balloon he got from Mathnasium.  Nerd alert, ha. Hope everyone got their sugar fix tonight.  😀

This week past and future

Last I left off was my birthday dinner.  The next day we went to brunch at La Boulange.  Mine is the salad on the right.  Odd for a breakfast choice, but the taste buds wanted it. We hung around the house until my dad got home from work, then we walked to WF to grab sandos.   This is the crappy iPhone shot I got.  They were out of the Sonoma chik’n salad (which uses Beyond Meat), so I went with a basic vegetarian sando with the works.  Vegenaise and avo together are good stuff. … Read more >
