A few prepared meals (not by me)

I’ve been a kinda pathetic wife.  At least in the cooking department. Last week I was so busy working I didn’t cook us anything.  Yes, I work nights.  So in theory I could cook us food.  If I had my head on straight.  Which I didn’t. Frozen food to the rescue! Tandoor Chef makes a few veg friendly products and I had a coupon for one, so I let Kyle enjoy the blog perk. His review of the vegetable pad thai: delicious, but not enough for an adult male; just the right amount of greasy;… Read more >

The best thing I ate this week

I fell in love this week and ate the same thing 4 nights.  Or at least a variation of the same thing.   It all revolves around this goat’s milk feta by Redwood Hill Farm.  OMG you guys.  Oh Em Gee. Truth: I got this sample from the company when I visited their farm a few weeks ago.  It sat in the fridge all this time because (silly Elise) I thought I didn’t like feta.  I’ve never tried feta, so I don’t know why I thought this, but it’s just never been appealing to me. … Read more >

Ruts and reining it in

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain.  Wah wah.   Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary.  I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found.  I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it.  Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault.  So I… Read more >

Mocha Caramel Oat Cookies

  Remember how I don’t keep multiple desserts in the house at once?  I lied.  I have become a treat-seeking-night-shift-nurse-who-demands-sugar-as-a-reward-on-her-days-off.  That’s a thing in case you didn’t know.  I’m sure there’s a DSM-V diagnosis somewhere in there if you look hard enough.  Food as a reward, huh.  Not a good plan Elise.  Psychiatrists avert your eyes.    So about these guys. They’re healthy.  Ish.  I suppose the fact that I made them just because I had an itch to eat something sweet tells you the most important thing: they’re sweet. Beyond that, though, they’re not… Read more >

Chocolate Cherry quick bread

  I know it’s all like pumpkin this and pumpkin that and pumpkin all. the. things. up in blogland, but I actually have a non-pumpkin quick bread recipe today.   For the record, I will be making up for lost time and squashing my face away for the next 90 days so don’t you worry about the absence of gourds this first week of fall. We all know October is the best month ever.  It’s pink, it’s my birthday, it’s football, it’s comfort food.  It’s everything good.  So we will get there soon, promise. In… Read more >
