Blueberry Chocolate Chia Pudding

Since summer is berry season, I’ve been unable to hold back when I see cartons of them for super cheap at the farmer’s market.  It’s getting to be a problem.  But honestly, they’re so bright and beautiful!  So I have been freezing lots of them so I can have fresh organic summer berries year round.  Even though I’m front loading the cost now, I’m pretty sure it’ll end up being cheaper than buying frozen organic fruit in winter.  Plus this fruit is at it’s height of ripeness.  You can’t get that in the freezer aisle….

San Fran-iversary weekend

I realize this post is hardly timely.  We didn’t get back from the city until Monday evening and then I worked two nights in a row though…sooo…what can you do?  Truthfully, my weekend recaps are my own selfish way of documenting our memories forever and ever.  If others enjoy them, great!    So let’s back track to Saturday.  I was recovering from a few night shifts so we kept the day mellow.  I ate at odd times and didn’t get close to capturing everything I ate on film.  Did you know sleep deprivation can make… Read more >

Storing summer bounty

Tomatoes, chard, kale, basil, parsley, zucchini, squash, eggplant, corn, peaches, plums, berries, melon, I could go on and on…   Our kitchen counter used to have a fruit basket that was adequate.  But now that we’re in farm country it’s spilled out onto the counter and beyond!  I love it!    And for the record, we have a really big kitchen counter!  [Yikes, that’s messy] What to do with all this wonderful cheap produce!  Uh, freeze it?  Yep, that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it.    First up, pesto!   I used TONSSSSS of… Read more >

Caramel studded oatmeal blondie bars

Uhhh yeah, long name, I know.    But I actually held back because they could have been called a million other things…like lovely gooey bites…or gluten free breakfast squares…or deliciously sweet snack bars…you get the idea, right?    I have a lot of photos of P man-handling these candies because they’ve been on the counter (hashtag dangerous) for a while now.  He loves playing with the bag because it makes noise and his pudgy little fingers can perfectly grasp and shake it.    And yet, we all know how bad terrible of an idea it… Read more >
