Another fun one. Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette. It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings. No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly. And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much. Clearly. But that means easy lunch leftovers. Before is above, after is below. Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again. I’m a… Read more >

We’ve hit a road block hiccup (fingers crossed?) in the sleeping schedule and I’m too tired to post much. My little man rung in his 4th month with some crankiness and of course it aligns with me going back to work so I have huge amounts of mommy guilt going on…in addition to the normal desperation of trying to figure out what’s wronggggggg? Isn’t it funny how parents ask their infants that knowing full well a response is out of the question. Anyway. He’s still an exceptionally happy baby so I’m sure it’s just… Read more >

Helloooooo lazy. This is pretty much as good as it gets for a quick week day meal. Allow me to demonstrate. Collect ingredients. Layer. Bake. So easy. And definitely delicious. I made this both gluten free and lactose free so Kyle and I could share it. It’s much easier that way. Isn’t it cool how the spaghetti is baked into the casserole? And the noodles are all plump. Considering how different GF noodles are than wheat noodles, I was happy this turned out as well as it did. I actually think… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >
