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 >

Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”. That’s one of my favorite phrases. We could all do well to remember it, which is why I’m posting it here. I get questions and comments all the time about foods that I show on the blog or use in recipes that are/are not FODMAPs friendly. I’m not perfect. I try to eat a low FODMAPs diet most of the time and I do pretty well with it, but I definitely eat things that I know are FODMAPs. Sometimes they are things I know I hardly react… Read more >

Kids, I think it’s safe to say I have turned into a (vegan) bacon-aholic. First there was coconut bacon. Then I did the tempeh thing. And now I’m on to eggplant. If I haven’t convinced you to invest in liquid smoke yet, what the what are you waiting for? [As much as I hate ending the sentence in a preposition, it doesn’t have the same punch when written grammatically correct. Cool?] The tempeh was so good I made a double batch within the week. Kyle still hasn’t tasted it. I’m a pig. <— bacon pun… Read more >

Back to the flatbread! Are your tomato plants going bonkers yet? Mine is just on the cusp of it. So far, just a modest steady stream. A handful or so every couple of days. It’s cool though. I got a late start planting my garden due to our move. But I have neighbors and coworkers with gardens and they are hooking. it. up! Remember when I was pregnant and wanted all things tomato?

Another weekend filled with outings and travel and showing off our little man! Starting with a leisurely Friday. Since I finally polished off the last of the millionth loaf of banana bread I made, I decided to bake a new somethin’ somethin’. More on the above [oatmeal caramel creation] later… This is my new favorite meal. It’s been on repeat, so don’t be surprised if you keep on seeing it. That’s an egg/avo combo on toasted Essential Baking Co bread with a side of veggies (tomatoes from my garden). Look I finally… Read more >
